DETERMINE that the seat designated for the State Department of Health Services be converted into an at-large seat. When PEHAB was first formed in 1986, the Board Order specified that one seat be designated for a representative from the State Department of Health Services. We have recruited intensively for this seat, which historically has been difficult to fill due to travel constraints for many Department of Health Services personnel. An at- large seat will allow PEHAB to offer a seat, without the constraints of professional or geographical category,to a community member who has both experience with public health and the time required to serve on a Board as active as PEHAB. PEHAB will continue to maintain a collaborative relationship with the State Department of Health Services through Board Members and County Health Services Department staff who work with State employees on joint projects. Background: Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board was appointed by the Board of Supervisors in 1986 to advise the Health Services Department on community needs. It is a community-oriented board which seeks diverse representation from throughout the County and includes but is not limited to constituents from the community representing older adults, children, business/industry, labor, environmental organizations,and consumers. In addition,PEHAB currently includes representatives from UC Berkeley School of Public Health, local voluntary agencies, and the medical provider community, which help comprise a diverse and knowledgeable advisory board. PEHAB's purpose is to assess the current health status of county residents, outline emerging health needs and trends, and make recommendations to the Health Services Department on ways to meet the health needs of Contra Costa residents given the County's limited financial and staff resources. PEHAB has grown from the original 12 member board to a Board comprised of 19 members and in its 10 years of existence has strived to work with the community to assess the health needs of County residents.
