Agenda Item

Discuss and take appropriate action on Memorandum of Understanding with Bluebonnet Trails and participating hospitals for crisis respite center.

Background

The State approved the Williamson County collaborative project that was submitted for a crisis respite center (now officially named the San Gabriel Crisis Center) through the $82 million Crisis Redesign allocations last Spring. St. David's Round Rock, St. David's Georgetown, Scott & White Hospital at University Medical Campus, Seton Medical Center Williamson, and Cedar Park Regional Medical Center all agreed to split the match required for the grant. Bluebonnet Trails, with the assistance of Commissioner Covey, has worked with the Georgetown Healthcare Foundation to lease the building and has paid for all renovations. In addition, Bluebonnet has contracted for the Wood Group to operate the 24-hour, 7 day a week facility; contracted, or provided other necessary medical providers; and handles all other aspects of the facility. The center is in available tool for our MOT/CIT to use for diversions from the State Hospital system and local emergency rooms. Detailed stats are being gathered to prove the effectiveness of the center and to help determine continued future participation amounts from the hospitals. This MOU has been approved and signed by all five hospital CEO's and Bluebonnet Trails. There was no match required of the County to participate in this project.
