REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND: For many years, the County has maintained a contractual relationship with the Martinez Veterans Administration Medical Center, through a mutual sharing agreement, which has made available to the County specialized medical services not available at Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics due to lack of resources, equipment, and personnel. At the present time the Veterans Administration is providing services such as nuclear medicine studies, specialized laboratory testing, cardiology, dermatology, and opthalmology. The Contract documents have always been prepared by the Veterans Administration.
