RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #24-794-7(18) with St. Helena Hospital, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $75,000, to provide inpatient psychiatric hospital services for the period from October 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

On January 1, 1995, the DMH transferred these funds and the responsibility for authorization and funding of Medi-Cal acute psychiatric inpatient hospital services to counties that chose to participate in this program.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under Contract #24–794–7(18), the Contractor will provide inpatient psychiatric hospital services through June 30, 2019. This contract contains mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract.
