BERRIEN COUNTY, Mich. – The Berrien County Board of Commissioners has named Guy W. Miller as acting health officer for the Berrien County Health Department.

Miller, currently the department’s epidemiologist, will serve as an interim until a full-time appointment is made.

Miller joined the health department six years ago as epidemiologist and brings a decade of public health and healthcare education and experience to the role.

“We are delighted to welcome Guy into this critical role to serve the residents of Berrien County,” said Brian Dissette, county administrator. “Throughout the pandemic, Miller has shown himself a highly effective leader, particularly in keeping the community leaders informed of current infection rates and trends throughout the County by leading case investigation and contact tracing. He has the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in this role.”

Miller succeeds Courtney Davis, who resigned as acting public health officer in October.
