HEALTH PROGRAM ASSISTANT
RESOLUTION #08-263
WHEREAS, the Ingham Health Plan Corporation contracts with the Health Department to screen and enroll low-income uninsured Ingham County residents into Ingham Health Plan’s coverage program; and
WHEREAS, the community need for health coverage has led to a significant increase in the applicants and enrollees in the Ingham Health Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Registration and Enrollment Unit of the Health Department carries out the screening and enrollment obligations of the contract; and
WHEREAS, to fulfill the community need and screen all applicants requires additional staff; and

WHEREAS, the Health Officer recommends that the Board of Commissioners authorize the creation of a half-time Health Program Assistant in the Registration and Enrollment Unit.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes the creation of a half-time Health Program Assistant in the Registration and Enrollment Unit (UAW Grade C).
