RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) #76-779 with San Jose Mothers’ Milk Bank, a non-profit corporation, including limitation of liability, in an amount not to exceed $30,000, to provide donor milk services for infant patients at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this MOU will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $30,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers relies on contracts to provide necessary specialty health services to its patients. Mothers' Milk Bank will collect, screen, process and pasteurize donor human milk in accordance with standards approved by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America ( “HMBANA”) and in compliance with applicable state and federal law, and deliver the processed human milk to CCRMC. Donor human milk for qualifying infants provides optimum nutrition and health benefits and is vitally important for sick and preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units.

Under MOU #76-779, the contractor will provide donor milk services for infant patients at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. This agreement includes limitation of liability. In the event any claim arising from services provided by contractor, the total liability of contractor to County shall not exceed $1,000,000 per occurrence.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, infant patients requiring processed human breast milk will not have access to this contractor’s services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The recommendation supports the following children's outcome(s): (1) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; (2) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (3) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
