Susan D. Lutes, MPH

I work closely with Lana in my role as as the Regional Epidemiologist for the same district. She has been a strong, knowledgeable, empathetic and dependable source for both myself and the facilities that we serve. I go to her for advice and education almost weekly in our roles for the Kentucky Department of Public Health. She is highly skilled and one of the most competent and capable individuals I have had the pleasure of serving with.
