In an announcement coming after 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed five members to the Halifax Health Board of Commissioners, including two new appointees.
Glenn Ritchey, Ed Connor and Dr. Carl "Rick" Lentz were reappointed, while Alan Florez and Dr. Michael Munier join the board, whose next meeting is Jan. 13.
Florez, an insurance executive, and Munier, an ear, nose and throat doctor, replace Daniel Francati and the board's only woman, Susan Schandel, on the seven-member panel.
The other two Halifax board members — who remain on the board because their terms were not up — are Harold Goodemote and Tom McCall.
