Agenda Item Text:
Approve Amendment 2 to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) CTR055990, "COVID-19 Health Disparities," between the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and Cochise County Health and Social Services to reduce the budget per the ADHS price sheet through May 31, 2024.
Background:
IGA CTR055990 price sheet was originally set to $3,169,013. This Amendment reduces the budget to $2,838,934. We currently contract with the Arizona Regional Economic Development Foundation, Winchester Heights Community Center, Pinal Hispanic Counsel, Chiricahua Community Health Care Centers, Inc., Arizona Community Health Workers Association (AzCHOW), and University of Arizona’s Prevention Research Center and have a Memorandum of Understanding with the Good Neighbor Alliance. It also funds 3 FTE in the CCHSS who work with the unhoused population and administer the grant.
This funding has allowed us to build a robust Community Health Worker network in Cochise County. Combined, they have had positive impacts in over 15,000 interactions. Ten of our 15 CHWs have passed the voluntary State Certification exam.
Amendment # 2 will allow this work to continue until the end of fiscal year 2024.
