Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on Agreement for the Williamson County Health Grant Program with Hill Country Medical Ministries, LLC (known as Samaritan Health Ministries) for qualifying visits provided to eligible uninsured patients. 

Samaritan Health and Sacred Heart clinics are important safety net providers to uninsured individuals that are less than 250% of the Federal Poverty Level.  This agreement continues support and the partnership that Williamson County has had for many years with the clinics utilizing the Tobacco Account funding (Community Clinic Services Program) and also DSRIP funding.  The DSRIP funding by the federal and state governments is no longer available.  This agreement helps provide short-term funding needed to sustain services.  These services include medical, dental and mental health services that help keep individuals working, reducing indigent healthcare costs, and reducing hospital emergency room visits.  The eligible patients must have no insurance or Medicaid/Medicare.
