RE: For Review


I am fine with what you captured below. A good majority of the information was for the education of the commissioners and to a lesser degree, the county manager.

Thank you.

Linda Clements

The meeting article is so long, I didn't go into great detail on the DSS report, but feel free to add to it.

 

I think I got the stuff right about Kristy, and the drug savings, but check me. Thanks y'all!

 

 

• The bi-monthly meeting of the Alexander County Consolidated Human Services Board meeting followed the regular meeting of the board of commissioners. 

 

Linda Clements, Assistant Director of DSS, provided updates on numerous topics, including flood survivor support, Adult Medicaid audit, Medicaid Transformation 2021, Family-Children Protection and Accountability Act, and Families First Prevention Act. Clements also presented information from the Annual Child Protection Report and COVID Impact Report. 

 

Leeanne Whisnant reported that Kristy Hunt, Assistant Director of the Alexander Senior Center, was named the Western Region Volunteer of the Year by the NC Department of Insurance’s Seniors Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP). Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey is scheduled to present the award on January 25 in Alexander County. 

 

Whisnant also reported that the senior center helped 389 senior citizens save $903,703 in Medicare drug costs in 2020.
