BACKGROUND:
On July 7, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #72-026-6 with Capuchino Therapy Group (formerly ISIS Healthcare Services, Inc.) for the provision of temporary physical and occupational therapists to fill staff vacancies during peak loads, temporary absences, and emergency situations, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
Approval of Contract #72-026-7 will allow Capuchino Therapy Group to continue to provide temporary physical and occupational therapists at County’s Public Health CCS Program, MTU sites through June 30, 2017, including changes to County’s Standard General Condition paragraph, 19. Insurance.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, patients requiring physical and occupational therapists at County’s Public Health CCS, Program, MTU sites, will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the overall levels of service to the community.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”.
