Anthony stated that he would talk <br />with Dr. Woodruff about using his Medicaid and Medicare <br />numbers at the Health Department until the Rural Health <br />numbers are received. <br />Under other discussion, Latricia Miller informed the Board <br />of problems at the jail regarding the prescribing of <br />Prozac to inmates. <br />Anthony passed out monthly reports. <br />The next meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, March 8, <br />1995 at the Holiday Inn at 7:00 am.
