County
Subject:Acceptance of Grant Agreements with Kaiser Permanente
County will receive the Grant Funds and when the grants requirements are met, the County
will transfer the funds to Doctors Medical Center.
BACKGROUND:
These Grant Agreements from Kaiser Permanente will allow Doctors Medical Center to
conduct a regional planning effort to address the needs of vulnerable populations in West
Contra Costa County and redesign clinical services to improve patient care and support the
long-term financial viability of health care services in the region.
Doctors Medical Center San Pablo (DMC) is the largest full service acute care hospital
serving 250,000 people in the western portion of Contra Costa County, part of the East Bay
area of Northern California. With more than 40,000 Emergency Department visits annually,
DMC provides essential emergency and medical services to a community where a large
proportion of residents are uninsured, underinsured or Medi-Cal beneficiaries. The median
household income in San Pablo is the lowest of any city in the West County and is below
the State median.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the grant will result in a loss of $4.2 million in funding for Doctors
Medical Center. This loss of funding would lead to a reduction in health care services.
