Karean Reynolds will bring replacement nominee to commission
The Escambia County (Ala.) Commission honored Atmore resident Delois Wilson for her many years of service as a member of the Escambia County Healthcare Authority.
The commission voted to accept Wilson's resignation from the authority and thanked her for her service. District 5 Commissioner Karean Reynolds then presented Wilson with the Impact Award for her dedication and service to the Atmore community for many years. Delois, a retired registered nurse, has been on the healthcare authority since Oct. 21, 2021.
Reynolds will now nominate someone to replace Wilson on the healthcare authority.
