Health & Hospitals System Committee Meeting March 16, 2021 Following two public comments urging that additional vaccination sites be set up in the western and southern suburbs, coincidentally, the presentations by both the Department of Emergency Management & Regional Security and the Department of Public Health (“DPH”) focused on the criteria that has been used in establishing County-sponsored vaccination sites in the suburbs and how this is changing. Both Departments acknowledged the need to provide more vaccination opportunities in the southern and western suburbs and said that they expect, with the promised increase in vaccination doses, to be able to do so.

Public Hearing September 26, 2019 This hearing was requested by the Cook County Board of Commissioners to note and understand discrepancies between the Inspector General (IG) Report and the rebuttal of Cook County Health (CCH) and the firm—Deloitte—hired by CCH to analyze the Inspector General's Report. The IG Report generally stated that CCH’s insurance program, County Care, was unsustainable and was being subsidized by Cook County taxpayers. The IG report looked at ALL of the CCH finances, not just County Care. CCH disputed this and hired Deloitte to analyze the IG report —mainly the viability of County Care—and report to the Cook County Board. Deloitte did NOT do an audit as this was done previously by another division at the firm. It also only looked at County Care and not all of CCH. There was a lot of confusion by the Board on what was being stated by both the IG Office and Deloitte. Mainly this was because of the Accounting Systems used by CCH and the various ways accounts receivable, payable, assets, etc. can be interpreted. All parties are looking at the financials and cash flow differently. The main question of the Cook County Board was “Do we have any concerns about the stability and viability of CCH?” Here are the basic findings as this Observer understood them: Inspector General Report
