6 <br /> EXHIBIT A T <br /> OCHD INFORMATION FOR INCORPORATION <br /> INTO THE FRC GRANT PROPOSAL <br /> Staffing: The Orange County Health Department involvement in this project would <br /> emanate from the Personal Health Services Division directed by Eileen Kugler who has a <br /> background as a public health nurse, family nurse practitioner and program <br /> administrator/developer. Belinda Jones, Health Education Section Supervisor, will <br /> supervise the OCHD liaison working on the project. See the Agency Qualifications <br /> section for further information. <br /> Relationship to FRC sites: Health Department staff met with Tiffany Sanchez <br /> Rodriquez and Karen Solomon to discuss the nature of a partnership approach to the <br /> management of the FRC's between the Orange County Health Department (OCHD) and <br /> Chapel Hill Training Outreach, Inc. (CHTO). A brief discussion was held with Bessie <br /> Wiggins,Coordinator for the Northern Orange FRC, about the Health Department's <br /> interest in the FRC's. Ms. Wiggins was very receptive to and enthusiastic about this <br /> possibility. A part time OCHD liaison position will be established to work closely with the <br /> central coordinator as well as each individual center coordinator and the governing boards <br /> to assist with community organization and development, building the leadership capacity <br /> of community members, coordination of programming provided by the Health Department <br /> and other resources as appropriate. We propose that there be a representative from the <br /> Health Department on each of the governing boards. This representative would not be the <br /> same person as the liaison. <br /> Collaboration/Partnership: CHTO and OCHD are making application for funding for <br /> the administration and development of the family resource centers. CHTO will be the <br /> recipient of the funds and thereby be the fiscal agent with primary responsibility for all <br /> administrative aspects of the initiative. OCHD will have primary, but not exclusive, <br /> responsibility for the programming aspects of the initiative. Examples of services OCHD <br /> may provide, in collaboration with CHTO, the participating communities and the center <br /> governing boards, include the following: community organization/development, <br /> leadership training for community members(Community Voices); work with communities <br /> to assist them in determining their assets, goals and areas in which they need assistance in <br /> accomplishing their goals; training for FRC staff in community organization/development; <br /> health and developmental screenings, well child exams, immunizations, classes on health <br /> and other topics of interest to the communities; outstationing of staff(nurses, health <br /> educators, community health assistants, social workers) as appropriate to the FRC's to <br /> _- provide services and increase outreach capability; linking of families in the communities <br /> OCHD staff is currently working with through its outreach programs(Child Service <br /> Coordination, Maternity Care Coordination, Maternal Outreach Worker)to FRC <br /> programs. <br /> Agency Qualifications: The OCHD has been a primary player in the Community Based <br /> Public Health(CBPH) Initiative funded by the Kellogg Foundation.
