S. Department of Health and Human Services (Health Resources & Services Administration) BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) Mobile Medical vehicles to expand HSD’s School Based Health Care Services in Contra Costa County. The school districts currently being served are Mt. Diablo Unified, Pittsburg Unified and West Contra Costa Unified. The two (2) additional Mobile Medical vehicles will enable the number of school sites receiving the health care services in these districts to be expanded. Approval of Grant agreement #28-346 will allow funding to support the Affordable Care Act (ACA) grants for the County’s Public Health School-based Health Centers Capital Program through June 30, 2013. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this contract is not approved County will not have the funds to purchase the additional Mobile Medical vehicles, there will be no expansion of mobile medical services to school sites not currently being served which will prevent the opportunity for increased health care access to school aged children. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: HSD’s School Based Health Center program provides services to school aged children at school sites that serve predominantly low income families. Working collaboratively with the three large school districts in Contra Costa County a number of additional school sites, and the children attending school at those sites, will have increased access to health care services.
