    ANCBH: Projects and Research Community-based blood pressure screening, education, and referral program The American Heart Association and the Association of North Carolina Boards of Health (ANCBH) established in September 2022 a community-based blood pressure screening, education, and referral program in collaboration with local health departments in Guilford and Forsyth counties (Triad) to provide cardiovascular self-management options due to the lack of community education and wellness centers in communities. This effort addresses access to health promotion and cardiovascular disease prevention. Read more about this successful project that deployed trained Lay Health Advisors and site leaders utilizing evidence-based practices and programs to assist with educating participants on health and wellness for improving health. Nurse conference Public Health Nurses Conference - Our Nurses, Our Future: You Make a Difference ANCBH saw the clear need to celebrate and acknowledge the work of Public Health Nurses in NC. Nurses from all public health departments in North Carolina were invited for a day of teaching, training, celebration, fun, and fellowship. More than 200 public health nurses attended the conference on May 5, 2023 in Greensboro. Public Health nurses throughout NC have been heavy-lifters during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly from 2020 through 2022, yet continuing even now. Many nurses have experienced long work hours, new duties, challenging responsibilities, family interruptions, stress, threats, and even burnout. We determined that one way of showing nurses that we are aware and empathetic to their recent plight is to sponsor this one-day “get away” motivational event addressing career mental and emotional health. The key message of resilience and growth was addressed by multiple speakers, interactive exercises, and role-play in break-out sessions over the course of the day. One highlight of the conference was “Stories from the Field: How I Survived the Pandemic as a Public Health Nurse” presented by a panel of 4 nurses. View the program agenda , photos, and sponsors o f this conference. This program was offered through a collaboration between the Association of North Carolina Boards of Health, the North Carolina Association of Public Health Nurse Administrators, the North Carolina Public Health Association, and the Office of the Chief Public Health Nurse/Public Health Nurse Institute for Continuing Excellence.

In the rapidly evolving world of public health, therapeutics, and law, the accuracy of some information may be time-limited. Readers should confirm all information and opinions before making decisions. Q&A Category Dear "Ask the Expert" Our county has a dilemma with replacing the Nurse member on our Board of Health (We assume the actions you will advise will fit any licensed professional required by the NCGS, but our situation just happens to involve the Nurse member): The BOH nurse representative is coming off our BOH effective relatively soon. Another candidate has been suggested to replace this position. This candidate retired several years ago but was a Registered nurse for decades. Since her retirement, she has not maintained her license. Is she eligible to be a BOH nurse representative because of her years of experience in the community even if she does not currently hold a license? NEW! G.S. 130A-35, which governs appointments to a county’s appointed board of health (BOH), assigns one BOH seat to a “registered nurse” (hereinafter “RN”). RN is a licensure status under G.S. 90, Article 9A (the Nursing Practice Act). It would therefore seem that if someone is no longer licensed by the North Carolina Board of Nursing, they cannot be an RN. (It may be worth confirming this, however, with the Board of Nursing). Therefore, someone who has historically worked as an RN, but who is no longer licensed does not meet the criteria for appointment to the RN seat on the BOH. In some situations, it may be challenging to identify a specific type of licensed professional who is a resident of the county and available and willing to serve on the BOH. The law governing membership of a county BOH (G.S. 130A-35) allows the board of county commissioners to appoint a member of the public if there’s a seat that is meant to be held by a professional but there isn’t a professional available and willing to serve. You could, under those provisions, appoint a retired, no-longer-licensed nurse to the RN seat and describe them as a member of the public who’s been appointed to that professional seat in the absence of a licensed professional who is available to fill it. Ultimately, that person’s experience and expertise could still be of great use to the BOH- particularly if there isn’t anyone else who is actively licensed in that area and willing to be on the BOH. However, that person (i.e., your no-longer-licensed nurse) could only hold the seat until someone who does more clearly meet the statutory criteria comes along and is willing to fill that professional seat on the board. It is good practice to continue to actively recruit for someone who does meet the statute’s requirement (here, an RN) to serve on the BOH while your member of the public (the no-longer-licensed nurse) fills the seat in the interim. -Kirsten Leloudis, JD, MPH, UNC School of Government) Archive 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. 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.

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. 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.

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). 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 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.
