FROM: Jonathan R. Lewis, ICMA-CM, City Manager
TITLE: Consideration of Letter of Support for Primary Care Partnership
Recommended Action
Authorize a letter of support to be sent under the Mayor's signature
Background Information
The City of North Port Commission is being asked to support continuation of the current public/private partnership between the Sarasota County Department of Health (DOH) and the Community Health Centers of North Port. This partnership serves more than 30,000 citizens per year at three health centers in Sarasota County.
There is concern that the Florida Department of Health will require Sarasota DOH to reduce its participation and/or withdraw from providing primary care services in our community. The loss of this partnership would have a significant impact on Sarasota County and its citizens.
