Looking for Advisory Committee Members

For each of the needs assessments completed by Eastern Health, we have established an Advisory Committee, consisting of people who live in the area being assessed.  Here's the ad that is currently in the media:

Eastern Health is starting a community health needs assessment of the Discovery Zone region (Bonavista Peninsula to Port Blandford to Swift Current to Chapel Arm).

As part of the process, an Advisory Committee will be set up. This committee will be asked to give advice and feedback on the process and findings of the assessment.

We are looking for people to sit on the Advisory Committee who have an interest and experience in the “determinants of health”. The determinants of health are all the things that affect the health of a person or a community overall, such as employment and working conditions, child development, support networks, income, or the physical environment.

Applications must be received by February 5. To apply and for more information, please contact::  Lisa Browne, Eastern Health, Park Place, 50A Manitoba Dr, Clarenville, NL, A5A 1K5, needsassessment@easternhealth.ca

466-5863 (p) 466-6343 (f)

The purpose of the committee (and the role they’ve played during previous needs assessments) is to provide advice and feedback on the process that we use in the needs assessments. We also ask Advisory Committee participants to provide feedback on the findings of the needs assessment results.
