Tenet Corporation,owner and operator of the former Brookside Hospital, and which owns Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo,would like to donate this vehicle to the Contra Costa County Health Services Department as soon as possible, for insurance and liability reasons, and because they can no longer provide parking for the van at their San Pablo site. It is to the County's advantage to accept this vehicle to continue its use for Health on Wheels until the new mobile clinic for West County is ready. With ownership of this vehicle,we may also then utilize it in other parts of the County for mobile clinic services on an as needed basis. From a liability and insurance standpoint, it also would be preferable that the vehicle be registered and insured by the County, rather than by a third party. Fiscal Impact• Other than registration and insurance there is no fiscal impact.
