| | | Staff from the Health Department will present, "Care Programs for HIV and Implementation Process."
LaTanya Patton, Health Department, introduced Jody Frazier who is the Vice Chair of the Kansas City Eligible Metropolitan Area Comprehensive HIV Prevention and Care Planning Council and has the task of making sure that her department is in line with the council's wishes as it relates to prioritizing and also allocating funds for HIV related care. Ms. Patton distributed a folder with handouts about the council and available services. Ms. Patton stated that 37% of the current council represents consumers. She gave examples of how the consumers' input is a part of the prioritization and allocation of the funding. During the meeting, consumers have a chance to actually address the council and share any perspective that they may have on concerns or issues that directly impact them. They also do a annual needs assessment which is actually a client satisfaction survey. A thirty member Quality Assurance Council has also been created and is made up of consumers.
Jody Frazier stated that he has been involved with the process for over twenty years, off and on, and has become more involved in the last four years. He was elected a member of the Planning Council to fill one of the seats that are designated for the community. He calls his the "HUG "seat, the historically under served group. He described his learning experience and how his membership on the council has impacted him. Mr. Frazier stated he has established an office at the Health Department for Planning Council members. It has a reference and reading room for consumers and the community at large where they can gather materials that can help educate and perhaps encourage them to become more involved in the Planning Council process. Councilwoman Hermann and Councilman Nash commented in support of the Planning Council and about its importance to the community. |
