The Fauquier Health Member Advisory Board
Board Members (left to right): Bill Gouldthorpe, Wilbur Heflin, LeAnn McCusker, Bruce Meisner, and Marvin Sheldon. Not Pictured: Donna Darconte
Formed on November 14, 2012, the Wellness Center Advisory Board goals are to improve the Wellness Center, to encourage new members and develop ideas to increase involvement of current members using the resources available. They are tasked with providing honest feedback to make the Wellness Center the best that it can be, and to help ensure that it remains financially viable as a resource for wellness in our community. The board has met twice and has already made several improvement recommendations that have been enacted. For example, supplying printed copies of the e-newsletter at the Wellness Center for those with limited electronic access and the grocery store tour mentioned below. Do you have an improvement idea? Please share your ideas with the staff, or contact an Advisory Board member directly.
