The next meeting of the Community Health Advisory Board (CHAB) will be Tuesday, 2 December at 5:30 pm at WGH Conference Room B, Coupeville. This is our annual Legislative Briefing meeting. This is a very important meeting for CHAB. Please  notify Carrie McLachlan if you plan not to attend. We have much to discuss and work to schedule in order to meet our goals for the year.

For minutes of the last meeting: (see minutes)  —  and the next meeting's Agenda

CHAB is always interested in recruiting new members, and visitors to our meetings are always welcome. To more fully understand and to assist in the community process, please consider personally participating in any of the Committees, Task Force teams, or Health Action projects that interest you... your experience and support will be invaluable to these projects. CHAB projects at present are:
     1.  Our two Health Action Teams:
             a) Communicable Disease: b) Physical Activity & Chronic Disease
     2.  Continuing work with the Children's Commission, a coalition working to improve the support activities
           for the children of Island County, and
     3.  a temporarily halted project -- the Children's Fund  for Island County.

When/if you do choose to participate in CHAB, please notify Carrie McLachlan of your interest/activities.

Our Community Health work plan  is evolving as we continue our "Visioning for the New Millennium". If you are interested, come see CHAB at work.
