The Board of Health all agreed that her background, experience and overall philosophy of healthcare issues would be very beneficial to the board. Let me know if you need anything further.

Board of Health Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As a medical provider, of course I am invested in the health of my patients and community. But my experiences outside of direct medical care are equally relevant. From working at the United Nations in Bangkok studying HIV transmission in Southeast Asia, to teaching preventive health to incarcerated juveniles in Richmond, Virginia, to volunteering to provide care to people experiencing homelessness in Pittsburgh, Manhattan, and San Diego, I have a diverse background in both caring directly for our most vulnerable fellow Americans and advocating for them on a larger level. I completed a Masters in Public Health at Johns Hopkins, and this combined with my training and practice in Baltimore starkly revealed how great the needs are right here in America, in my neighborhoods. I believe that my clinical experience and my public health work provide me a solid background to be a very useful member of the Orange County Board of Health. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Healthcare disparities and lack of access are among this country s greatest moral shortcomings, and through research and action we can actually rectify this. Here in Orange County, as in many parts of the country, some of us enjoy excellent healthcare access and outcomes while others struggle to have basic needs met. Orange County is a special place in which many people 5 Page 2 of 2 Aparna Jonnal Other Comments: This application was current on:5/17/2019 6:25:54 AM Date Printed:5/17/2019 Supplemental Questions: Boards/Commissions appointments: believe in equity and justice, so translating these ideals into actual improvements for all of our residents seems important and quite possible. This is a divisive time in America and healthcare is a great unifier. Every person, regardless of identity or beliefs, should have access to quality healthcare, particularly preventive care which is not only humane but most efficient. I simply cannot imagine not working toward healthcare equity and justice. Conflict of Interest: 6 From: Elmore, Susan (NIH/NIEHS) [E] [mailto:elmore@niehs.nih.gov] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2019 10:35 PM To: Tim Smith, PE, PLS; Jessica Frega Cc: Quintana Stewart; Elmore, Susan (NIH/NIEHS) [E] Subject: [EXTERNAL MAIL!] FW: time to step down Dear Tim and Jessica, As you can see from the email below I have submitted my resignation from the Animal Services Advisory board (ASAB), to end my term one year early (June 2019). My position on the Board of Health has been as an ASAB liaison so this will also end my term on both boards. I have no doubt that the ASAB will be able to find a replacement for me soon. There is already a veterinarian serving on the ASAB and she may wish to be considered for this position. I’m sure that Bob will be in communication with Quintana soon. I have immensely enjoyed serving the citizens of Orange County. I will continue my service on the NC Association of Local Boards of Health as an Emeritus member and also on the NC Local Health Department Accreditation Board. My term on the Board of Health has been such a rewarding experience. Hiring two of the best Health Directors (Colleen and Quintana) were certainly highlights. Quintana was such a joy to discover and I’m sure she’ll continue do great things for our health department and the citizens of Orange County. Banning smoking in public areas was also a highlight. I do hope that the board will reconsider vaping in public spaces as this will be a very progressive action and safeguard public health. Keep an eye on what the Durham Board of Health does! Before I am gone from this board I will provide Quintana with information on the work of the Dangerous Animals Taskforce to update our current ordinance. I will see you both tomorrow night. 7 May 31, 2019 Tim Smith, PE, PLS Chair Orange County Board of Health Dear Tim, It is with sincere regret that, for personal reasons, I need to resign my position as a Member-at- Large on the Orange County Board of Health. I do so after much reflection and soul-searching; however, due to numerous back-to-back, medical issues and crises in my immediate family, I have not been able to attend the board meetings in recent months. I deeply appreciate the board’s understanding of my circumstances and your willingness to grant some leeway for me to better determine whether the current situation might be short-term, or on-going. It now appears that the medical issues will be on-going in the foreseeable future. I cannot, in good faith, continue to hold a seat on the board, if I cannot be an active, contributing member, and therefore I am tendering my resignation, effective June 1, 2019. It has been both an honor and a privilege to have served on the Board of Health for one full- term and to have been reappointed for a second term. I have appreciated the opportunity, and I will miss the continued involvement with the board in its role of promoting and advocating for the health and well-being of all the citizens of Orange County. Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement. I will miss all of you on a personal level, as well! Best Regards, Barbara O. Chavious Barbara O.

I am active with my daughter s school (Carrboro High School) and am a member of a local political activism group. Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: I have not served on any such boards. Board of Health Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I have a law degree with a concentration in health law, and a MSPH in health policy and management. I was also a board member (including three years as president) of a community health center in Gaston County, NC, before I moved to Chapel Hill. I am currently on the faculty of the Gillings School of Global Public Health at UNC, where I teach courses in the US health system and health policy. I have a long-standing commitment to improving the health of underserved communities, including communities of color, immigrants and the LGBT community. I have worked with student teams who have completed projects for the OCBoH, Piedmont Health, and other community organizations, which has given me great insight into the health needs of the county and the active role of the OCBoH in promoting health in our community. As someone who has a background in both law and public health, and who has worked in management, programs and policy, I think that I have a unique skill set that would add to the already strong board. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: 15 Page 2 of 2 Aimee McHale Other Comments: This application was current on:4/16/2019 Date Printed:4/17/2019 Supplemental Questions: Boards/Commissions appointments: Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I have long wanted to become more involved with community organizations, but have had an extremely heavy teaching load which, combined with my responsibilities as the mother of a teenager, have made it difficult for me to commit additional time. In my new role as a faculty member in the Public Health Leadership Program at UNC, one of my responsibilities is to maintain a connection to the public health community, so when I learned of an upcoming vacancy on the BoH, it seemed like a natural fit. When I have attended BoH meetings in the past, I have been favorably impressed with the board dynamics. As well, with the change in the national administration and ongoing issues within the NC legislature, I believe that my particular skills and experience - in law and public health, programs, policy and advocacy - would be useful as the Board continues to work to secure and improve the health of Orange County residents.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Mental health is changing, and many have access only through state and county services. The quality of a community s mental health infrastructure can affect the economic stability of its citizens and the services that support them. Inadequate access can put a strain on emergency, law enforcement, and judicial resources.

Originally from New York City, I came to medicine by a circuitous path, with 2 humanities majors, (history and psychology) searching for meaningful work that could incorporate active care and social justice. I volunteered as a Rape Crisis Counselor before medical school and worked in a psychiatric hospital. Initially, my longstanding interest and concern for the rights of women and those with psychiatric illness caused me to choose a primary care medicine path. I have served as Medical Co-Director of UNC s Beacon Child and Family Program (serving survivors of violence) and have taught and performed research in the field of intimate partner violence and trauma informed care locally, nationally and internationally. 29 Page 2 of 2 Amy Weil Other Comments: This application was current on:5/23/2019 3:19:39 PM Date Printed:6/3/2019 Supplemental Questions: Boards/Commissions appointments: I am also the Clinical Supervisor of our co located Behavioral Health Program within our clinic, caring for people living with depresion and anxiety. Over the years, I have taught extensively in our Medicine and Society course, created a course for clinical students, integrating the humanities into our programming to enable students to reflect on the meaning of their work, with special attention to who they and their patients are, believing that our complexity and diversity enriches everyone. In addition, I served for a number of years as the ally Advisor to the Queer Straight Alliance student interest group who have now advocated for more LGBTQ education materials. Perhaps because my husband is of Sri Lankan descent I have advised students from diverse backgrounds and experiences. I care for patients and teach students and residents in my own clinic and especially invite non majority patients into my care. These relationships, some of which are now ongoing for 20 years, often with multiple family members, are the most special parts of serving as a physician. My recent work has been in the areas of student and physician wellness as well as alternative care models. I am particularly interested in getting interprofessional learners out to the community to patients who are not being served well in our current healthcare system where they can engage on more equal and real terms and set and achieve patient centered goals. This work helps students to remember why they chose a career in healthcare. Partnerships with community service organizations could be a big help toward reengaging these patients with healthcare and improving the health of our community, however, creating these liasions is complex and challenging. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I was asked to apply. Though a very active volunteer at my workplace and national organizations I had stepped back from local volunteering as my kids were growing but now have one son in college and the other entering 11th grade, so feel more able to offer my time. Given my interests and concerns with vulnerable populations and my lifelong advocacy for these groups I feel that I could have a powerful and needed voice for them on the Board. I would also welcome the opportunity to create deeper community partnerships that could help serve our patients and learners better.
