Council seeks Central Health board member

City Council is seeking qualified applicants for a position on the board of managers for Central Health, formerly known as the Travis County Healthcare District. Central Health works to create access to health care for uninsured, underinsured and low-income residents of Travis County, and the Council is looking for applicants who demonstrate a commitment to that mission in addition to meeting a list of other qualifications as well. The chosen applicant will serve a four-year term on the nine-member board beginning Jan. 1, 2016. Applicants must complete a Boards and Commissions application (either online or in person at the City Clerk’s Office), submit a resume describing their qualifications and write a statement of intent explaining why they want to serve on the board. The application deadline is Friday, Oct. 23 at 5 p.m.
