In our region this is being accomplished through <br />the Area Health Commission of the Houston-Galveston Area Council. Sub-area <br />councils are being established within the region to provide a means of <br />"grass roots" involvement. <br />• <br />Your city lies within the southeast Harris County sub.-area. Membership of <br />the sub-area health councils (maximum 35, minimum 9) will be determined as <br />follows: <br />Members shall be appointed in the following manner: <br />The membership of the sub-area health council shall be appointed <br />by action of the Area Health Commission from among a list of <br />nominees. Prior to the appointment of an individual to a sub- <br />area council the Area Health Commission shall give special con- <br />sideration to recommendations made by members of the Area Health <br />Commission and H-GAC Executive Committee. Additional nominees <br />shall be solicited from other elected officials and organizations <br />in the service planning area with a demonstrated interest in <br />health. Individuals not nominated by any of the above means may <br />nominate themselves provided they have the written endorsement of <br />at least 25 other persons. <br />Would you please bring this matter to the attention of your City Council and <br />pass along to me the names of persons (either consumers or providers <br />of health services) which you or your council believe are particularly in- <br />terested in the health problems of this sub-area and who will be willing to <br />take the time to be active members of the sub-area health council. <br />There is no assurance that the Area Health Commission will appoint the people <br />• I recommend. However, I want to consider your suggestions before I make my <br />recommendations. In order to do this I need to receive your suggestions be- <br />fore August 1, 1978. <br />FAMILY LAW CENTER • 1115 CONGRESS AVENUE • HOUSTON,TEXAS 77002 • 713-221-6111 <br />
