RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute Contract #74-469-3 with Pathways to Wellness Medication Clinic, a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $230,308 to provide children’s and adult mental health services for the period July 1, 2017 through October 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% County Realignment. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

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 the County’s compliance with Mental Health regulations.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 17, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-469-2, with Pathways to Wellness Medication Clinic, for the period January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 for the provision of children’s and adult mental health services.

Approval of Contract #74-469-3 will allow the contractor to continue providing children’s and adult mental health services through October 31, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County’s clients will not have access to the contractor’s services, resulting in reduced 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."
