City Council Memorandum Police Memo No. N/A
Date:
July 20, 2023
To:
Mayor and Council
Thru:
Joshua H. Wright, City Manager
Tadd Wille, Assistant City Manager
Sean Duggan, Police Chief
From:
Travis Feyen, Police Commander
Subject:
Agreement No. 4625, Health Screening Services for the Police Department
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council approve Agreement No. 4625, with JS MD Sigma, PLLC, for health screening services for the Police Department, in an amount not to exceed $250,000.
Background/Discussion:
Scientific research has confirmed police officers die significantly younger than the general United States population. The leading contributor to early death is heart disease. The proposed voluntary health screening for the Police Department will provide an opportunity for early detection of heart disease as well as related conditions. Employee health and wellness is a priority and this screening is an important step in achieving this goal. In its Fiscal Year 2023-2024 annual budget, City Council approved funding specifically for cardiometabolic screenings as an added health and wellness benefit for Police Department personnel.
Evaluation:
The onsite Cardiometabolic Health Screening conducted by Sigma Tactical Wellness is a voluntary wellness activity available to sworn Chandler Police Department employees as part of the City of Chandler’s Health and Wellness Program. This health screening program was developed by JS MD Sigma, PLLC, to address the health risks specific to first responders. The program is unique to JS MD Sigma, PLLC. The screenings will incorporate blood-based inflammatory biomarker detection, vascular imaging, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing to identify early onset and late-stage coronary disease. Officers will finish the screening program with a complete understanding of their current metabolic status and individual cardiovascular risk.
Services provided include medical evaluation, vascular imaging, cardiac biomarker metabolic analysis with exercise and nutritional modification, direct consultation, as well as other services tailored to first responder health. Any follow-up medical testing, consultations, and care resulting from the screening are the responsibility of the employee as they relate to a personal health condition. The City’s payment for this activity does not transmute any findings from the screening into a work-related condition.
The agreement will be in effect for one year following notice to proceed. Staff recommends the direct selection of JS MD Sigma, PLLC, to perform these services.
Financial Implications:
Funding is available in the FY 2023-24 budget.
