UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Community Health Partnership presentation by Karen Bullock, CEO, and Paul Cook,
Program Director. Ms. Bullock said the Partnership Program integrated Medicare, Medicaid,
and the Home and Community -Based Waiver Programs in a single health plan, with
coordinated coverage for everything from day -to -day clinic visits and home health care to
hospital and nursing home. The program currently serves persons in Dunn, Chippewa, and
Eau Claire counties. Its target populations are the elderly and younger adults with long term
care needs. It is a consumer oriented private not - for - profit corporation organized as a
managed health care provider. The services available through this program would be in
addition to the current county administered waiver programs. The Partnership Program would
like to expand into St. Croix and Pierce Counties, but this will not happen without strong local
support and cooperation from county government. Viewed video, followed by handouts. This
video is available for viewing. Lengthy discussion regarding program, the pros and cons.
Discussion to continue at next meeting.
