Chances are, if your child got an immunization from the health department over the last 30 years, Kate had a hand in it. She also managed our Bureau for Children with Medical Handicap Program, where she has helped hundreds of families work through supporting children in our community with special medical needs.
Kate will be missed not only as a nurse, but also as a teacher. We have all learned so much from her and appreciate all that she has given to us.

In May 2021, Kate Lewis is retiring from the Highland County Health Department after 31 years as a public health nurse.
Chances are, if your child got an immunization from the health department over the last 30 years, Lewis had a hand in it. She also managed the health department’s Bureau for Children with Medical Handicap Program, where she has helped hundreds of families work through supporting children in our community with special medical needs.
Lewis will be missed not only as a nurse, but also as a teacher.
“We have all learned so much from her and appreciate all that she has given to us,” Highland County Health Commissioner Jared Warner said. “Someone once said to me, ‘there is no one else I want next to me in the trenches than Kate.’ Having lived in the trenches for the last year and a half, we know for certain that this is true.

Miners have returned to their former pit in the Rhigos mountain range after its recent transformation into the fastest seated zip-line in the world.
Before its closure in 2008, Tower Colliery in Hirwaun was the oldest continuously working deep coal mine in the UK. It was threatened with closure in the 1990s, before the miners stepped in to buy it.
One of the miners who used to work there said this regeneration of the site will ensure the legacy of the Tower , and what the men did in buying it, is remembered.
