The cabinet secretary of the West Virginia Department of Health and former health officer of Kanawha County is being recognized for her work throughout the state.
Dr. Sherri Young has been recognized as one of this year’s “West Virginia Wonder Women” by WV Living magazine. A news release from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine said Young is one of 50 women featured for helping to bring positive change in West Virginia through years working in public health. The newly formed West Virginia Department of Health is one of three departments that will replace the Department of Health and Human Resources in January 2024.
WV Living will honor the recipients at a West Virginia Wonder Women event on Nov. 1 in Charleston.
