Health Director Report Patty Rhodes, RN and Jessica Flagler, SW from Smart Start funded positions will be transferred to county permanent positions effective July 1. Patty will be moving into the vacant Refugee Health Nurse position and doing a hybrid role by continuing to provide communicable disease, immunization, and diaper/hand washing consultation to licensed day cares. Jessica will be assuming the vacant SW position within the PCM/CC4C Care Management program but also may be doing the hybrid model by serving families at high risk of child abuse/neglect. The BOCC agreed to provide $33,000 to sustain the dental services program once funded by the OC Partnership for Young Children. We understand this means direct funding to the Health Dept and not a "pass through" from Smart Start going forward. Construction report: We are still on track to move the medical clinic to A Bldg Basement the week of June 27 and reopen for business on July 5. Staff moves to the second floor A Bldg are delayed by at least 2 weeks due to additional construction requests (bathrooms, classroom, and BOH conference room). Dental Clinic renovations are
