North GA – The North Georgia Health District is proud to announce that this year’s Environmental Health All-Star Award recipient for Health District 1-2 is Wendy Scoggins, Administrative Professional with the Gilmer County Environmental Health Office.
The Environmental Health Office of the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) established this award in 2024 to honor an outstanding Environmental Health Specialist in each of Georgia’s 18 public health districts. Staff members within each district are nominated by their peers, and a special committee carefully selects the top candidate. For North Georgia Health District 1-2, Wendy Scoggins exemplifies what it means to go above and beyond in serving her community through Environmental Health.
Wendy Scoggins, 2025 EHS All Star for District 1-2, and District Environmental Health Director Amy Grice“Wendy has devoted 19 years of service to the health district, where she has been a steadfast and compassionate presence in Environmental Health,” said Amy Grice, MPH, REHS, District 1-2 Environmental Health Director. “She approaches her work with patience, professionalism, and a genuine desire to help others. Her unwavering dedication to customer service has made her a favorite among the public. Real estate agents, local builders, partner agencies, and many others often praise her for her prompt responses, kindness, empathy, and willingness to go the extra mile.”
According to Andrea Mathis, Gilmer County Environmental Health Manager, “Wendy’s personal motto — ‘Treat others the way you would like to be treated’ — shines through in every interaction. As the only administrative staff member in a rapidly growing county, she carries a tremendous workload, managing all customer inquiries, document submittals, and office administration with remarkable organization and efficiency.”
Her extensive knowledge of Environmental Health programs, coupled with the strong partnerships she has built across departments and agencies, makes Wendy not only an invaluable resource to her customers but also to her fellow staff. Her excellence truly embodies the spirit of this award.
We congratulate Wendy on this well-deserved recognition and are proud of our hard-working environmental health staff throughout the district!
