The Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department has welcomed veteran journalist and public relations professional Ginger Rowsey as Public Information Officer, Director Kim Tedford announced Wednesday.
In this role, Rowsey will work with local media and the community to share information about the health department and its programs, and to keep residents informed on matters of public health.
“I’m excited to be joining the Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department and to be working with an elite team of professionals who are creating a healthier community through their programs and services,” Rowsey said.
Rowsey has a long industry in the communications industry. She began her career as an anchor and reporter with WBBJ in 2005. She spent 12 years as spokesperson and communication specialist with the University of Tennessee AgResearch, which includes Research and Education Centers in Jackson and Milan.
