Agenda items

Commissioners are scheduled to consider approving a one-year agreement with the Department of Senior Services and the Salina Health Education Foundation for professional health services provided to seniors. The agreement would renew for additional years and can be canceled by either party with a 30-day notice. The program would provide services at no cost to the county as all services would be billed to the patron's insurance or would be covered by self-pay, according to information in the request for action from Senior Services.

Additionally, commissioners are scheduled to consider approving the 2023 vision for the county. The document is an update of the vision document for 2022. The document includes five key focus areas: county workforce, communication and outreach, working relationships, physical and economic community health, and service and infrastructure.
