The Selection Committee

The Selection Committee for the Citizens Commission
on the Future of Health Care in Martin County

The purpose of the committee is to identify panelists who would be called upon to speak to their expertise on the current health care conditions facing Martin County and the region.

The Health Care Panel Project's goal is to stimulate a two fold conversation,

Part One a discussion before the public among the diverse health care community professionals, engaged in health care delivery along with interested public officials who would also share their perspectives on Medical Care Delivery in Martin County.

Part Two would open these discussions to public participation providing a forum for their perspective and questions on these same issues.

The result would be a REPORT of the Committee on The Status of Health Care in Martin County 2009.

This report might assist public officials and health care professionals and planners better achieve a comprehensive perspective on the current issues and hopefully illuminate what future lies ahead. Maybe our cumulative wisdom would surface some useful and productive ideas.

This is a NON-PARTISAN PANEL and will hope earnestly that people with a wide range of political opinion might participate. I hope you can assist by participating on our panel of electors and make candid recommendations for panelists. Our panel of electors will select, the panelists by secret ballot.

Most of our communication can be electronic and we anticipate no more than two meetings will be required of our selection committee. i will circulate among those who agree to participate, an excel file that we can all annotate our accumulating recommendations for proposed panelists.

I hope we can select approximately 10-20 panelists who would be prepared to make a 10 minute presentation and then participate in discussions among the panelists on day one, and with the public on day two of the Public Forums.

It is my hope that we can bring the panel together for preliminary discussions by the end of March and have our Public Presentations by April or May at the latest.

I hope we can raise issues that because of their illumination can guide County, State and Federal representatives. Can this help guide discussions of America's Health Care Future? I hope so, and by providing a forum for these discussions, we can be part of the evolution of Health Care Services accessible to our fellow citizens.

I hope you will consider participating as an elector and help select panelists for these forums. I want your help, and need your wisdom. If you cannot participate maybe you can recommend someone as an elector - please let me know.

Thank you for your time - We can make this a better world
