Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson (R-Oak Harbor)is taking a month‑long medical leave after a holiday health scare that led to hospitalization. She says she needs time to recover so she can return fully productive and not distracted by medical appointments, and she wants to avoid making important decisions while not at her best.
They Said It
“Unfortunately, you can say you’re fine all you want … and ultimately your body decides,” she told the News-Times. “Mine just needed to pause and I needed to listen. So I am giving myself the time I need so that I come back productive and not having to schedule around doctor appointments and other distractions.”
