Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Amendment No. 2 to IGA# ADHS14-071556, STD Services, between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health and Social Services, changing the contract expiration date to December 31, 2018.
Background:
Cochise Health and Social Services (CHSS) has received funds from the ADHS for many years to provide screening, laboratory testing, treatment, and follow-up for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) primarily Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis. The funding changed in January of 2014 and ADHS no longer funds testing for or treatment of STDs but funds the county to educate providers and assist in reporting and tracking clients with STDs in the county. Through this contract CHSS is funded to educate providers in our county regarding STD treatment and services available and to track and report STDs within the county.
These grant funds primarily subsidize the cost for tracking and following all people testing positive for STDs within the county. General Funded nursing staff continues to provide testing and treatment services based on a sliding fee schedule.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approval is respectfully requested to continue to provide STD testing and counseling services to constituents of Cochise County.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Not approving this amendment would increase impact on General Funds, may cause the inability of CHSS to collect for the cost associated with STD tracking and reporting services and the costs associated with educating county providers from the ADHS; and could cause cessation of this important public health service to the community.
