The Nebraska Board of Health says it's searching for professionals to fill vacancies on two of its boards.

The Board of Alcohol and Drug Counseling needs a practicing alcohol and drug counselor, and the Board of Hearing Instrument Specialists needs an experienced audiologist. The boards are responsible for granting licenses to health care providers.

The application deadline is Feb. 20. The application form is posted on the Department of Health and Human Services' website. Candidates will be interviewed on March 18. Selected candidates will be appointed to serve on the boards by the State Board of Health later that day.
