Board Order, Page 2
Program funds are used to provide interpreter services by trained bilingual Health
Aides to assist medical staff to provide needed health services to Contra Costa's
extensive refugee population (Southeast Asian, Afghanistan, Polish, Chinese, etc.) .
More than 600 refugees who needed health assessments entered this county during the
last year. The most serious health problem of refugees is tuberculosis . Public
Health Nurses, through home visits and clinic work, contact all newly arriving
refugees to ascertain health status, to arrange a health assessment, and to follow
up on referrals made for problems found.
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 the applica-
tion have already been forwarded to the State Department of Health Services, but
subject to Board approval. After approval, the Clerk of the Board should submit
six certified copies of the Board Order to the Contracts and Grants Unit for sub-
mission to the State Department of Health Services.
