Background

On January 1, 2023, the Health District integrated into County operations and became the Snohomish County Health Department. With that came the re-creation of the Board of Health under the County. This board is comprised of nine members, including four public members representing public health, health care facilities, healthcare providers, and a consumer of public health.

 

Lisa George was appointed to the Community Stakeholder position for a 1-year term ending December 31, 2023 (Exhibit A). The 1-year term was assigned to establish a staggered rotation within the community voices members.

 

In compliance with SCC 2.300.120, Ms. George is eligible for a second term of four years in length. Recommendations will be forwarded to County Executive for consideration and potential County Council re-appointment.
