BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board (PEHAB) is a 19-member board appointed by the Board of Supervisors since 1986 to advise the Health Services Department on community needs. This community-oriented Board seeks diverse representation from throughout Contra Costa County and includes community members in the following representative categories: seniors, children/schools, business/industry, environmental organizations, labor and consumers. We also have local professionals representing local voluntary agencies, the medical provider community, and immigrant populations. These representatives provide broad community knowledge and a wealth of experience and expertise in the health and environmental fields.

PEHAB’s mission is to identify community health needs and to make recommendations to the Health Services Department on how to address these needs. In order to accomplish this, PEHAB strives to anticipate emerging public health issues and advocates for policies, services, and programs that will improve the community’s health.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The seat will not be available to be filled by a new candidate.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
