Agenda Item Text:

Approve Amendment 3 to Contract CTR050594, Health Start Program, between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health & Social Services, to extend the contract through July 5, 2024.

Background:

Cochise Health and Social Services (CHSS) has received the Health Start grant for over 35 years which allows us to promote healthy births and healthy families among Cochise County residents.  This program serves pregnant women and families with children under age two. The purpose is to reduce pregnancy and post-partum risks through a community health worker model. CHSS trained Health Educators are trained in and use an evidence-based curriculum called “Partners for a Healthy Baby” to support and educate parents about how to raise healthy children.  Pregnant women and parents receive guidance and information including what to expect during pregnancy, breastfeeding education and support, nutrition for children and pregnant women, screening for child development, activities to support healthy development and home health and safety.  These services are provided via in-home visits, at a public location, and/or at the CHSS office.

The Health Start Program serves approximately 250 families, providing an average of 1,500-2,000 intervention visits, throughout Cochise County. 

This contract was formerly titled ADHS IGA 15-096693.

This amendment is to extend the agreement and Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) will send the price sheet at a later date for Board approval.

 

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Forward signed copies to Suzanne Hagle, Prevention Services Division Director. 

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Not approving this item would result in the termination of the CHSS Health Start contract which provides services to at-risk pregnant women and children underage of two throughout Cochise County.
