RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #23-651-2 with Health Career Connection, Inc., a corporation, to provide public health and healthcare interns, not to exceed $7,500 per intern, and cumulative payments over $90,000 per annual term, for professional educational experience in health care management practices at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), Contra Costa Health Centers, and Health Services Administration to benefit County patients for the period from April 1, 2022 until terminated by either party.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $90,000 annually and is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

This internship program between Health Career Connection, Inc. and the County is intended as a professional educational experience for the contractor’s public health and healthcare interns. It is anticipated and expected that Interns will be assigned projects and assignments that are vocational in nature and that interns will perform assignments that are beneficial and necessary to the mission of helping patients. The contractor has recruited a number of students to participate in the internship program at County facilities, including CCRMC, Contra Costa Health Centers, and Health Services Administrative offices. Interns shall be placed with the County for ten weeks, during which time they shall participate in health care management and other intern activities under the training and supervision of the County.

Under Agreement #23-651-1, the contractor will provide public health and healthcare interns to the County who will obtain experience in health care management practices at CCRMC, Health Centers and Health Services Administration for the period April 1, 2022 until terminated by either party. This agreement includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not utilize the contractor’s public health and healthcare interns to gain professional educational experience and help County patients.
