ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the amended contract with the Comité De Bien Estar, Inc. for the Cancer Support Group of Yuma County for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024. (Jenny Torres, Acting City Manager)
SUMMARY:
Service: The Cancer Support Group of Yuma County (Group) was formerly with the Yuma Regional Medical Center. Now they are operating through Comité De Bien Estar, Inc. The Group coordinates a support group for those battling cancer and their families. Many of their current members are San Luis residents. The contract limits the use of the city's funds to the San Luis residents. The Group will use the funds for outreach to San Luis residents battling cancer and the benefits of participating in the Group and conducting regular Group meetings, which provide activities to support physical and mental health. They also connect the members to resources available through other organizations to provide gas money for trips to therapy, prescribed cancer medication, post-mastectomy bras for breast cancer survivors, prostheses for those who have limb amputations due to cancer, and wigs for all types of cancer treatments when loss of hair is a side effect. The Group offers the opportunity to connect with others with similar concerns and experiences. The Group offers support groups, social activities, mind and body sessions, healthy lifestyle seminars, and workshops. All programs are free and designed to support cancer patients, their families, and caregivers through their cancer journey.
Amount: On May 17, 2023, the City Council directed staff to budget $5,000.00 for the fiscal year 2023-2024.
Amended Contract: On May 24, 2023, the City Council approved a contract for the Group. However, the services were not accurately described in that contract. In the May 24, 2023, contract, the services described direct help for gas money for trips, medication, prostheses, and wigs. However, this Group does not have funding for such things, but they connect their members to organizations that help in this regard.
