The Board of Supervisors disagrees with elements of this finding. The County’s health services Integration Project was conceived and is designed to bring health-related services from three County departments – Public Health, Behavioral Health, and Arrowhead Regional Medical Center – under one roof into each of five regional clinics. Under this concept, Public Health would provide preventative health services, Behavioral Health would supply mental health services, and ARMC would offer primary care services to these County facilities. At this time, no involvement of Community Based Organizations (CBOs) in the integrated county clinic facilities is envisioned. The H Street Clinic is but one of many CBOs that participated in a Request For Proposals (RFP) to contract for the delivery of services under the Ryan White Program for HIV/AIDS services. Under law, contracts for services must undergo a competitive process. The Ryan White Program is jointly administered with Riverside County under the direction and supervision of a federally mandated Planning Council which consists of community members appointed by each county’s Board of Supervisors. Under the provisions and scoring of RFP ASP 07-02 for the Ryan White Program Part A, Part B, Minority AIDS Initiative HIV/AIDS Healthcare and Support Services released in January 2008, the H Street Clinic CBO scored last in every category and therefore did not receive funding. Currently, the Department of Public Health holds contractual agreements with 11 qualified CBOs to deliver services. Regular and predictable RFPs are released to the public in an effort engage the CBO community to deliver health-related services to promote the health and well-being of San Bernardino County residents. 3
