The Clark County Public Health Advisory Council is a 20-member volunteer body that makes recommendations to Clark County Councilors who also serve as the county’s Board of Health.

The advisory council helps protects the community’s health by preventing disease, responding to health threats, and reducing health disparities. The advisory council’s top priorities are addressing adverse childhood experiences, community health improvement planning, and support for healthy children.

Council Committee 1 recently interviewed three candidates for one full-term position and recommends the nomination of Christine Dunbar. This nomination would then be brought before the Board of Health to be fully appointed to the Clark County Public Health Advisory Council.
