RE: 01~ANGE COUNTY HEALTH PLANNING COUNCIL
Dear Ms. Wynn:
In August 1981 I was honored to be appointed as the representative of the
City of Tustin to the Orange County HealtkPlanning Council. This letter
is intended to Serve asa report to date.
In October 1981 I attended the 10thAnniversary Celebration of the Orange
County Healtk Planning Council at Turtle Rock Community Park:.~in-Ir~in~'.
The key note speaker of ~e evening was Stan Matek, Executive Director of
the Health Planning~Co~ncil. A reactor panel of former.counciI Presidents
added insight when discussing "Th~ New Economic In Orange County Health
CareSy~tem! The. empire strikes back?"
On November 24 I attended the assembly of Delegates, which included the
election of Assemblymem~ers. (Ursula Kennedy was re-elected as an "at
large" Assembly member). Following election the film "Medi-$ense" was
shown and a discussion followed of reasons~or rise of health carecosts.
and ways to deal witkthese costs.
On April 13, 1982 I attended the Assembly del~/tes meeting at the Orange
Dental Society Building in Orange, Again medical~']-- care costs setting all
time records were discussed. "How to cut down on HealthCosts"! was
also discussed with a move toward self-insured*~companies~' higher deductibles
and.limits on length and amount of care~ .'
The need for continuinqh~aIthplanning in the community becomes more
apparent as health care co~ts escalate.
I would be happy to provide more specific 6r detailed information upon
request and will be pteasedto continue to serve as your representative.

SUBJECT: Reconfirmation of Assembly Appointments
Dear Ms. Winn:
The Bylaws of the Orange County Health Planning Council (OCHPC) require that each
year we solicit in writing the reconfirmation of all appointment~ to the Assembly
of Delegates. The Bylaws do not limit the length of time for which any organi-
zation may choose to have its representative serve in the Assembly. Our records
show that your current representative to the Assembly is Phyllis Turtle. If
you would like to have your current delegate continue, please reconfirm the
appointment in writing NO LATER THAN AUGUST 16, 1982.
The Bylaws also provide for an alternate delegate to attend'Assembly meetings and
vote in the absence of your appointee. Our records indicate that Bonnie Gillman
has been appointed as your alternate delegate. Please let us know if this is
not correct.
An Assembly delegate acts as the liaison between your city council and OCHPC,
informing each body of the issues and concerns of the other. Delegates meet four
times a year - once to elect our Board of Directors and the rest to participate
in programs dealing with community health .issues.
The OCHPC is the agency which oversees projected medical needs of Orange County
residents, as well as the allocation of health care resources to meet those needs.
As you may know, the Assembly is a body of almost 150 participants, representing
every city of Orange County, the Southern California Association of Governments,
the League of California Cities, the Board of Supervisors, voluntary health agencies,
professional healtk associations, and community organizations such as the United Way.
We are enclosing a summary of the major accomplishments and issues addressed by the
Council during the past two years, a brief description of the agency, anda li~ting ..
of OCHPC publications. Gina Ryan, our Director of Community Services, would be
happy to meet with you to answer any questions you may have about the Council and
its programs.
Cordi al ly yours, .
