HSA clinics currently operate in seven (7) medical office locations across the County, including offices in Ceres, Hughson and Turlock, and four (4) locations in Modesto. The clinic facility plan recommends reducing the number of locations from seven (7) to six (6). The reduced number of locations is expected to result in overall service efficiencies that cannot be achieved in the current clinic facility configuration. At this time, the clinics located in Ceres, Hughson and Turlock will not be impacted by the transition plan.

The Board will consider whether the McHenry Medical Office in Modesto and the Paradise Medical Office in West Modesto will undergo remodeling to make them more efficient and expand their ability to house clinic services. There are two (2) alternatives for the sixth clinic location: retaining services at the existing facilities on Scenic Drive or at the Medical Arts Building in Modesto.

The Board will also consider the authorization of lease amendments for the proposed remodeling of the Paradise and McHenry Medical Offices, and new lease agreements for the Women, Infant and Children Program, the Children and Families Commission, the Community Services Agency and Library services which are currently located at the Paradise Medical Office site. The relocation of these services will make way for the remodeling to accommodate the expansion of clinical services at the Paradise location.

This meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 6, 2005 at 9:25 a.m. in the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisor chambers located at 1010 Tenth Street.
