Haldeman, M.D. 1891-1897 Historical Note: Nebraska made provision in 1891 to create a State Board of Health, but it was not until 1899 that a specific effort toward executive action in public health was made. Then in 1903 the powers and duties of the State Board were enlarged and the office of health inspector was created. A legislative act of 1917 established a State Depart- ment of Health and abolished the State Board of Health law. In 1919 the functions of the Health Department were conferred upon the new Department of Public Welfare, with a Bureau of Health. The Depart- ment of Health was re-established in 1933 with a director as its head; and in 1953 a State Board of Health was once more provided to formulate policies and plans for the Department and to appoint its director of health, who also serves as Board secretary.
