The RCA board
determined that some issues that would be
coordinated by a town government should be reviewed to see what
activities RCA could begin work on, independent of its work on
governance. The issues included:
Determine
the availability of grants to develop high-technology based
community healthcare improvements, including telemedicine,
that may allow a greater level of independence for the elderly
population and less stressful care for the pediatric and other
populations receiving care, and that may lead to reductions in
the long-term cost of healthcare
Work
with the Reston healthcare and high-technology communities to
develop proposals and pursue any available grants
