Call For Nominations
HOW
THIS AFFECTS YOU
Health Advisory Councils function as a key
component of the
Parkland Regional Health Authority’s (PRHA) public consultation process. They are one important mechanism used by the
Region for ongoing community input. Advisory
Councils assist the PRHA in its planning and
decision-making
processes regarding population health, health needs and priorities, and
health
services of the Region.
A
NEW
APPROACH
The PRHA Board has redeveloped its model for Advisory
Councils. Under the new model, one
Advisory Council will encompass the entire Region, and one will have a
dedicated ‘Mental Health’ focus. Councils
will advise the Board on key strategic priorities and relevant
community
issues, thereby assisting in improving the health status of the
population.
GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Health Advisory Council members will be expected to commit
to a constructive and collaborative approach to providing community
input in
support of policy and planning. Members are expected to be
knowledgeable about
their community and aware of community-based health issues
MEMBERSHIP
Each Health Advisory Council will have up to 15
members. When making appointments, the
PRHA Board will, to the greatest extent possible, ensure membership is
representative of the diversity of our large geographic area. The membership base will also reflect a
variety of sectors, health partners and health stakeholders.
