Board Chair Executive Report - Jonathan Landsman
The Executive Committee met on August 4, 2021 It was attended by Vice-Chair & Chair of the Policy committee – Dr. Sarah Guadalupe, Secretary – Adam Fuhrman, and Chair of the Business Operations Committees – Eric Lindemier. Also attending was our CEO – Dana Lasenby, CLO – Calla Ollie, and Sheila Barrett, our Administrative Assistant. Board Member Ms. Malkia Neuman also attended.
We met, discussed, and set the Agendas for the August Committee of the Whole meeting, The Regular or General Board Meeting, and the Study Session, including “Stories that Inspire”, and the current COVID-19 & COVID Vaccine Situation.
- ·Our Lobbyist’s efforts to setup meetings for Dana with various members of the State House & Senate.
- ·The Dana’s experience at the Medicaid Health Plan Conference
- ·What Can Board Members (and the public do) - Advocating Efforts defending our Public Option
- ·These 3 items will be on the Committee of the Whole.
- ·Budget Amendment #3 – this item will also be on the Committee of the Whole, but also as an action item at the August General Board meeting.
With more people now being out in public it seems to make sense to bring back our Anti-Stigma Series – BEST – Begin Ending Stigma Today as another recuring topic of our General Board Meetings.
With this being August, as usual, there will be a Study Session, on Thursday 26th. The Topic will be OCHN’s Fiscal 2022 budget. Board Approval of the Fiscal Year 2022 budget will be an action item at the September General Board Meeting.
Policy Management Committee Chair Report - Dr. Sarah Guadalupe
Dr. Guadalupe provided an overview of the quarterly update provided by OCHN’s Quality Management Team Marquitta Massey and Wendy Schiller

2. MDHHS Contract Compliance:
3. Home and Community Based Services Update (written report)
4. Performance Bonus Incentive (Presentation)
5. Performance Indicator Update (Presentation)
Which protects and promotes quality service delivery.
All individuals served, the provider community, and the community at large benefit from the attainment of the goal areas in the OCHN Annual/Strategic Plan. This is because the Annual Plan was developed based on feedback obtained through the OCHN Needs Assessment where persons served, and other stakeholders were asked to provide input on desired focus areas for improvement/opportunities for OCHN..
