Dr. Bethany Wait, Elkhart County Health Officer, has announced her resignation effective Dec. 31, 2021.

The Elkhart County Health Department issued the following statement:

“In the middle of a pandemic and our community’s most desperate hour, this talented young physician, Dr. Bethany Wait, came to us and hit the ground running,” commented Josi DeHaven, spokesperson and Vice President for the Elkhart County Board of Health. “Her work, her methods and the results of her dedication to every man, woman and child in Elkhart County have made a significant difference to the health and well-being of our diverse community. While we respect her decision, we’re disappointed to know she’s leaving. As you can imagine, the board of health, and I dare say, the thousands of people she’s helped as our County Health Officer, remain grateful for the work she’s done on our behalf.”

She is a TYRANT. Her decisions had very little to do with health and much to do with the politics of the panidemic.

Good riddance. Hope the health board takes a little time to reflect and hire a doctor that is a real doctor with an ability to think outside the box and consider all possible treatments, not a political doctor.
