DUNCAN SEEKS APPLICANTS

     County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill seven vacancies 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
providers and three consumers are eligible to apply for reappointments.  One provider
vacancy is for an unexpired term ending July, 1998. 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 encouraged 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
