Ms. Harlan is a registered nurse with a wealth <br />of experience in services to Hispanic populations. In addition, she has expertise <br />in both nursing and public health and is bilingual. Her application is attached <br />for your review. <br />Dr. Timothy Carey is recommended for your consideration to fill the expired <br />physician position on the Board of Health. Dr. Carey is an internist in the UNC <br />Health Care System and is the Director of the Sheps Center for Health Services <br />Research. Dr. Carey is a practicing physician as well as an educator and <br />researcher in public health and health services. Dr. Carey is a volunteer <br />physician who provides services to the residents of the Homeless Shelter in <br />Chapel Hill. He will afford the Board a valuable link with the University <br />community. His application is also attached for your review. <br />These appointments would fill the current vacancies on the Board of Health. It <br />is our understanding that Dr. Carey, if appointed would serve a partial term (one <br />year) and then be eligible for two full terms beginning July 1, 2005. Ms. <br />Harlan, if appointed would also be filling a partial term that ends on June 30, <br />2005 and then be eligible for one additional term under the current rules that the <br />Commissioners have adopted. <br />Thank you for your consideration of these applicants. <br /> <br />
