RE: Veterinary Representative Appointment
Dear Donna,
This letter is to affirm that the BOH recommends the appointment of Dr. Deborah
Lee Pickett to be the Veterinary representative on this board. This seat was
vacated by Susan Elmore. We are sincerely requesting placement on the BOCC's
next meeting agenda. As you may be aware, we have been actively searching to
fulfill this position for a few months and have finally found a viable and most
qualified applicant. We have an upcoming Accreditation-required training through
UNC that is scheduled for our next board meeting on September 181h. We'd like for
Dr. Pickett to be able to participate as this training is only held once within each
Accreditation cycle.
Sincerely,
.ea Jaya.Sbc uW

Ethnic Background: white
Community Activities/Organizational Memberships:
A great deal of my engagement with the community has been through my work with the
UNC Public Policy Capstone Course, and includes work with the Orange County Board of
Health, Piedmont Health Services, Dementia Inclusive Durham. 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.
Boards/Commissions applied for:
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:

Page 2 of 2 Aimee McHale
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.

I have a BA in psychology and an MA in Counseling Psychology. I am also a Licensed
Professional Counselor in North Carolina. I have worked in government agencies, non-profit
agencies, and for-profit community clinics. My experience has been primarily with the poor and I
am regularly in contact with community and government stakeholders.
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.

Board of Health
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
Knowledge of public health practice at the state level in NC and in the US, as a former employee
of the NC Division of Public Health and current contractor to CDC (through work at RTI).
General familiarity with NC public health law and rule making of the Public Health Commission.
Maintained interest in and engagement with public health practitioners and partners through
responsibilities to educate next generation of public health physicians as Preventive Medicine
Residency Director at UNC. I attempt to keep abreast of active public health issues in the state
through attending state conferences (e.g., Public Health Leaders Conference, NCIOM) and
networking to place residents in public and population health rotations as part of their training.

Page 2 of 2 Deborah Porterfield
Ever since leaving the practice of public health in NC and entering a position at RTI where I
support public health (but indirectly)at the federal level, I have had the intent to serve on a NC
Board of Health or the Public Health Commission. Overall work and family responsibilities have
prevented me from applying for this role until now.
I am applying for an at-large position. Though I am a physician by training, I no longer do
individual patient care, which may be a necessary prerequisite for the physician position.
Conflict of Interest:
I do not believe this is a COI, however I have a professional connection to Dr. Pettigrew, the
Medical Director, who serves on the Residency Advisory Committee for the residency I direct
and has mentored Preventive Medicine residents in the past. Dr. Pettigrew is aware I intend to
apply for this position, and if this creates any conflict of interest we will determine how it can be
addressed or mitigated.

Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
I have not served in these roles
Boards/Commissions applied for:
Board of Health
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I am trained as a Primary Care Internal Medicine doctor and have been on UNC faculty for my
entire career, now 20 years.
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.

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.
