## Vital Update ##
**As I had just found out, the last seen for Meta and the Parent site is different. Therefore, the whole assumption my argument was based on is wrong.**


I'm leaving the question so that the answer is not without context.

Nevertheless, there are multiple issues with the site (i.e. off-topic questions not being closed, the review queue being full and no mod participation whatsoever), that I am actually voting to get a new Mod election.

## Old Question ##
On a Beta Site, the most important thing (in my humble opinion) are active users.
The second most important thing are active moderators.

Currently, Health.SE has three moderators (**last active numbers are all wrong**):    

 - [Susan][1], who was last seen online yesterday. Susan is also a moderator on Biblical Hermeneutics. Her newest answer was committed on March 10, 2016 and the newest question asked on March 11, 2016.

 - [michaelpri][2], currently last seen online on April 23rd, being 12 days absent from this site now. Michael is also a moderator on Lifehacks.SE. His newest answer was committed on March 4th 2016, and his newest question asked in April 2015.   

 - [John P][3], currently last seen online on April 20th, being 15 days absent from this site now. John is also a moderator on Fitness.SE. His newest answer was committed on March 16, 2017 and his newest question asked on March 26, 2016.

This might be just my impression, but the users I see most on Health.SE are *Lucky*, *Carey Gregory*, *Pills N Pillows*, *Butterfly and Bones* and *L.B*. The review queue does support my impression though, as only one moderator reviewed posts via the review queue as the fifth-to-first user.

In my opinion, it is very important that moderators stay in touch with the community, especially on Beta Sites. I can understand that the moderators have many responsibilities and always a lot going on. I also don't want to create the impression that I pick on these 3 moderators as Stackexchange Users.

**However, if you, the Moderators, feel that you can not be 100% behind managing Health.SE, I would kindly request you to consider the option of stepping down.**

This way it can be ensured that neither of you gets burned out as was recently the case with a few moderators on other sites (we're Health.SE and should be a good example!), and the Community also benefits. Even if no new moderators are appointed or elected, there will be a vacancy for good as everyone will give their best to find a new moderator.

[Is Health.SE sick?][5] is almost 2 years old by now, but the issues still remain unsolved.
