BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is reassigning the Mental Health Clinical Specialist position from Health Care For Homeless Program to the Whole Person Care Program to deliver services to vulnerable Medi-Care recipients and improve healthcare outcomes via coordinated health, behavioral health, and social services in a patient centered manner.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Whole Person Care Program will not have adequate level of staffing in the health centers which will negatively impact patient care services.
