DATE'. November 5, 1986 C`"'"t7
SUBJECT: Approval of Submission of Funding Application #29-337 to the State Department
of Health Services for Comprehensive Perinatal Services for Low, Income Women
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the County, Funding
Application 4429-337 for submission to the State Department of Health Services in
the amount of $30,000 for the period December 1, 1986 - June 30, 1987 for compre-
hensive perinatal services for low income women.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this agreement by the State will result in $30,000 of State funding for
comprehensive perinatal services for low income women. Sources of funding are as
follows:
State Department of Health Services $ 30,000
County Share: Personnel $ 241212
Mileage 2,000
Space 6,261
Overhead 8,787
41,260
TOTAL PROGRAM $ 71,260
Personnel costs are for currently employed Health Services Department staff.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Increasing numbers of Contra Costa women, particularly in East and West County, are
.not receiving perinatal care, or begin care in the seventh or eighth months of
pregnancy. Lack of funds to pay for care is invariably cited as the reason for
late or no perinatal care. This application for a new project requests State
funding to provide comprehensive perinatal services to 50 low income, non-MediCal
eligible women (mainly migrant agricultural workers) for the seven-month period
from December 1, 1986 through June 30, 1987. The women will be enrolled in County
Health Services perinatal clinics, initially in the two East County clinics,
followed by the clinic in West County. They will receive comprehensive care
including nutrition, health education and psychosocial assessment, an inter-
disciplinary care plan, and at least three educational intervention sessions.

In preparation for becoming a Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program provider
under AB 3021 Margolin, the Department has formed a Perinatal Consultant Team to
plan, develop, and evaluate the County's perinatal services . The Department will
implement the requirements for this project in conjunction with Margolin implemen-
tation, the goal being to establish one unified comprehensive perinatal care ser-
vice for all patients regardless of their source of payment.
This document has been approved by the Department's Contracts and Grants
Administrator in accordance with the guidelines approved by the Board's Order of
December 1, 1981 (Guidelines for contract preparation and processing, Health
Services Department) .
In order to meet the State's deadline for submission, draft copies of this applica-
tion have already been forwarded to the State, but subject to Board approval. The
Board Chairman should sign four copies of the application, three of which should
then be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit for submission to the State
Department of Health Services.
