Supporting public health providers and students effectively deliver the 10 Essential Public Health Services Advocacy See the Resolutions tab for specific ANCBH Advocacy actions Public Health Advocacy The following is adapted from an article written by Robert R. Blackburn. Health board members must embrace public health if we are to serve the people and be strong positive public health advocates. Many definitions of advocacy exist ranging from speaking or writing in favor of some thing to building relationships which change attitudes that bring about desired behavior. A simple way to define advocacy is to get the right information, to the right people at the right time, to get the public health message across. Where do we advocate? The old saying, “All politics is local” is certainly true as it applies to boards of health. As a local board of health member, we are advocates in our local community for public health. We must be advocates to our county commissioners, all local public elected officials and to the general public. We have the opportunity to be advocates on the state level on laws, regulations, and legislation impacting public health. We have the same opportunities on the national level. ANCBH will work to keep you informed on all the above issues. Being an effective advocate includes five basic concepts. Be factual, honest, and knowledgeable about your subject. Be clear, concise and concrete with your message. You, rather than someone else, must frame the issue. Cheerful persistence-we are promoting public health for the long haul. Don¹t forget to follow up and say thank you. To deal with the multi-faceted issues we face in the public health arena, we must find other groups and persons who are committed as well. They may be friends, partners, coalitions, collaborators, or others we will be working with to help us achieve our goals. Remember - “Every Where. Every Day. Every Body.” Some key national advocacy friends and groups include: National Association of Local Boards of Health (NALBOH) – the non-profit, national organization of boards of health to prepare and strengthen boards, and empower boards to promote and protect the health of their communities through education, training, and technical assistance American Heart Association (AHA) – a non-profit organization to reduce disability and death from cardiovascular diseases and stroke American Public Health Association (APHA) – the oldest and largest organization of public health professionals in the world, representing more than 50,000 members from over 50 occupations of public health National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) – the non-profit, national organization representing the nation’s approximately 3,000 local health departments (including city, county, metro, district, and tribal agencies). Some key state-level advocacy friends or groups include: The three-organizations confluence of: NC Association of Local Health Directors – A non-profit organization of North Carolina health directors to promote health, prevent disease, protect the environment in order to ensure the public's health in North Carolina through leadership, vision, advocacy, and commitment to the principles of public health practice in our local communities and throughout the state. NC Public Health Association – A non-profit organization to promote public health and healthy lifestyles in North Carolina. NC Alliance of Public Health Agencies – A non-profit partnership organization of health departments and county-owned home health agencies to provide and implement innovative strategies and solutions to achieve goals of public health. NC Alliance for Health – A non-profit, independent, statewide coalition of individuals, businesses and public, private, professional and nonprofit organizations working together to advocate for health improvement policies before North Carolina's legislative and executive branches. NC American Heart Association. NC Healthy Schools, Department of Health and Human Services/Division of Public Health and Department of Public Instruction - The goal of North Carolina Healthy Schools is to create a working infrastructure between education and health to enable schools and communities to create a Coordinated School Health Program. NC Prevention Partners (NCPP) – A non-profit organization, working with more than 1,500 partners across the state to improve the health of all North Carolinians.

Public Health "Every Where, Every Day, Every Body" The Three Core Functions of Public Health: The Job of the Local Board of Health In 1988, the Institute of Medicine issued The Future of Public Health report which stated that America’s public health system was in disarray. The Institute’s panel recommended new governmental functions at federal, state and local levels to strengthen our nation’s public health system. Localities, they said, should reestablish boards of health or “public health councils” to assess public health needs, develop public health policy, and assure that public health services are available. It is these three core functions – assess, address, and assure – that constitute the job of the local board of health. Assess: To scan, weigh and balance community needs, resources, statistics and politics. Address: To determine a course of action; to set targets, to allocate resources, to make policy and assign responsibility. Assure: To make certain that progress is made Adapted from Assess, Address, Assure: Manual for North Carolina’s Local Health Boards. Copyright 1993 – Association of North Carolina Boards of Health. The Ten Essential Public Health Services The 10 Essential Public Health Services provide a framework for public health to protect and promote the health of all people in all communities. To achieve equity, the Essential Public Health Services actively promote policies, systems, and overall community conditions that enable optimal health for all and seek to remove systemic and structural barriers that have resulted in health inequities. Such barriers include poverty, racism, gender discrimination, ableism, and other forms of oppression. Everyone should have a fair and just opportunity to achieve optimal health and well-being. Assess and monitor population health status, factors that influence health, and community needs and assets Investigate, diagnose, and address health problems and hazards affecting the population Communicate effectively to inform and educate people about health, factors that influence it, and how to improve it Strengthen, support, and mobilize communities and partnerships to improve health Create, champion, and implement policies, plans, and laws that impact health Utilize legal and regulatory actions designed to improve and protect the public’s health Assure an effective system that enables equitable access to the individual services and care needed to be healthy Build and support a diverse and skilled public health workforce Improve and innovate public health functions through ongoing evaluation, research, and continuous quality improvement Build and maintain a strong organizational infrastructure for public health References: 1.

History of Public Health in North Carolina The State Archives of North Carolina preserves and provides public access to historically significant archival materials related to North Carolina. Archived files trace the history of the Department of Health and Human Services beginning with a reference to “an act of the 1755 Assembly ordering quarantine on vessels" and concluding with the 1990s. As referenced in the The Eighteenth Biennial Report of the North Carolina State Board of Health : "In the seventies Dr. Thomas Fanning Wood of Wilmington, caught the vision of the possibilities of public health work to North Carolina. How fully he grasped the far-reaching consequences of his idea, how clearly he saw the ever-growing hosts of lives saved as a result of his vision and inspiration, we shall never know. We do know that the vision never left him, and that under its sway he worked, through the Medical Journal which he edited and through the North Carolina State Medical Society, until his influence reached the people of the State in their General Assembly of 1877, with the effect that on February 12, 1877, the North Carolina State Board of Health was born. Ours was the twelfth State board of health to be established". The county boards of health were composed of the affiliated county medical societies and were under the direction of the State Board of Health. The intent was to create a uniform system of health and sanitation throughout the state. But “the General Assembly appropriated only one hundred dollars to establish this health system; and the existence of the State Board of Health was nominal.” Additional excerpts from this history: “In 1899 the General Assembly passed additional legislation to protect public water supplies from contamination, and the State Board of Health was charged with instructing local health boards and water company inspectors on the procedures for sampling and inspection.” “… in 1911 the General Assembly recognized the State Board of Health as the state's medical adviser …. The state board was also required to issue bulletins statewide in the event of a dangerous outbreak of disease.” “In 1917 the General Assembly also charged the state board with responsibility for the sanitary conditions and the hygienic care of prisoners in state prisons, local jails, county prison camps, and all other places of confinement…. .” “In 1931 the dental care program was established as a separate Division of Oral Hygiene and expanded its efforts to educate the public preventive dental care. In the early 1930s the Division of Preventive Medicine took responsibility for school health services, health education and information, and maternal and child health services. Later in the decade, they initiated a nutrition program offering consultation services to local health departments, schools, and other institutions requesting services.” “… in 1945, the General Assembly instructed the state board to initiate a program related to the prevention and cure of cancer, with emphasis on the early detection and treatment of cancers. Under terms of the law, the board was to provide a system of financial aid for low-income cancer patients; establish minimum standards for cancer clinics or departments in general hospitals; collect information on cancer and sponsor an educational program for citizens; and compile and preserve statistical, clinical, and other records relating to cancer prevention and cure. … “In 1949 the last remaining county established a full-time health department." “In 1963 the General Assembly created a new Department of Mental Health, transferring to that department the services previously performed by the Division of Local Health and its Mental Health Section. Other laws during the same period significantly increased the state board's responsibilities. In 1961 the legislature provided for the licensing of nursing homes by the State Board of Health rather than by the Medical Care Commission and the State Board of Public Welfare. The 1963 General Assembly gave the state board responsibility for a program of air pollution control, although they failed to fund it. In 1965 Governor Dan K. Moore designated the State Board of Health as the official state agency to administer Title XVIII of U.S. Public Law 89-97, commonly referred to as Medicare. The Office of Chief Medical Examiner and a Division of Medical Examiner were created in 1967 …." “Under the 1973 act, the Commission for Health Services was granted the power and duty to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of the state's public health programs, to protect and promote public health, and to control diseases and other health impairments. … Furthermore, the law stipulated that local health departments, when directed by the DHR, would enforce rules established by the Commission for Health Services and that DHR would supervise the local health departments." “New programs in place by the early 1990s included the Office of Chief Nurse, charged with coordinating public health nursing services with local health departments and statewide programs; the Office of Health Education, charged with providing various services and developing teaching strategies for environmental, community, and personal health programs; and the Office of Legislative Affairs to represent the department in the General Assembly and to monitor proposed legislation and the work of the legislative study and research committees." As it relates to Public Health, the State Archives collection includes links to a large searchable collection of digitized original documents , dated 1879 – 1973, including the Bulletin of the North Carolina Board of Health and Biennial Reports of the North Carolina State Board of Health.

Q&A Category Legal Ask an Expert: Who is the official Chair for the different governance models of Boards of Health (BOHs) in North Carolina? All “traditional” boards of health (county BOHs, district BOHs, and hospital authority BOHs) are required by state statute to elect a chair on an annual basis. The BOH must have a quorum of BOH members in order to elect a chair and only BOH members can vote (the county manager, for example, would not get to vote). Anyone on the BOH can be elected by their BOH colleagues to serve as chair. Additionally, some BOHs elect a vice-chair who can step in if the chair isn’t available for some reason- but having a vice-chair is entirely optional and is not required by state law. For consolidated human services agencies, the county government has chosen to bring social services and at least one other human services agency (often, but not always, public health), under one roof- thereby collapsing them into a single county agency. The governing board that is then created mirrors this setup and instead of having a separate BOH and DSS boards, you’d have a single consolidated human services (CHS) board that includes representatives from the DSS and public health worlds, as well as members of the public. Under state law, the CHS board, just like a “traditional” BOH, must elect a chair every year- and the chair could be anyone on the CHS board who is properly elected by a majority of their fellow CHS board members at a meeting of the CHS board where there is a quorum present. Finally, there’s the question of who is considered the “chair” if the board of county commissioners (BOCC) dissolves the “traditional” BOH or the CHS board and takes on their functions. It sounds like in some counties where the BOCC serves as the board of health (or the CHS board, in the case of a county with a consolidated human services agency), the perception is that the BOCC’s role as the BOH is separate from the existence/other work of the BOCC. For example, it sounds like in some counties, the BOCC adjourns and then reconvenes (essentially holding an entirely separate meeting) to take up any public health related matters. When the BOCC serves as the BOH (or the CHS board), the “chair” is the same person who was elected to serve as chair of the BOCC under G.S. 153A-39. There is no legal basis for electing a different chair who takes over the gavel only when the BOCC takes up public health related matters. Finally, when the BOCC serves as the BOH, they are required to appoint an advisory committee on public health. There is no law directing the advisory committee to elect a chair, though they could certainly do so. Because the advisory committee is solely advisory in nature, the duties and powers of the chair of the advisory committee would be limited to things like scheduling the advisory committee meetings, and running those meetings.

Note: Answered for the ANCBH BOH Chair Network Working Group on February 3, 2024 Ask an Expert: Does the County Commissioner on the BOH have full voting rights on matters being considered by the board. The board will be sending a recommendation regarding a specific issue to the BOCC for their vote. The question is whether the BOCC member must abstain from voting on the BOH due to the fact that the BOCC will address the same issue at their next meeting? This question is about the role of the county commissioner who also sits ex officio on the board of health. A county commissioner can vote to take action on a recommendation that the board of health (which includes that same county commissioner) made to the commissioners. The fact that the county commissioner serves on both the board of health and board of commissioners does not create a conflict that would require the commissioner to recuse themselves from voting on the recommendation in this situation. For consolidated human services agencies, the county government has chosen to bring social services and at least one other human services agency (often, but not always, public health), under one roof- thereby collapsing them into a single county agency.

Note: Answered September 2024 Can Board of Health members use virtual meeting platforms such as Zoom or Teams for attending board meetings or when discussing budget amendments? Has there been any specific guidance from the state on this issue? Generally, remote meetings held through virtual platforms like Zoom or Teams or over the phone are allowed under NC law. However, you may want to check your board of health policies and other local policies to ensure they don’t prohibit these types of meetings. A meeting that you hold in this manner also needs to be noticed (just like any other board of health meeting) in accordance with NC open meeting laws. If the board holds a meeting using teleconference or other electronic means, the open meetings law requires the board to provide “a location and means whereby members of the public may listen to the meeting.” The board must specify that location information in the notice of the board meeting. At a minimum, this means the board must provide an online meeting link or teleconference information to the public in advance of the meeting. The open meetings law does not require the board to provide any way for members of the public to speak to or communicate with the board during a remote meeting. In other words, members of the public must be able to hear the board meeting, but the board does not have to provide a method for the public to contribute to the board meeting. However, a board may want to provide a way for members of the public to speak during remote meetings if the board has decided (in its own rules of procedure) to routinely allow public comment periods during its meetings. If in your county the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) serves as the board of health, then there’s one additional wrinkle that’s important to be aware of and that comes from a recent Court of Appeals decision in State of North Carolina v. Anson County. In the past, it was unclear whether or not members of a BOCC who join an official meeting remotely can be counted towards the board’s quorum for the purpose of the board being able to take official action. However, this past summer, the Court of Appeals addressed this question head on and determined that members who join remotely can’t be counted towards the quorum - which means that if your entire meeting is held virtually (rather than in-person), then there’s no quorum, which could inhibit the board from taking official action. This case clearly applies to situations where the BOCC serves as the board of health. Appointed boards of health do not appear to be directly impacted by the court’s decision, it is possible that the court could apply similar analysis to future cases involving a board of health. Kristina Wilson, Assistant Professor of Public Law and Government, UNC School of Government has written about this decision and its implications here: https://canons.sog.unc.edu/2024/08/the-court-of-appeals-addresses-emergency-meetings-and-remote-quorum/. One suggestion she makes is that a BOCC could try to ensure that at least enough members to constitute a quorum show up to the meeting in person so that the board can feel more secure about being able to take official action. (Other members could join remotely, but just wouldn’t be counted towards the quorum). In special situations, your board may also have a workaround for this entire issue: the Court of Appeals specified that board members who aren’t physically present at the meeting but join remotely can be counted towards the quorum if the meeting is being held during a state of emergency declared by the legislature or the governor. If the BOCC (acting as the board of health) does hold entirely remote meetings during the state of emergency, you also need to ensure that you meet the requirements set out at G.S. 166A-19.24 (e.g., if someone is joining by phone rather than video call, they need to announce their name anytime they speak or vote).

Email - kirsten@sog.unc.edu Note: Answered for the ANCBH BOH Governance Network. Revisions posted December 11, 2024 I have an incoming commissioner appointment. Does the commissioner seat require an oath of office? A county commissioner who is preparing to fill the county commissioner seat on a board of health should take an oath of office before the commissioner begins to exercise any of the powers or duties associated with their board of health role. Although a county commissioner has likely taken an oath of office already for their county commissioner position, that office and the board of health seat are arguably different public offices- and therefore, the cautious approach would be for the commissioner to take a separate oath of office for each role. If additional information is desired, please contact Kirsten E. Leloudis, JD at the School of Government at UNC Chapel Hill. Email - kirsten@sog.unc.edu Note: Answered for the ANCBH BOH Governance Network. Revisions posted January 5, 2025 A duly appointed Board of Health member would like to decline receiving a stipend for attending Board of Health Meetings. Is there anything preventing the Health Director (or county) from allowing them to decline the stipend? For an appointed county board of health, the the statute that applies regarding per diem and reimbursements is G.S. 130A-35. Paragraph (h) says “A member may receive a per diem in an amount established by the county board of commissioners (emphasis added).” Because the law says board members “may” receive a per diem- not that they “shall” receive it- I think it’s probably just fine if a particular board member declines to accept any per diem that is being offered to them. As a best practice and for good recordkeeping purposes, I’d recommend having the board member communicate in writing that they don’t want to receive the per diem (or any other reimbursements they may be entitled to, if that’s also the case). As always, you might also wish to run this by your county attorney, who might have additional insights to offer. f additional information is desired, please contact Kirsten E.
