RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee, to submit funding application #28-825-6 to the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), in an amount not to exceed $15,000, for Contra Costa Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Non-Competitive Capacity Building Grant Project, for the period from January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016.  

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this funding application will result in a maximum amount of $15,000 from National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) to support the County’s Medical Reserve Corps Non-Competitive Capacity Building Grant Project. No County match required.









BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is housed under Contra Costa County’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS), which is part of Contra Costa County Health Services Department (HSD). CCMRC is part of the County's emergency planning and response system to address the need for additional medical professionals to respond to a medical surge event or an event such as those requiring the mass distribution of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the CCMRC participates in trainings, health fairs, flu clinics, first aid, and community service. The NACCHO award will provide funding to allow CCMRC to acquire medical supply cases and an assistant MRC Coordinator (to manage community/hospital outreach training).   
  
The funds will be used to provide continuous support to County’s MRC Non-Competitive Capacity Building Grant Project to enhance the Contra Costa Medical Reserve Corps unit through June 30, 2016.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this application is not accepted, the County’s Emergency Medical Services will not receive funding to support its Non-Competitive Capacity Building Grant Project to continue enhancement of the Medical Reserve Corps.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
