Commissioner Van Doren, the Board’s Health Department liaison, said, “When the Hunterdon County Covid-19 test center closed, the county made plans for residents to be able to pick up free at home Covid-19 test kits to help reduce the spread of infection and provide residents proof of a negative test result for employers, schools, summer camps and other agencies.”

Veterans Services Officer (VSO) Rich Booth has been assisting Veterans with obtaining benefits in Hunterdon County since August of 2018, most recently helping 155 Veterans qualify for $714,082 in VA benefits over the past year and a half. This is in addition to Mr. Booth’s work attending Veterans based conferences and staying up to date with current legislation, Commissioner Board Deputy Director Zachary T. Rich reported.
Deputy Director Rich, the Board’s Veteran’s co-liaison, said, “Mr. Booth was chosen by his peers to be an Executive Board member candidate, and then was elected to that role by those same peers.
