I also work in behavioral health in partnership with the North Carolina Statewide <br /> Telepsychiatry Program and have participated in several statewide taskforces and workgroups <br /> on population health, community health assessments, mental health, Medicaid, and quality <br /> improvement. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I have a deep appreciation for improving public health and for the citizens of Orange County. <br /> Joining the Board of Health has become of more interest to me in the past year or so since I was <br /> elected to the Hillsborough Town Board of Commissioners and have become involved with more <br /> and more county-level responsibilities as a byproduct of being on the Town Board. I believe my <br /> substantial knowledge of health information technology and public and population health could <br /> benefit the Orange County Board of Health. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br />
