The Fishers Health Department (FHD) said it planned to begin restaurant inspections in 2023, and that program has begun.

According to a report submitted to the Fishers City Council, FHD has issued grades to 84 facilities, with 81 meriting an “A” Grade.  279 more facilities are in the process of being inspected and graded. Grades are to be posted publicly September 30 of this year.  The department is making final changes to a GIS dashboard system for any member of the public to view and access all facilities and associated inspection reports and letter grades.

The Fishers COVID-19 case level has been flat over the past two weeks with the CDC-defined community COVID level at “low.”  FHD says Influenza-like illness remains low in Fishers after a December 2022 peak.

The department will soon be welcoming two new staff members.  Offers from FHD have been accepted for Health Educator and Social Worker positions. The Health Educator is set to start full-time at end of May. The Social Worker starts April 10 in a grant funded position through June 30, 2025.
