BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Detention Health Services Division expanded its program services for detainees/clients in all five (5) Contra Costa County detention facilities due to the results of Contra Costa County’s Medical Remedial Plan. The Martinez Detention Facility (MDF) was remodeled and now has improved physical space so there can be additional examination rooms to address and provide health services to the detainees/clients. With this improved space, the Division can focus on their need to create a Detention Administrative Infrastructure in order to support this expansion of services, which is currently non-existent. The Division requests to add a full-time Dentist – Exempt position to perform varied dental procedures in the Martinez Detention Facility (MDF) and at the West County Detention Facility (WCDF) to build their infrastructure and provide the required program services for detainees/clients in a timely manner.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, Detention Health Services will lack the operational structure it needs to provide efficient medical care to detainees/patients and will not fulfill the County's Medical Remedial Plan needs.
