NMC wishes to amend this agreement for an additional one-year period. The amendment will allow Ms. Finney to continue to perform the services for work associated with the PRIME program. Services include implementation of milestones, execution of required programs, and further timely submission of required reports to the California Department of Health Care Services and other agencies.
