NEW BUSINESS Presentation of the Public Health Authority Proposal - Dr. Carolyn R. Thompson, Chatr~ Public Health Authority Task Force Dr. Carolyn R. Thompson, Chair of the Public Health Authority Task Force, presented the ~Public Health Authority Task Force Recommendations and Report~ which recommended the establishment of a Public Health Authority for Cabarrus County. The health authority would assume the following services currently provided by the Health Department: Prenatal Care, Family Planning, Well-Child Screenings, Orthopedic Screenings, School Health, Health Education/Wellness, Social Work, Nutrition/WIC, Adult Health Screening, Dental Health, Laboratory Services and Jail Health Services. In addition, the Task Force recommended that Emergency Medical Services and Home Health Services be included as a part of the authority. The recommended structure of the Health Authority Board included a member of the Board of Health, Board of Commissioners (or designee), Cabarrus County Medical Society, Cabarrus Physicians Organization, Cabarrus Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees and two public members recommended by the other five appointees. Also, the Task Force recommended the appointment of an advisory board consisting of a representative from each township to bring recommendations to the authority from throughout the county. In summary, Dr. Thompson stated that the authority is a good idea for Cabarrus County because it creates a new public health entity with greater operational flexibility, facilitates county-wide health planning, allows efficiency of public health operations, reduces county payroll, stabilizes the county's cost for indigent health care and provides opportunities for public and private health services providers to work together and eliminate unnecessary and costly duplication of services. Dr. William F. Pilkington responded to questions regarding employee considerations relative to the establishment of the health authority. He pointed out that the authority employees will retain County benefits with two possible exceptions, Social Security and N.C. Local Government Retirement System, which will require a vote of the employees. Mr. Clifton advised that modifications to the proposed membership of the authority board may be necessary to provide representation for Home Health and Emergency Medical Services.
