Internal review details challenges in Monroe response to serious infection

An internal Monroe County Health Department review found that staff struggled at times to reach former Health Officer Dr. Sarah Ryterband and lacked clear backup authority for key medical decisions during the response to a potentially lethal bacterial infection. The review, released last week, was conducted after the department responded to a meningococcal disease case in May. The report identified gaps but also praised staff for working outside their normal duties and hours, collaborating smoothly with state health officials and quickly securing and dispensing medication to people identified at risk of infection. Meningococcal disease is a bacterial infection that can become deadly within hours, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The public health response to such an infection requires speed because medication given to prevent infection after exposure works only within a tight window. Ryterband quit Thursday, weeks after firing the department's former administrator, Lori Kelley. In complaints filed with state and federal authorities, Kelley accused Ryterband of sexual harassment and retaliation, alleging she was fired after reporting the behavior. Ryterband has described the allegations as baseless and bewildering. Ryterband's resignation and Kelley's firing came amid broader staffing shortages and accusations of internal strife at the department.

Health officer resigns before hearing as Monroe County services pause

Embattled Monroe County Health Officer Dr. Sarah Ryterband resigned abruptly Thursday, minutes before the health board planned to begin a public hearing on her possible removal. Her resignation forced the health department to suspend some services and close to walk-in visitors beginning Friday, Oct. 23, 2026. The department announced after the meeting that it would not be able to issue permits or birth and death certificates or provide some testing and treatment until an interim health officer is appointed. The department encouraged patients to call 812-349-2543 to make an appointment. “It has been interesting partnering with you all, and I do love you. But I am done. I resign effective immediately,” Ryterband said after taking about seven minutes to read a prepared statement. She then walked out of the meeting room on the first floor of the health building on Seventh Street, leaving the board to cancel the public hearing and discuss a replacement. Board Chair Dr. Lisa Hanner-Robinson immediately proposed appointing Dr. Paul Broderick, the Morgan County health officer, as interim health officer, suggesting county officials had already begun considering contingency plans in the event of Ryterband’s removal or resignation. Board members endorsed pursuing the appointment, which still requires
