The Christian County Health Department has a new Public Health Administrator. Dr. Chad Anderson accepted the administrator role this January. The qualifications necessary to handle this type of role would require immense experience in the field of public health and awareness, which is why Dr. Anderson was the perfect selection for the position.
After completing his undergraduate at Illinois State University, Dr. Anderson joined the United States Peace Corps which led him abroad, to South Africa. There, Dr. Anderson received his Master’s in Public Health and eventually completed his Ph.D. Dr. Anderson is widely known for his research and development of a new way of staying safe from the malaria virus, an illness that continues to harm African people. By connecting knowledge to music Dr. Anderson created a song that would stick with people affected by the malaria parasite, to promote disease prevention.
