Background
Welfare and Institutions (W&I) Code Section 5897 directs the State to implement the mental health services defined in the W&I Code Section 5800 (Adult and Older Adult Mental Health System of Care Act), Section 5840 (Prevention and Early Intervention Programs), and Section 5850 (The Children's Mental Health Services Act) through contracts with county mental health programs or with counties acting jointly. The Health and Human Services Agency, on behalf of the County, contracts with the State to serve as the Mental Health Plan (MHP) of the County.
HHSA, as the MHP, maintains contracts with multiple inpatient psychiatric hospital facilities to ensure the availability of inpatient services in order to meet the needs of those we serve in accordance with Title 9, California Code of Regulations Sections 1700-1799.
Reason for Recommendation
This Agreement 476-S1311 with Sutter Center for Psychiatry renews annually until terminated by one of the parties in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement, and provides access to "as needed" inpatient mental health treatment and services on an ongoing basis, thereby ensuring continued compliance with various legal mandates.
Action(s) to be taken following Board approval
1. Chair to sign two (2) original Agreements for Services 476-S1311.
2. Board Clerk's Office to return one (1) fully executed Agreement for Services 476-S1311 to HHSA at 3057 Briw Road.
3. HHSA to distribute documents as appropriate.
