The Committee believes that the nominee, Ms. Julie R. Yoruw, has the necessary skills and experience, and strongly recommends she be confirmed as the State of Yap representative for the MiCare Board of Directors.

Your Committee held a hearing on August 15, 2015 with the Administrator of MiCare, members of the current MiCare Board of Directors, however, the nominee, due to the short notice of this hearing was unable to attend.
The MiCare Administrator stated that in order to ensure quality oversight and guidance for MiCare it welcomed Ms. Yoruw as a nominee as she has had a thirty- year career serving the citizens of Yap State in education and health.

Ms. Yoruw is currently the Chief of Public Health for the Department of Health Services in Yap State.

The MiCare Administrator and members of their Board stated that Ms. Yoruw is aware of the many current issues challenging MiCare and being a member of the Board would be an asset in moving the program forward with her specialized skill and knowledge Your Committee has not received any subsequent communication from any individual or organization that would cast doubt on the performance or integrity of this nominee.
Further your Committee defers to the President, Yap State Governor and MiCare as to the decision to put forward this nominee.
