SUBJECT: Approval of Grant Award Agreement ^
#28-729-1 from the Avon Foundation
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION _
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Wendel Brunner, M.D.), to
accept on behalf of the County Grant Award Agreement #28-729-1, in an amount not to exceed
$250,000 from the Avon Foundation, for the Patient Navigator Program, for the period from
September 1, 2006 through August 31, 2007.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Grant Award Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $250,000 for the Patient
Navigator Program. (No County funds are required)
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOIVIMENDATION(S):
The Patient Navigator Program is working in collaboration with Contra Costa Health Services
(CCHS) Cancer Program, Community clinics and other organizations that provide services to
women with breast cancer, and advocate services for low income underserved women to obtain
breast health care. The Patient Navigator Program performs outreach in the community through
classes on breast health and other health related subjects, and by participating in health fairs
throughout Contra Costa County. Contra Costa County has many women who do not access breast
cancer early detection and treatment because of cultural and immigration concerns, and also
because they are unaware that Contra Costa Health Services provides this type of care. The goal of
this program is to increase the level of service and the number of patients being screened for breast
cancer. With the interventions provided by the Patient Navigator Program, the outcomes for the
community-would be that women are screened for breast cancer,that breast cancer is diagnosed at
earlier stages, and due to early diagnosis that treatment outcomes increase survival rates.
Three sealed and certified copies of the Board should be returned to the Contracts and Grants
Unit.
