Michelle - Add in our core
values represented groups that are underrepresented
such as LGBTQ, Veterans and Tribal members. She
will write up the language. Beth clarifies that
Michelle wants the LGBTQ, Veteran and Tribal
communities to be added under core values. Because
not everyone can name the groups that are
marginalized. Nancy suggested that they are
statements out there that would include all groups
- special segments.

Mental Health Month -
Messages in various languages for the community.
What are our current language needs for Curry
County? We currently don't "trigger" need for help
by OHA due to low numbers collected. Beth has a
resource for languages and translation documents,
there is also an App that can translate - this
hasn't been used yet. Look at what we present to
the community as far as several languages. Tolowa
dee-ni' nation gathering at food banks, there are
several languages just related to Native Americans
on the west coast.

Beth, Opioid dashboard - Our
county shows no data for overdose in county. Not
being reported is not helping. Poor data collection
for county. Connie interjected - VA does collect
data and will share with local folks the manner if
doing so. Opioid addiction in Vets, chronic pain
management not being treated properly. Appropriate
medical intervention needed. Others agreed there
was poor data collection, even in Native Americans.
Why low data collection? Even our birth rate is of
for the last 12 years. This is being done
differently by each agency, possibility they are
shipped out.

Gordon asking for any other
suggestions use data services to help guide. Beth
suggested to bring info back to the group, based on
our own business/agencies use. Take the data that
this committee gathers and then is shared to the
community as a whole. Michelle recommends to share
the data gathered in a way the public can
understand. A moving/grouping document to change as
we learn.
