Report

RECOMMENDATION:

 

It is recommended the Board of Supervisors:

 

Ratify execution by the Chief Executive Officer for Natividad Medical Center (NMC) a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Salinas Union High School District for the provision by NMC personnel of on-site sports physicals for student athletes of the school district, for no exchange of money, and with an agreement term August 4, 2022 through June 1, 2023.

 

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:

 

Natividad’s Family Medicine Residency Program has partnered with the Salinas Union High School District to provide pre-participation screenings, also known as sports physicals, for its student athletes at no cost to the school district.

 

This event is mutually beneficial for Natividad and the Salinas Union High School District. Our Natividad Family Medicine residents gain sports medicine experience under the supervision of our Residency faculty, and the high school students get access to on-site pre-participation athletic screenings. Many of these students have working parents who have difficulty bringing them to an extra doctor’s appointment for this required preparticipation screening, so this improves their access to healthy physical activity through participation in school sports programs. It also provides an opportunity to identify health concerns and bring them to the attention of the student’s parent and primary care physician. 

 

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

 

The Office of County Counsel has reviewed and approved this MOU as to form. The MOU has also been reviewed and approved by NMC’s Finance Committee and by its Board of Trustees on August 12, 2022.

 

FINANCING:

 

There is no cost associated with this MOU.

 

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
