In August, the secretary of health denied an agency-affiliated counselor credential to Sally Jean Bovee.

In September, the Dental Commission entered an agreement with dentist Donald Ray Lunt that fines him $5,000 and requires him to reimburse the commission for $5,582 in expenses.

Lunt didn’t meet the standard of care in treating a patient who had a fibrous growth in her mouth. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with an irreparable nerve injury.
In September, the Chemical Dependency Professional Program indefinitely suspended the chemical dependency professional trainee credential of Christopher L. Standridge, who didn’t comply with a substance- abuse monitoring contract.
