Ives, PharmD., MPH, Chair, Orange County Board of Health <br /> DATE: November 30, 1995 <br /> RE: Board of Health Goal for Board of Commissioners' Goal Setting Retreat. <br /> The Orange County Board of Health reviewed your memorandum of November 10, 1995, at its regular <br /> meeting of November 16, 1995. At that same meeting, I was elected Chairman for the 1995-96 year. <br /> The Board decided that our top priority remains the same goal we asked you to adopt last year: <br /> DEVELOP A HUMAN SERVICES CONSUMER INVOLVEMENT MECHANISM FOR <br /> HUMAN SERVICES PROGRAM PLANNING. <br /> The objective is to develop a process to identify health problems in the community and develop strategies <br /> to reduce them by using a community-based approach. The specific mechanism is the Orange County <br /> Healthy Carolinians Task Force which you authorized to be implemented. The task force has been <br /> appointed and has held its initial meeting. The Status Report and a Plan of Action are enclosed for your <br /> consideration at the retreat. <br /> Following a multi-faceted approach to Community Health Assessment, involving survey research, focus <br /> groups and secondary data analysis, the task force will recommend priority problems that need attention <br /> and specific strategies to improve the identified health conditions. <br /> The Board of Health requests that you receive the findings of the task force and consider its <br /> recommendations. <br /> We also request that you allocate 10 minutes at the retreat, to the Board of Health for an update from Dr. <br /> Beverly Foster, who represents the Board of Health on the Healthy Carolinians Task Force. It would be an <br /> excellent opportunity to heighten the awareness of the Commissioners and the public regarding "problems <br /> and potential solutions to issues we will face in the future." <br /> Thank you for considering our input into the Commissioners' Goal Setting Retreat. <br /> Radmin/9595/ann/bocc/1195bocc.doe <br /> SOUTHERN ORANGE OFFICE: Carr Mill Mall • Suite 225 • 100 N Greensboro Street • Carrboro, NC 27510 • 919-968-2022 <br />
