~~~ Historically, UNC Hospitals have contributed up to $50,000 to fund this position. For the most part,
this amount has covered the total cost of the position. Beginning in FY 2005-06, UNC plans to
contribute $25,000 (a reduction of 50%) to offset the cost of the position. The recommendation
provides for the County to cover the remaining cost of the position, expected to be approximately
$29,500.
