BACKGROUND:
In May 2015 EHSD created a Community Relations unit within the Administration Bureau for purpose of
initiating an unprecedented outreach and education services on CalFresh, Medi-Cal, and Affordable Care Act for
the general public. This requires close coordination with community based organizations, advocacy groups, legal
interest groups and government service partners such as law enforcement, health, mental health, etc.
In order to ensure appropriate communications with community services and other governmental agencies, the
Community Relations unit is tasked with maintaining outreach and access opportunities to all segments of our
county. This includes but is not limited to outreach to multi-cultural diverse, bilingual, disabled and impaired
populations.
Currently a lack of staff limits EHSD’s ability to promote Contra Costa County services through positive stories
and direct community outreach. The newly created EHSD Community Relations unit requires a skilled, team
effort, which will include (1) Community and Media Relations Specialist, and (1) Administrative Aide.
Community Relations unit is currently working with community partners on outreach programs including literacy
and CalFresh. The Community and Media Relations Specialist will assist the EHSD Division Manager with
sending news releases directly to television, radio and newspaper outlets; provide content to websites, blogs and
social media sites; as well as strengthen Contra Costa EHSD’s presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram;
prepare and update mandatory client videos and materials. The Administrative Aide will analyze effective website
and social media practices, assist with identifying and gathering social medical content. In addition the
Administrative Aide will outreach and recruit EHSD volunteers to sufficiently staff Education and
Outreach/Speakers’ Bureau events, and assist with department’s social media outreach efforts and assist with
social media posts.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the Community Relations and Media Specialist and the Administrative Aide, the Community Relations
unit will be unable to expand the scope of community education and outreach, and collaborate with other County
Agencies and our community partners.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
