New Crawford County 

Health Officer settling in

By Ted Pennekamp

 

Cindy Riniker, recently of Elkader, has for the past few weeks, been settling into her new job as the Crawford County Health Officer.

Riniker, 47, began her duties on April 30 of managing the county’s public health department, which is part of the health and human services department. 

“I’m learning the county and the best ways to get around and also learning what programs are in place in the department,” said Riniker. In time, Riniker said she may delve into adding more programs or refining those already in place.

In Elkader, Riniker worked for the past 25 years for the Clayton County Visiting Nurse Association as a public health and homecare nurse.

Riniker received her associate degree in nursing at Northeast Iowa Community College and a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Viterbo University.

She is working toward a master’s in public health at Purdue Global University, an online university. Riniker said she is expecting to get her master’s degree in September of 2018.
