Approve the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Amendment 6 between Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health and Social Services for additional funding in the amount of $47,331 for Ebola and Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response for the period of April 1, 2015 through August 30, 2016.
Background:
With the recent activity regarding travelers to the United States in need of follow up monitoring due to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the Arizona Department of Health Services is offering additional grant money to CHSS Emergency Preparedness Program to ensure Cochise County's operational readiness, effective health response efforts, and continued collaboration within Arizona's healthcare system for Ebola and other Infectious Diseases response.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Will begin to address opportunities to improve preparedness capabilities within Cochise County for Ebola and other Infectious Diseases and collaborate with State and other County partners in preparation and response activities.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Will not be able to improve preparedness for Ebola and other Infectious Diseases with current grant funding limitations.
