BSU Professor Named To Community House Advisory Committee

Uwe Reischl, M.D., has been appointed to the City of Boise Community House advisory committee. The 12-member board includes representatives from the Boise City Council, city management and the community. Its purpose is to advise the mayor on matters pertaining to the future management of the Community House homeless shelter.

Reischl, a professor of health sciences and director of the Center for Health Policy at Boise State University, chaired an ad-hoc advisory committee in 2004 that developed new ideas and suggestions on Community House for the mayor. The new committee represents the next step in structuring a long-term strategy for providing important services to the homeless population in Boise. Recommendations for the future management of Community House are expected relatively soon
 

Boise State continues to expand its partnership with Boise in addressing important social, economic and environmental challenges, and faculty and students represent a valuable community resource in this undertaking.
