This seat was vacated by Jennifer Deyo. We are sincerely requesting placement on the BOCC's next meeting agenda.

I was the first pharmacist on staff at the UNC Hospital in Hillsborough, and I have been serving in the outpatient oncology clinic since Spring 2015. In my professional scholarship, I have been an advocate for standardization to promote efficiency and reduce errors- I developed and published a checklist to this end for chemotherapy, and the paper won an award from the Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice as one of their best articles of the year. My pharmacy experience and familiarity with Orange County have well-prepared me for this position. I currently work with a vulnerable population of oncology/hematology patients, many who are from the more rural areas of Orange County. I spent five years building cancer treatment pathways, which included collaborative decision-making on a team of health professionals and communicating that information out to a large network of providers. In my current position, I co-chair a policy committee with nurses, pharmacists, and physicians across the UNC-Health Network. I have experience writing agendas and moderating meetings. 6 Page 2 of 2 Brian Crandell Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: My family has lived in Orange County Oust outside the Hillsborough town limits) since 2008. Recently, I have been looking at opportunities to get more involved in service within Orange County. When Ms. Deyo brought to my attention that she would be leaving her position, I realized the Board of Health would be an excellent match for my skills and provide an opportunity to promote beneficial health policies across the County. These last few months have shown us how necessary it is to react quickly to changing health scenarios and of the need to prepare for situations like this. I like the idea of collaborating with the diverse team on the Board of Health to tackle such issues. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: As an oncology pharmacist, one thing that I encounter daily is the high cost of medical care and its stress on patients who are already in a difficult situation. The solution to this requires better access to life-extending treatment without unexpected costs as well as evidence-based policy and practice to ensure the responsible use of funds. Public health funds are always limited, and it is important to me to use money in a way that most directly improves the health of residents of Orange County and those that are most vulnerable. I also have a personal interest in access to healthcare for young children. As a foster parent, have encountered several kids whose families were simply unable to access necessary medical and dental care. In many cases, the services would have been available at no financial cost to the families, but the parents/caregivers were still not able to get care.

City Limits Sex: Female 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: 17 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.

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.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: 21 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.

Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: Conflict of Interest: 29 Page 2 of 2 David Singer Commission for the Environment Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I studied environmental law and served as an environmental attorney from 2005-2007. Toward that end, issues impacting the environment and social responsibility have been an interest of mine during my professional career. I am also an avid outdoorsman and spend as much time as I can enjoying our environment. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I d like to use my experience and education to serve our community and work to strengthen the environmental stewardship of the County. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I am fortunate in to have lived and worked as a practicing attorney throughout the eastern United States in both urban and rural communities; having lived in Vermont, Western New York, throughout the Washington D.C. and Baltimore, MD metro areas, and currently reside in Chapel Hill. These experiences, I feel, give me a unique ability to appreciate the diversity of viewpoints arising from the Chapel Hill community, particularly as they relate to differing viewpoints from individuals and businesses with diverse racial, gender and socio-economic backgrounds. Just as important as it is to bring a diversity of viewpoints, it is important to be able to understand how differing viewpoints are formulated from community members and how these different viewpoints can be analyzed before decisions are made or actions taken. Toward that end, my experience as a litigation and regulatory attorney have provided me with the tools to engage in civil discussion, critical thinking and thoughtful decision making by reviewing and evaluating diverse viewpoints and, when necessary, amicably resolve disputes. I was trained and practiced for many years as an Environmental Attorney and believe I can bring a diversity of viewpoints on environmental conservation and stewardship that I have acquired representing national and multi-national companies in a variety of environmental issues and counseling those companies in environmental rules, laws and statutes. Topics such as water conservation, urban development and land use management are areas of particular interest and with which I have had exposure during my career. Currently, I work as a corporate attorney for a 174 year old international agriculture company with deep roots in North Carolina and as such, I have a profound appreciation for the agriculture industry that serves as the backbone of North Carolina's diverse heritage. This will enable me to truly appreciate a diversity of viewpoints on many issues facing the North Carolina community.

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. 35 Page 2 of 2 Amy Weil 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.
