The following items, which may be considered as a Health Care Advisory Board (HCAB) "Scope of Work," have been developed for organizational purposes as a guide for members and staff. For convenience it has been organized in terms of (1) annual activities, (2) ongoing or recurring activities, (3) and (4) special activities, and (5) liaison and coordination activities. The categories 1-3 describe activities which occur at the specific direction of the Board of Supervisors either through specific communication or mandate and category 4 describes those special projects or programs in which the HCAB has taken a proactive role relative to an issue(s) which impacts the County and about which the HCAB feels the Board of Supervisors should be aware. The items listed in the five categories may overlap and should not be considered mutually exclusive.

The purpose of the HCAB is to assist the Board of Supervisors in the development of health policy for the County and to advise the Board on health and health related issues.
