BLOOMINGTON — Officials have announced that the Monroe County Board of Health meeting originally scheduled for this week has been cancelled.

- Service Restructuring: Developing new ways to provide mandated health services—such as vaccinations and disease education—following the conclusion of a long-standing 60-year partnership with IU Health.
- Policy Discussions: Ongoing debates regarding the 2026 budget and potential changes to how public comments are handled during meetings.

While the February meeting will not take place, the Board’s established 2026 schedule currently lists the next regular session for Thursday, March 19, 2026, at the same time and location.
