Subject:West County Health Center, San Pablo area. Project No.: 4500-6X3101 (WH252A)
BACKGROUND:
The Richmond Health Center is in need of total replacement. Its functional design reflects
an outmoded approach to the delivery of healthcare.
The Health Services Department, in conjunction with the General Services Department,
has reviewed a variety of options over the last ten years to address these deficiencies.
Options reviewed included (1) remodeling on the existing site, (2) rebuilding on the
existing site, and (3) rebuilding elsewhere in Richmond (multiple locations were
evaluated). All of these options proved to be either too costly or not acceptable to the
community.
On August 6, 2009, on short notice and under considerable pressure of time, the Health
Services Department submitted a proposal to the federal Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) for the maximum funding available, $12 million, under the
Recovery Act Facilities Investment Program grant opportunity. On December 9, 2009,
we learned that we had been awarded the only grant of this size in California, and one of
only six of this size nationwide. The grant requires that the facility be constructed and
occupied within a two-year time period.
With first-hand knowledge of our site issues, and the desire to have the clinic resources
and jobs, the City of San Pablo has offered to sell to the County 2.7 acres to build the
West County Health Center in the City’s Redevelopment Zone. The City parcel is
immediately adjacent to the Doctors Medical Center Campus. The clinic will be located
approximately forty yards from the hospital campus.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not have the necessary land rights to allow for the construction of the
West County Health Center and parking for the visitors and employees that will use the
facility.
