This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing a broad range of mental health services to children and adults in Central County. This Contract is a part of the System of Care and contributes to County’s compliance with Mental Health regulations.
On July 8, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-469, with Pathways to Wellness Medication Clinic, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 with a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015 for the provision of children’s and adult mental health services.

Approval of Contract #74-469-1 will allow Contractor to continue providing children’s and adult mental health services through December 31, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: (CONT'D)

If this contract is not approved, County’s clients will not have access to Contractor’s services resulting in reduced levels of service to the community.
