This committee has provided a great service to the region by identifying those needs and administering grants to local non-profit organizations. Our district is dedicated to continuous improvement and, as part of that effort, the Tri-City Healthcare District Board of Directors has recently reviewed the purpose and principles of the MCO committee. As a result of this review it was recommended that the committee undergo some changes. The Board took action at its January 12 meeting to restructure the MCO Committee. As a result, the name has been changed to the Community Healthcare Alliance (CHA) Committee. The new committee's statement of purpose and key principles are enclosed, as well as the revisions to the membership criteria. As a result, the composition of this committee will be changing in some ways. One of the most significant changes is the creation of a seat to represent the seniors in each of the cities in the Tri-City area. This representative for your district could be the chair of your Senior Commission a commission member or a staff member. Please give some thought to selecting the most appropriate person for this committee. We welcome you or your designee as a member of the Community Healthcare Alliance Committee; your insight into the needs and resources of the community will be a valuable asset. Jeff Segall and Kelli Moors on our Public Affairs staff will be contacting you soon with information about the group's meeting schedule. RoseMarie V. Reno Chair, Board of Directors Tri-City Healthcare District ' EXHIBIT 2 Tri-City Healthcare District Community Healthcare Alliance Committee Statement of Purpose The purpose of the Community Healthcare Alliance Committee is to: 1. Advise the Tri-City Healthcare District Board of Directors and Tri-City Medical Center Administration of opportunities to reach out to residents of our District with services, programs, or facilities that meet demonstrated health-related needs and result in measurable improvement in the health status of our community. 2. Develop a sense of ownership and connection between the District and the Community. Provide the District and Medical Center with feedback and dialogue about Medical Center operations, long-range planning and the healthcare needs of the community. 3. Provide community healthcare-related non-profit organizations with grant funding, as established annually by the Board of Director during the budgeting process, that supplement and complement the District's Mission of "advancing the health and wellness of those we serve". Key Principles 1. Healthcare-related needs are defined broadly and are not limited to those addressed only by healthcare facilities and providers. 2. The District should drive its outreach efforts based on the needs of the consumers who reside within the boundaries of the District. 3. There are limited human and capital resources with which to meet the unlimited healthcare needs of the population in the District. 4. An annual plan and budget, within the District's Strategic Plan and budget, should be established that contains prioritization of the needs to be addressed. 5. Targeted activities should be measurable and regularly reported. 6. At times the District may act alone to address community needs within the District, and at times it may collaborate with others. 7. The Community Healthcare Alliance Committee should effectively interface between the TCHD Board of Directors and Administration. 1-12-11 , EXHIBIT 2 Tri-City Healthcare District Community Healthcare Alliance Committee Membership Criteria January 12, 2011 Residency Requirement • Members representing an organization do not have to live in the Tri-City Healthcare District, but the organization represented must serve residents in one or more of the three cities in the District. • For members representing the community-at-large, they must be District residents residing in Oceanside, Carlsbad, or Vista.
