Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board
With my multifaceted background, I can contribute significantly to advancing social services
initiatives and improving our community well-being. As a nursing student, I have gained a solid
foundation in community health, and worked with social workers and case managers to connect
patients with community based resources. I have planned and implemented evidenced based
interventions for diverse communities. I have organized sustainable campaigns that empowered
individuals to make informed decisions. Engaged in fireside chat conversations with community
members to talk about homelessness, domestic violence, and exploitation of our aging
community members. As a domestic violence survivor myself, I knew that the only way that I
survived and thrived is because of the help and resources that I was connected to. I want to be
able to contribute the same to our community members.
I also volunteer as a postpartum doula to families and single parents that cans€TMt afford a
doula service after given birth. Connect them to accessible community resources for diapers,
food, baby clothing and many more. I offer the gift of time to these families &single birthing
persons, with the hope that they get sometime to do something for themselves (sleeping, take a
long bath, calling family and friends5€;..).

Board of Health
Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board
I am a public health professional with graduate degrees in public health (MPH and PhD). I bring
many years of experience working in public health organizations on issues including
surveillance, access to health care, tobacco and alcohol policy, vaccinations, and other health
promotion programs. I served as a community health planner and evaluator for a county based
public health agency and thus would bring practical experience in the field to the Board.
Additionally, I bring fiscal and programmatic oversight skills from leadership roles in public health
organizations and prior Board experiences.
Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board
I am deeply committed to ensuring that all members of our community are able to live healthy
lives and seek opportunities to bring my public health training and skills to volunteer roles within
the community. I previously served a partial term on the Board of Health and then fulfilled a term
on the Orange County Unified Transportation Board. My tenure on the OUTBoard provided me
with a much broader understanding of the OC planning department and transportation issues
which I would like bring back to the BOH. Since my term on the BOH, the health department has
played a lead role in addressing the COVID-19 epidemic. I am very interested in rejoining the
Board to assist in these efforts and efforts to build back and strengthen our health systems to
best serve our community as we (hopefully) move out of the pandemic phase.
How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints?
I would bring public health knowledge and experience to the BOH and experience working with
and serving in a wide diversity of communities in the United States and internationally.

I am broadening my community involvement following graduation from nursing school in

I want to serve on this board because I am interested in working upstream from the ED. I want to

these facilities in our ED, where they are removed from the facilities where they originate. I wish
to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this system of care by working on this
committee.

I provide perspective as a practicing nurse in an ED with geriatric certification.

Board of Health
Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board
My background is in public service, food access, and healthcare. I began my career as an
AmeriCorps volunteer in a rural county in western North Carolina. I spent two years there
expanding the reach of the farmers markets, equipping the markets to accept SNAP benefits,
and supporting local farmers. I continued in the vein of public service and food systems by
similarly embedding myself in Orange County as the Assistant Manager and Food Outreach
Coordinator at the Carrboro Farmers Market. I built partnerships to expand the reach of the
farmers market to the greater community and bolster our access programs. During this time, I
also served on the Orange County Food Council and was co-facilitator of the Food Access
Working Group. While this work was tangential to public health, I saw nursing as a concrete
foundation which I could build an impactful career. I attended nursing school at The Johns
Hopkins School of Nursing, ultimately achieving a Masters of Science in Nursing AE" Entry into
Nursing degree. This degree enabled me to accept my current role as Clinical Nurse in the UNC
Hospitals Hillsborough Campus Emergency Department. This experience is critical to
understanding first-hand the experiences of the sick and vulnerable in our community. I believe
this background, education, and experience is relevant to service on the Board of Health.
Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board
I hope to leverage my work at the bedside to impact policy and public health on a broader level. I
believe that serving on this board would compliment my work at the bedside, and I am excited to
re-engage with the Orange County community and contribute to its health and wellbeing.
How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints?
I have a variety of interests and experiences that would contribute to the board, and if I am not
mistaken, I would be the only practicing nurse on the Board of Health.
Do you have any personal or business interest(s)that could create a conflict of interest
(either real or perceived) if you are appointed to this board?

Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board
I have been practicing medicine (cardiology, geriatrics, internal medicine)for the past 33 yrs in
Orange County. I served on the faculty at UNC Sch000f Medicine for 20+ years including 5
years on the admissions committee. Prior to retiring from private practice I worked with the OC
Dept on Aging on the OC MAP. Following my retirement from private practice cardiology in 2017
1 joined Piedmont Health Services and worked in the PACE programs for 5 years before being
asked to create an Employee Health &Wellness Clinic. In this position I have had the
opportunity to work on some of the many policies in place pertaining to Employee Health &

I think that as a physician who has spent her entire medical career here in Orange County I have
had the opportunity to see how our population has grown and changed over the past 33 years.
My medical experience has included some of the wealthiest and most prominent members of
our community(while in private practice) and some of the poorest (through my work with our
PACE programs which consist primarily dual eligible, frail older citizens). As an older, gay
woman I feel that I would help this board to address health issues unique to the LGBTQ+
community.

Board of Health
Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board
I am a board-certified specialist in dental public health. Earlier in my career I practiced dentistry
in neighborhood health centers in Boston. I am the Rozier Douglass Distinguished Professor of
Dental Public Health at the UNC Adams School of Dentistry and Gillings School of Global Public
Health. I am a former dean (2011-2016) of the UNC Adams School of Dentistry.
Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board
I have served in leadership positions in national dental organizations and feel it is time to give
back to my community to improve the public s health and oral health. I have talked to other
dentists who have served on this and other NC County Boards of Health and they all say it is a
very worthwhile experience.
How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints?
Oral health is an often overlooked part of the body. However, research continues to show the
strong connections between oral health and other systemic conditions. My research over the
years has focused on disease prevention and oral health disparities, initially in children and more
recently in older adults (e.g., relationship between tooth loss and cognitive decline, loneliness
31
Page 2 of 2 Jane Weintraub
and social isolation). I have written about social determinants of health and am currently
engaged in a project that combines mobile dentistry with teledentistry.
