SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept and acknowledge $30, 500 from John Muir Medical Center for
injury prevention efforts by the Health Services Department
Prevention Program. Janiece Nolan, Chief Operating Officer, will
make the presentation for John Muir Medical Center; Bill Walker,
M.D. of the Health Services Department, and Larry Cohen of the
Prevention Program will accept.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
NONE; revenue will be offset by corresponding expenditure for
Health Education Specialist position to perform duties related to
purpose of the donation.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
In the two previous fiscal years the John Muir Medical Center,
designated as the regional trauma center, has contributed $30, 500.
to the Prevention Program. One responsibility of a regional trauma
center is to conduct injury prevention. This contribution is made
to permit the Program to conduct these efforts on behalf of the
trauma center. Previous contributions have funded increased injury
data and surveillance collection efforts and expansion of violence
prevention efforts into West and Central County. This fiscal year,
childhood injury prevention efforts will expand to reduce morbidity
and mortality among child passengers of motor vehicles and to
develop training materials for home safety. As in previous years,
the Prevention Program efforts will also include the development of
funding streams to continue the efforts begun with this seed money.
