Ada commissioners won't keep Dr. Epperly, who favored COVID measures, on health board

Ada County Commissioners have decided not to renew the appointment of Dr. Ted Epperly to the Central District Health board.

“After 15 years of service to Central District Health, I was sent an e-mail saying … ‘Thank You For Your Service.’ An incredible example of politics becoming more important than public health knowledge and expertise,” Epperly told the Idaho Capital Sun via text message.

His term was set to end in 2021.

“I know what I had to say and did helped a lot of people and for that I am truly proud,” Epperly told the Sun.

The Sun confirmed with the Ada County Commissioners‘ office Thursday that Epperly’s term will not be renewed when the commissioners fill the seat for the upcoming term.
