Cabarrus County Health Department <br /> <br />7lJ C'a&~zrrus .,ivey*ur W. * P.O. Box 1149 · Concord..V. C', 2802~ . 1149 · Area Code 704/756-~12I <br /> William F. Pilkington, D'ca~th l)ireccor <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Fred Pilkington, Health Director <br /> <br />FROM: Cindy Walker,'Allied Health Director <br /> <br />DATE: September 29,1994 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Justification for New Position <br /> <br />The Cabarrus County WIC Program has recently boon granted an increase in <br />monthly caseload from 1666 to 1750 with a subsequent increase in funding of <br />$9526.00. Because of the increasing numbers of participants being served on <br />a monthly basis, I am requesting a part-time (15 hours per week) Medical <br />Office Assistant. This person would perform the necessary blood test <br />(hemoglobin) and weigh and measure the participants in order to certify or <br />reeertify them for the WIC Program. At the present time the increase in <br />monthly certifications, recertifications, and assessments has overloaded the <br />existing health department staff in the laboratory. <br /> <br />Because of the versatility of this position, this person could also plot growth <br />charts, make appointments, follow up on missed appointments, and issue food <br />vouchers. This would greatly assist the WIC clerical staff which will soon be <br />short staffed due to ma[ernity leave for one of its workers. <br /> <br /> <br />
