Summary: Staff request approval of a Memorandum of Understanding with Contra Costa Health Services to provide mobile school-based health clinics. Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS)opened its first school-based center (SBHC)over 20 years ago and currently operates five licensed SBHC clinics, one stationary and four 40 ft long full-scope mobile health clinics at 14 schools in Contra Costa County. These clinics completed 8,000 visits in 2010. In the Mt. Diablo school district CCHS completed 615 visits at Concord High School, 310 visits at Cambridge, 845 visits at Meadow Homes, 696 visits at Mt. Diablo High, and 596 visits at Ygnacio Valley High. The mobile clinic will serve the same school and is available for a maximum of 20 hours per week, with 4 hour minimum blocks of service. Services will include immunizations, TB testing, sports physicals, asthma treatment and control, diabetes and weight management issues, wellness checkups,, minor sick care, comprehensive health services and related laboratory testing, confidential services will also be offered. the presence of clinics on school grounds minimizes the amount of time away from class by student patients and encourages compliance with scheduled appointments.

All staff are licensed,as appropriate and are CPR certified.
