Healthy Start Advisory Board  -

The Douglas County Healthy Start Advisory Board advises the local program, and reports to the Douglas County Commission on Children & Families (DCCF) its recommendations in planning, implementation, policies, and assessment of Healthy Start program services, and the role of Healthy Start in Douglas County’s local early childhood system of supports and services.  Each county is required to have a local Healthy Start Advisory Committee, which may be the local Early Childhood Team.

The Healthy Start Advisory Board has a wide range of skills and abilities and provides a heterogeneous mix of skills, strengths, community knowledge, professions, age, race, sex, gender, and ethnicity.  Membership includes direct representation by community members, including a representative of the medical profession, and program participants.  Healthy Start providers/contractors/staff may provide Healthy Start program information to the Healthy Start Advisory Board but may not participate in board decisions on advising the program or preparing reports to the DCCF.
