Duncan Seeks Applicants
For Commission On Health

County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill six full-term vacancies and one partial-term vacancy on the Montgomery County Commission on Health. Four of the vacancies must be filled by provider representatives, and three vacancies must be filled by consumer representatives. Two consumer and three provider incumbents are eligible to apply for reappointment.

The commission consists of 19 voting members, representing a cross section of consumers and providers of health care. Persons with an interest or background in public health are encourage to apply.

The commission advises the County Executive and County Council on public health programs, services, and facilities, and comments on any gaps, deficiencies or duplication of efforts. The commission also comments on the local public health planning needs, area-wide institutional health services, and State of Maryland health-related issues where appropriate. The group reports each year to the Executive and Council on a variety of health issues.

Meetings are held the third Thursday evening of each month in Rockville. Members serve three-year terms without compensation.

Applicants should write by May 5 to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan at the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe St., Rockville, MD 20850. A letter and brief resume that describe personal interest, experience, affiliations and community involvement, as well as work and home phone numbers should be included. Members of County boards, committees and commissions may not serve on more than one such group at a time.

Duncan's appointments are subject to confirmation by the County Council. Applications of those selected for appointment are made public as part of the confirmation process.
