Last year plans were revealed for a satellite clinic of the Pike County Health Department to be located in the form of Majestic Knox Creek Elementary School, now owned by the Pike County government. Pike County officials found out this week, however, that those plans have since been scrapped. At Tuesday's Pike Fiscal Court meeting, Pike County Senior Citizens Director Diane Thacker, who is also a member of the county's health board, told the court that the plans for the health department's satellite clinic at the former Majestic Knox Creek Elementary School had been terminated. In her statement to the court, Thacker was referring to physician assistant Shaleb Rebarly with the Pike County Health Department. Thacker clarified that the decision to scrap the clinic plan was that of health department director Dr. Rafael Rangel. The revelation left some members of the court taken aback, including Deputy Judge Executive Herbie Deskins, who asked Thacker to help schedule a special meeting of the Board of Health to discuss the decision. Thacker said the ultimate reason for Rangel's decision was the cost associated with staffing the proposed clinic. Majestic Knox Creek Elementary School was closed in 2013. And later sold to Pike County. It has set vacant since closing. In Pike County, Chris Anderson, EKB News.
