County employee honored as top public health nurse

A Henderson County public health nurse was honored as the outstanding public health nurse in North Carolina.
The Board of Commissioners on Monday recognized Betsy Alexander, who has been a public health nurse for the past 18 years.
“Betsy presents a tireless effort to advance the cause and importance of public health nursing,” Public Health Director Steve Smith said in nominating Alexander for the award.

She was the second Henderson County public health nurse to win the award in the past 10 years, said Commissioner Bill Lapsley, who also serves on the Board of Health. Barbara Stanley previously won the honor.
