1) MAPP 2.0 Launch Event: Mark is in Denver at the invitation of and funded by NACCHO (National Association of County and City Health Officials) to launch the revised Community Health Improvement Planning tool MAPP 2.0. Mark has been working with NACCHO since 2017 on the revamp of the MAPP tool but COVID-19 delayed its release. However, this new tool was adapted by and was the foundation for how LCHD/CHC conducted its most recent Lake County Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) that the Governing Council made very positive comments about.
2) The HMA Consulting Services contract for LCHD's transition from Fee for Service to Value-Based Care was approved by the Board of Health on June 28, 2023. Kim will be working with HMA this week to start work group meetings to fully complete the approved scope of work by the end of March 2024.
3) FY24 LCHD/CHC Draft Budget: Thanks to the hard work of the LCHD/CHC finance team and all program managers, the draft FY24 LCHD/CHC budget was submitted on-time to the Lake County Administrator's office for their initial review. Overall, the budget is very similar to our tax levy request last year with the merit increase built in as was started by the County last fiscal year.
