Board seeks applications for two Oakland Community Health Network vacancies

The Oakland County Board of Commissioners is seeking applications to fill two partial vacancies on the Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) Board. The board is accepting applications for one member of the general public to serve the remainder of a three-year term ending March 31, 2023, and one person representing an agency that has a working involvement with mental health services to serve the remainder of a three-year term ending March 31, 2022.

A link to the application can be found at https://bit.ly/OCHNAcc21. The deadline to apply for these openings is 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 21. 

The OCHN leads a provider service network that assists approximately 23,000 Oakland County citizens at more than 300 sites across the county. The organization’s goal is to ensure that those who receive public mental health services through OCHN's provider network are aware of and have access to support that will improve their health and quality of life.

To qualify, applicants must be residents of Oakland County. Those chosen for an OCHN Board position will receive $90 per diem and county allowance for mileage reimbursement. Members will attend all relevant meetings.

The OCHN meeting schedule is as follows:

  • Committee of the Whole - Full Board participates at 4:30 p.m. on the second Monday of the month 
  • General Board meeting - Full Board participates at 6 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month
