Meeting Date: September 15, 2020
Action Agenda
Item No. 11-a
SUBJECT: Appointments to the Cardinal Innovations Community Advisory Council
DEPARTMENT: County Manager
ATTACHMENT(S):
Applications from Interested Individuals
INFORMATION CONTACT:
Travis Myren, 919-245-2308
PURPOSE: To approve appointees to the Cardinal Innovations Community Advisory Council.
BACKGROUND: In late 2019, Cardinal Innovations Healthcare, the designated Managed Care
Organization (MCO) for Orange County, began to restructure how regional and community
needs and issues are communicated to the Cardinal Innovations Board of Directors.
The restructuring involved broadening the membership of the existing regional Community
Boards to create Regional Health Councils. Orange County is part of the Central Regional
Health Council along with Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, and Person counties. Regional Health
Councils are responsible for developing and approving the Regional Health Assessment and
Regional Health Improvement Plan, providing input on Community Reinvestment Initiative
projects, and creating a unified approach to advising the Cardinal Innovations Board of Directors
on operations and services in the region. The members of the Regional Health Councils are
appointed by the Cardinal Innovations Board of Directors.
The restructuring effort also broadened the membership of the existing Community Partners
advisory board to create Community Advisory Councils which are unique to each County. The
Community Advisory Councils are responsible for serving as a conduit for residents to ask
questions and raise concerns about services provided by Cardinal Innovations and to provide a
link back to the community to aid in achieving each Regional Health Council’s visions and
guiding principles. Community Advisory Council members are appointed by the Board of
County Commissioners.
Cardinal Innovations opened and managed an online application process for Community
Advisory Council members. Twelve applications were received, and Cardinal Innovations has
requested action by the Board of Commissioners to appoint nine individuals. The application
materials for each of the applicants is attached.

See my answers above on why I want to serve which includes my qualifications. I also bring the perspective as
an Army brat of the needs of veterans and their children as well. My 84 year old father put in 20 years and
receives benefits. I do think having lived in other states, such as Hawaii, Utah, California, Maryland and Hawaii
adds to appreciation for looking for models and examples outside of NC as well. Here's my education history:

Work Experience:
Worked with children from K- 12 with different needs. First job was with young adults who had committed
crimes and were living in a contained school. It’s focus was education and emotional control. Then I worked
with young children with severe cognitive disabilities. These children lived in foster group homes, but were
educated in the public school, this was in Compton CA. The classes moved to another area outside of LA,
where I continued as a classroom teacher with the same population. My next employment was with the
recreational department of Pasadena CA where I worked helping with life and social skills in a day treatment
program for adults. In Chapel Hill I worked in a self contained classroom for elementary age children with
autism. This classroom was at a public school and children were mainstreamed for classes as determined by
their IEPs. I then switched into a position as a autism support consultant for autistic children in the regular
education program. This position was designed to support the students, teachers and parents. I served K-9
and also supported pre-school students when needed. I retired in 2018.

What do you feel qualifies you for the Community Advisory Council (CAC)?
My years of working with young adults and children has given me an opportunity to see what works and what
needs still exist. The information flow/ support for immigrants and people with less economic means is not a
cohesive system, leaving them unaware of the supports that do exist. My years working in the school system
also exposed weak to non-existent support for mental health issues. This area of need seems to have
increased without a plan for how to obtain services, or enough well planned effective services. As we see
throughout this country our inability to effectively address these needs has substantial costs to our society. We
can often identify children needing help at a young age, but without resources there is little we can do to truly
help. My knowledge of the holes that exist and ideas of how we can help support these children and their
families is why I wish to be on the CAC.

What do you feel qualifies you for the Community Advisory Council (CAC)?
Since there was not an exhaustive list given of qualifications to join the council, I can only say that I want to
contribute in any way I can (help with decision-making within the county, advocacy for underrepresented
groups, thoughtful consideration of changes within the county). I can lend an ear, voice my opinions, help with
any financial or budgetary considerations, etc. I have known neighbors within the county that have struggled
with re-entry, with adequate housing, with senior services, with healthcare, and knowing their stories might
help me to contribute and add to the richness of the conversations.

area for at least 15 years. I am familiar with existing service definitions. I am invested in this community and
want to be a part of the process looking towards improving services for community members to make sure that
gaps in service delivery and addressed and filled with appropriate services and supports. I'm interested in
system level changes as well and would like to see how the community can advocate with Cardinal at the State
