Board of Health agent Marina Lent said the Board wanted to bring to your attention that we are reinstating our public nursing program. Ms. Lent said that the board is encouraged we finally have a contract started with Island Health care do the local outreach we have been trying to implement fully in our community. Ms. Lent gave an outline of the decrease to the budget line that was intended for the service. The VNA of Cape Cod since 2007 was not reaching the level of service we had intended and in 2016 we decreased the budget. Ms. Lent said we will only contract for the amount of funding we currently have but if the service is what we have hoped for we intend to raise budget line back up to the full-service level. this would be an estimated increase of $3,243.00.
Discussion ensued. Chairman Hannemann said Chilmark services get overshadowed by other groups; this program needs more local awareness. Ms. Lent said there will be a falling prevention workshop / education. Chairman Hannemann recommended a report of what Chilmark Board of Health is doing so when we hear from all of the services during budget season we can plug any holes in our services for Chilmark.
At 5:30 PM with no further topics for discussion Ms. Divoll moved to adjourn. Mr. Carroll seconded the motion. SO VOTED: 6 Ayes, 1 not present
