BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The proposed project involves the alteration/renovation of existing, unused rooms at Kennedy High School to create a
stationary health clinic, which will replace the more limited capacity mobile van clinic. The renovation will include
two exam rooms, a nursing room, a health education counseling room, bathroom, lab room, and a registration and
waiting area. Upon completion of the project, Contra Costa Health Services will operate up to 20 hours/week at
Kennedy High School, thereby expanding access to health care services among Kennedy High School students and
elementary school students co-located on the high school campus.
Approval of the Grant Award #28-844 will allow County to accept the funds from the United States Department of
Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, for West Contra Costa Unified School
District to renovate and upgrade rooms at Kennedy High School, to enhance the quality of care delivered to students
by Contra Costa Health Services, through November 30, 2014.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this award is not approved, the County will be unable to accept the funds which will permit the West Contra Costa
Unified School District to renovate unused rooms into a stationary health clinic for high school and elementary
school students.
