LCHD Staff present: Nola Martz and Laurie Lichte.
The meeting was opened by self introductions for the benefit of existing and new members. Nola welcomed everyone and introduced herself as the new administrator at LCHD.
Members received a packet for their review containing the mission and vision statements for LCHD, the revised organizational chart, a copy of the 2008 financial report LCHD submits to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, and several copies of the LCHD Annual Report, which is enough to share with constituents in their respective communities.
Nola advised the group that LCHD will come up for re-accreditation in 2009. There was discussion about proposing a mil tax levy increase. Pro's, con's and strategies were discussed.
Laurie updated the group on the status of the Health Care Coalition, pending grant awards, and her transition to the Administrative Assistant position at the 4 Life Center. The group was given a demonstration of the HCC Web Site and the LCHD Web Site.
Members were invited to ask questions regarding any of the information presented. There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned.
Next meeting will be July 17th. The group agreed to move the start time up to 6:30 p.m.
