The McHenry County Department of Health will hire more staff with the help of a new grant after reporting high rates of staff burnout due to the stress of pandemic-related workloads, which have been ongoing for almost a full year now.
The public health nursing division s 12 employees logged a cumulative total of 1,433 overtime hours during January alone, Public Health Nursing Director Susan Karras said in a McHenry County Board of Health meeting last week. Given that the vast majority of those employees are salaried, overtime hours are unpaid, she added.
