RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (William Walker, MD) to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #23–453 with Planned Parenthood, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $300,000, to provide primary medical care services for low income uninsured residents of Contra Costa County, for the period from May 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% County’s General Fund Reserves.
BACKGROUND:
On April 21, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved modifications to the County’s Basic Health Care (BHC) program. The Board also approved $1.5 million in County reserve funds to be used for a contract with the community clinics including Brookside Community Health Center, La Clinica de la Raza, and Planned Parenthood. This will allow the community clinics to provide these primary medical care services to residents affected by the change in the County’s BHC Program.
