Subject:Contra Costa Future Fund Contract with Planned Parenthood
BACKGROUND:
Planned Parenthood: Shasta-Diablo (PPSD) proposes continuing its prenatal services in
three Contra Costa County PPSD health centers - Antioch, Richmond (Hilltop) and Concord
through December, 2009. This is six months beyond the current funding agreement with the
Contra Costa First Five Commission which has helped support this program since 2006.
Planned Parenthood hopes to fund the net deficit of this six month extension of services
through a combination of First 5 grant funds and Contra Costa Futures. The need for funds
is $225,000 for 6 months. This amount represents half of the First Five annual contract. The
purpose of these additional 6 months is three-fold:
1. Continue providing critically needed prenatal services in Contra Costa County to low
income women. These funds will continue care for individuals already in the program and
allow for 250 new pregnant women into the program.
2. Provide Contra Costa County Health Services Department additional time to review and
implement a collaborative agreement with PPSD for prenatal services. The next 1 - 3
months will reveal more information about the rapidly changing State budget to help assess
the impact on the County and PPSD which will allow Health Services to make a final
determination of the feasibility of the collaborative no later than September 30, 2009, with a
start date no later than December 31, 2009.
3. Give PPSD 3 months to responsibly down-size and ultimately close its prenatal program
if the county collaborative is deemed impossible. Other providers will need time to increase
what capacity they can as we transfer any remaining patients and communicate with future
patients their options for services.
Clearly, the possibility of a PPSD/CCCounty Health Services Collaborative makes this
short term investment worthwhile. It represents a longterm solution to maintain capacity,
continuity and diversity in the delivery of this critical, core prenatal healthcare service.
