  1. Local Health Action Planning Coalition Structure (committees, workgroups and chairs)

The Lower Eastern Shore Tri-County Health Planning Board has been meeting on average three times a year since1993. It rotates meeting in each county and is hosted by the Health Planning Board Chairman for the county in which the meeting is taking place. Both Tri-County groups that are working on the two T-CHIP priorities, the Tri-County Diabetes Alliance and the Tri-County Healthy Weight Coalition, report on their activities at the meetings of the Tri-County Health Planning Board.

Staff work with appropriate members to draft position papers and other documents as needed. Each county has one vote. The county boards use majority of a quorum to decide what their position will be on the Tri-county questions.
