Proposals for County Funding of Non -Profits July, 2004 Human Services Advisory Board Recommendations Proposals for Funding Directly from BOCC Monroe County Health Department Fiscal Year 2005 Human Services Advisory Board (HSAB) Recommendations In February, 2002, the Board of County Commissioners adopted new policies and procedures governing the future funding recommendations of the HSAB. Projects were to be included in these three categories: medical services, core social services, and quality of life services. Those policies are attached. On March 18, 2004, the BOCC approved a total funding level of $1,347,950.00 for Fiscal Year 2005. The HSAB has returned to the BOCC a funding level of $1,379,500.00, $31,550.00 above the BOCC instruction. The recommendations are enclosed. Human Services Review Committee Recommendations At the special meeting of the Board of County Commissioners July 31, 2001, the Commission voted to establish a committee which was "charged with identifying a core group of non-profit organizations to be funded by the BOCC and establish criteria to qualify for funding." Members of the committee were: Commissioner Dixie Spehar, Monroe County Health Department Director Jake Rutherford, Rural Health Network Healthy Kids Director Keith Douglass, Wesley House Executive Director Joseph Barker, Human Services Advisory Board Chairperson Alexsandra Leto, and Guidance Clinic of the Middle Keys Director of Operations Debbie Barsell. This committee has met several times, and has categorized services into three groups, listed criteria for funding in each group, and established percentage guidelines to assist the Human Services Advisory Board (HSAB) in making its funding recommendations. The recommendations of the Human Services Review Committee are as follows: • The overall human service funding of the BOCC was considered. Funding required by law, such as Baker Act services, will remain directly funded by the BOCC, as will funding for cultural programs. Mental health services, medical services, and recreational services, formerly funded directly by the BOCC as part of the non -governmental, human and social services budget process, will now apply to the HSAB. • The HSRC recommends the establishment of a basic human services plan to assist and identify the needs and allocate resources to purchase in a request for purchase (RFP) process for multi -year funding and service to ensure appropriations, consistency and efficiency. This plan should be a comprehensive plan to identify the human and social needs of Monroe County. • The FY02 funding for agencies now recommended to apply to the Human Services Advisory Board totals $1,288,852.00. This will be an increase in both the amount and the number of agencies applying to the HSAB, but not an overall increase in total funding. The amount of funding and the number of agencies for subsequent years may vary. • The three groups are medical services (physical, mental and behavioral care services), core services (non -medical but basic essential human needs services), and quality of life improvement services (services to improve the quality of life for any individual or community). A listing of these groups and the criteria for each are attached. • As guidelines for the Human Services Advisory Board to consider in making its funding recommendations, medical services would receive 65%, core services 30%, and quality of life improvement services 5% of total funding. The actual recommendations of the Human Services Advisory Board may vary from these guidelines at the discretion of the HSAB. The accompanying spreadsheet shows the three groups of services and the FY02 totals and percentages of each. An illustrated sample is attached. • With the recommended decrease in the percentage share of funding for the quality of life group of services, the Committee agreed to request that the Sheriff's Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund Advisory Board increase funding in this area accordingly as well as from the United Way. Committee member Keith Douglass addressed the Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund Advisory Board at its January meeting, and they indicated their willingness to collaborate in appropriating funds to social services agencies.

Since "Experience Works" assumed responsibility for that position a year ago, we still are without a receptionist. It is my understanding that is true in both the Big Pine and Key West chapters also. The job description would require a entry level salary ($10,361 per year), which does not appear to be that unreasonable for four hours a day as a receptionist. See attachment A for the cost figures of this position. In addition, the three exiting chapters would to have a full time "Senior Activities Director" for the county. This person would coordinate the activities for all three (hopefully four in the near future) senior centers, especially for exterior functions. Locally we are having a very difficult time getting people to do that type of work, yet it is needed for a properly functioning senior center. It has been suggested that this position would be a level eight salary scale (approximately $50,000 per year). See attachment B for the cost figures of this position. Sincerely: William R.

Please forward to the proper authority_ The Big Pine Key Senior Center volunteer operations have expanded over the years as the community has grown and as a result of new community service expansions. Burdens for operation of the activities in prior years have been absorbed by this AARP Chapter's private funds, which see attached. Some of these are rightly the responsibility of county government. Furthermore, new operations, such as public computer access and necessary copying facilities, require funding. Moreover, personnel from each center has been withdrawn and there is a need for a countywide coordinator of programmed activities at all four senior service sites. I trust these submitted forms and support data are sufficient to move things forward. I am alert to responding to your needs for any further information. Thank you. Very truly yours, ��� Norman F.

Responds to calls, on -site queries, program explanations and maintaining the distributions of printed materials and updating bulletin boards, and as such, this position requires four hours each normal weekday. In past practice, the person in the position has also aided people who were infirm in navigating and using the center. See attached Issue Expenditure Detail Item. #1 Activities Coordinator: There is a need for a county -wide coordinator of activities at the four senior center sites. Many activities and programs can be improved and shared between sites with coordination.

Roberts County Administrator 1100 Simonton St., Room 2-205 Key West, FL 33040 Dear Mr. Roberts: I am writing to you to make application to Monroe County for financial support of the Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center, Inc. The Center provides unique and essential services to not only our native wild birds but also the people who care enough about our environment to rescue birds in need. The importance of our wild birds to the Keys is demonstrated in many corporate logos. Approximately half of the 808 birds that we received last year came from unincorporated Monroe County. This historic trend has continued into 2004 with the 305 birds received to date. These numbers are to be expected, given service areas of 15 miles on Key Largo, Ocean Reef, and referrals from the middle and lower Keys. This also fits with the majority of our birds' injuries being caused by encounters with fishing tackle. Waterbirds and people compete for fish: the former for survival, the latter for recreation. With our release rate at nearly 40%, we are returning a hundreds of these birds to the wild to continue reproducing their species. This is a great relief to the hundreds of caring people who are their frontline rescuers. The Center has survived for two decades primarily through the generosity of these caring people, not only the local rescuers but also current visitors and long-time members from throughout the nation. The attached P & L for last year provides more details. As grateful as we are for their support, we are appealing to the County for financial assistance for two reasons. The major reason for our request is that our income has diminished as a result of the national economic softness. For the first four months of '04, income was down $9,280, 7.42%, from this period last year. (See the attached comparison report.) Accordingly, we have trimmed Our expenses by $5,363, 4%, but there is little else we can cut. The second reason is that one cost will go up significantly, and inescapably. Our Director, Laura Quinn, is 75 years old. She no longer has the physical stamina to work the 70-hour weeks that she has been working — at no pay. In the understandable absence of a volunteer to replace her, we have hired someone with veterinary experience. This is a significant increase in our payroll. Like many other small Keys employers, we are unable to offer our staff any health insurance coverage. Therefore, we are requesting financial support from the County in the amount of $20,000.00. While this would be in the form of general operating support, it would consist of 50% of the direct medical care for the birds and 2.5% of the overall environmental education facility.

Registration does not imply endorsement, approval, or recommendation by the state. May 30, 2004, Page 2. In detail, the medical expenses for bird care last year, consisted of the following: supplies and medications, 7,080 equipment, 2,266 hyperbaric therapy, 1,209 disposal, 816 services, 830 subtotal, approx. 12,200 and medical staff payroll, 8,650 Total, $20,850. Half of that, for the birds received from the County, is $10.425. Keeping the facility open every day of the year to provide environmental education to locals and visitors and a sanctuary for permanently disabled native birds totaled $363,257. (See enclosed annual comparison report.) Deducting the above medical expenses leaves $352,832. Multiplying that by the percentage of our contributing members from the County living on Key Largo, (2.5%), is $8,820, which, with $10,425, is $19,245. Granted, this may seem a little arbitrary, but it seems logical that the County at large should support the resources that we provide to the citizens of and visitors to Monroe County. There is one other point of information that needs to be explained. Laura Quinn will retire and the Wild Bird Center property will be sold. Her retirement will be a gradual, phased reality that is being addressed with new staff and the increasing involvement of Dr. Bob Foley. The property and residence that is currently personally owned by Laura will be purchased by the State. Laura will move into a nearby home similar to the one she sold to build the current Center. The assets of the Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center, all of the other improvements to the property and the materials and equipment used to operate the facility, will remain through a management and lease agreement with the State. The Center will continue to operate as usual. Ultimately, a much larger and more extensive wildlife and environmental education center will be created on the scarified property across the highway as a project of the South Florida Resource Conservation and Development Council. That will be the new home -of our Center. This r.eA. location contains sufficient scarified property to allow many new activities that are not possible on our current, limited property. It will be a first-class facility. We are asking for your support now so that we can continue to provide to the orphaned, ailing and injured wild birds, and the caring citizens of the county the services they need during this lengthy transitional period. Thank you for your consideration of this application. Sincerely, C" Bruce B. Horn - Operations Manager FLORIDA KEYS WILD BIRD CENTER June 25, 2004 >.3 U N 2 9 2004 James L. Roberts __ _ County Administrator 1100 Simonton St., Room 2-205 - -t Key West, FL 33040 Re: Potential purchase of Wild Bird Center property. Dear Mr. Roberts: Way bacK in 1984, Laura Quinn established the Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center, Inc. as a facility to provide a refuge for the temporary and permanently disabled native wild birds that had been treated and saved by Bob Foley, DVM. The Center flourished to the point of outgrowing her residential site and in 1991 relocated to the current 5-%2 acre site on the bay at MM 93.6. The Center was granted a minor conditional use permit* in 1991 and has received an Institutional Overlay on the 2010 FLUM*. It currently leases* the property and facilities in the residence from Ms. Quinn for $500/month. THE MISSION OF THE CENTER IS: to reduce the suffering of sick and injured wild birds; to reduce the occasions of their injury through education; to reduce environmental hazards that place these birds at risk; to increase the number of birds, both common and endangered, that are released to live in the wild. The Center is comprised of treatment and laboratory facilities, boardwalks through natural habitats, educational exhibits, parking and restroom facilities for the public. The upstairs of the residence is for the Director, an employee, and Interns. The growth of the Center was initially driven by a constantly increasing number of birds arriving from throughout the 130-miles of the Keys. In 2003 we admitted over 800 birds, with more than 700 being brought in by caring citizens. We also received 14,000 visitors last year, facilitated by being open to the public every day of the year. These visitors donated on -site more than $80,000 last year. The quarterly newsletter, Footprints*, sent to people who have asked to be members, raised $115,330, and over $70,000 was received through grants. The total income was nearly $287,000. The reason for this letter is that Ms. Quinn is now 75 years of age and her health shows the years of physically hard work seven days a week. As long as she is in residence, she cannot really retire. In order to move off the premises and into a home equivalent to the one she sold to buy the current property, she must have access to her investment in this property.

Registration does not imply endorsement, approval, or recommendation by the state. June 25, 2004, Page 2. The proposal has the goals of allowing Ms. Quinn to retire from the Center while insuring the continued existence of the Center under lease from the county, with the directorship of Dr. Foley, and the perpetual protection of this precious property. Acquisition of this property by Monroe County is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in at least five ways. 1. By providing employee housing in the residence, the goal of developing affordable housing is met. 2. Environmentally sensitive lands will be preserved, as demonstrated in reviewing the HEI* conducted in the initial permitting process. 3. Habitats of rare, threatened or endangered species of plants and animals will be preserved, as demonstrated in reviewing the HEI*, and also by the rehabilitation of listed wild birds. 4. Community character of Monroe County is enhanced by the continued existence of a facility to which our caring citizens can take sick or injured wild birds and also where visitors can learn about our unique and delicate environment. 5. The open space, scenic corridors and viewsheds will be protected in perpetuity. On May 5, 2004, the property was appraised* Gene B. Gracer. Mr. Gracer concluded that "the present use of the property, as improved, is the Highest and Best Use of the property". His opinion of the "As Is" Market Value is $930,000. Ms. Quinn has placed an asking price of $900,000 on the bay bottom tract (RE #89040), the "Warshaw Property", (RE #480160), and the residential improvements thereon.* Thank you for your consideration of this proposal.

AAPP-BPK 872-26t. y For July z , 2004 Comments before BOCC, Key West, on 2005 Senior Center Budget As the generation of WWII passes, so too are the elders who volunteer. There's a marked lessening of involvement throughout the volunteer world... Senior Centers are being enveloped in the quicksand of time and younger generation are reluctant to volunteer. It `s become clear that today a more structured support system is required to appeal to, and involve, volunteers. The time has come to supplant the structure that is passing away. TOWARD this end, the counsel of Senior Center Executives urges that a new policy and approach be pursued which includes the following budget items: 1. Employ a part-time Receptionist/Greeter at each active Senior Center Site to replace recently eliminated personnel. 2. Employ a full-time, county -wide, Activities Coordinator with duties which directly advise the volunteer operators of Senior Centers on county processes. These would include: reports and budget preparation, volunteer activity methods and enrolling, site management and program reporting. Also required would be a concentrated use of the media for furthering site or county -wide goals and cementing community relations. 3. Increase substantially the funding of Senior Centers, since they now encompass added community services and programs which benefit a larger local community reach. Without such actions now, your volunteers and Centers will slip away from the community. CALL upon me for any information or help you may require. Thank you for your attention.

Key The Monroe County Commission July 20, 2004 1100 Simonton St. Key West, FL 33040 Dear Mayor and Members of the Commission: Thank you very much for your continued support of the programs conducted by the Rural Health Network of Monroe County (RHNMC). Through your generosity we have been able to operate the four mobile and fixed -site primary medical care clinics and a new dental clinic. Your support of the Florida KidCare program has enabled a record number of children to have a medical home, with more than 5,200 participating. In addition, we have made significant progress towards the development of a countywide health care plan for everyone unable to obtain affordable health insurance. You have invested in these initiatives and should feel proud that your support is making a difference in the lives of your less -fortunate constituents The RHNMC is making application to the federal government for approval to create a new "Community Health Center" (CHC) in Marathon and have been working with Fishermen's Hospital in a cooperative effort to locate both the primary care facility and a new oral health care operation in one complex. The CHC will qualify for a substantial amount of federal dollars heretofore unavailable to our community, and enable us to double the number of days of operation each week, providing comprehensive primary medical services on an equal access basis, throughout the county. Unfortunately, the funding would not be available for a number of months and the cost to continue to operate the primary care clinics presents a difficult challenge. The primary care clinics served over 3,800 people, many requiring repeat visits due to the seriousness of their medical .issues, totaling 12,000 patients serves provided More than $350,000 in prescription medications was dispensed to those in need as well. Funding from Monroe County is critical to our continued operation and provides evidence to our new federal partners that we have significant local community support. In addition, the clients give what little they can. We are also in the lengthy process of obtaining Medicaid Provider status, which will enable the RHNMC to obtain reimbursement for some of the services performed. We need your help to sustain the operation in the short term this year. You have been providing $150,000 for the past two years to support the primary medical care program. The RHNMC asks that you invest $200,000 for our primary care program for the coming year, while we complete the requirements for CHC status. I have included a Health Services Synopsis and proposal supporting documentation for your review and thank you for willingness to help us help others in need.

The oral health program hired a full time dentist, although this was also temporary in that the dentist had to leave in a year. The dentist formally left our clinic in May '04. We were fortunate enough to be able to recruit our previous dentist, (who had relocated to Pensacola), to travel to the Keys for 3 weeks per month for 6 months in order to keep the service available, as we continue our search for a fill time dentist. As this occurred, the ARM in the Lower Keys became pregnant, left for maternity leave and decided to accept a position in Haiti. She formally left our clinic in mid June '04. Our Staff RN in the Lower Keys also left our organization in order to travel for a year, this occurring in mid June. Thd target population of the dental clinic continues to be predominantly adults and children who have not been able to seek dental care in recent years, due to their inability to pay the high cost that care and due to the unavailability of discxxmted oral health services with a sliding fee schedule. The clinic continues to provide the following services to these patients: comprehensive and limited exams, radiographs, preventive services (prophylaxis, fluoride applications, and sealants), moons, root canal therapy (excluding molars), restorations (amalgam and composite fillings), and removable prosthodontics (space maintainers, partial and full dentures). Oral Health Statistics Total Patients: Of 1,650 of current patients, 370 were new patients Females: 808 or 49•/a Males: 942 or 51% Children under 12: 160 or 10'/0 Children 13 to 20: 90 or 9% Adults over 50: 246 or 260/6 Adults 21 to 50: 270 or 49% The primary care program, due to the diligent planning and grant writing of the CEO, has now formally applied for Federal 330 funding (Community Health Center) and status. This will allow the Network to expand clinic hours in bath the Upper and Middle Keys to 5 days a weer, while providing the Lower Keys with continued coverage and the possibility of expansion of services on Big Pine Key. With the absence of staff since April '04, the Network continued to staff all designated sates, despite the fact that the Lower Keys had limited services, operating primarily with a RN and administrative assistant. Primary Health Care Statistics Total Patients Visits: 3,8W Total Patient Services: 12,000 Patients, Upper Keys: 1600 Patient Services UK: 48M Patients, Marathon: 900 Patient Services Marathon: 2700 Patients, Big Pine: 360 Patients Services Big Pine: 1080 Patients, St Clare Clinic: 1000 Patient Services: 3000 Even with the personnel problems, primary care was provided for approximately 3,860 patients, who received approximately 12,000+ services. Through our pharmacy assistance program, Health Services brought over $350,000 worth of prescription medications into Monroe County. All other statistics remain unchanged, reflecting the only county wide primary health care available throughout Monroe County. Primary care patient problems range from simple episodic problems to chronic health conditions. Services provided included physical examinations, women's health exams, laboratory testing, pharmaceutical assistancey immunizatnonsy basic first aid, wound care, STD and TB screening, health education and prevention, and referral services. "A major problem that affected both the primary care and oral health components was Personnel problems, in that the hiring of a practitioner and dentist proved to be a daunting exercise. It took approximately 6 months to find the needed personnel to fill the positions. The major obstacle was salary and cost of living in Monroe County. Unfortunately, we are having to begin this process as we enter 2004 since both the dentist and practitioner will be leaving for personal reasons." The paragraph in quotation marks is from last year's report (03-04). As of this meeting, we are still trying to hire a full time dentist and may have possibly hired a semi -retired physician, willing to work in the vacant ARNP position. "' HEALTH SERVICES SYNOPSIS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2003 The Rural Health Network's primary care component achieved Rural Health Clinic status in July 2003 and is in the process of qualifying as a Medicaid provider, which will provide reimbursement for many services. The Network continued to staff all designated sites, even though finding and keeping qualified staff presented a significant challenge to the Network. Even with the personnel challenges, primary care services were offered to approximately 4,500 patients, who received approximately 13,500 services. Finding and keeping qualified primary care and oral health personnel is an ongoing challenge. New funds are necessary to obviate this situation and retain qualified health care givers. Salaries and the cost of living in Monroe County are the major obstacles. Marathon's fixed -site clinic at the Ruth Ivens Health Department facility served about 1,000 patients while dispensing about $100,000 in prescription medications. Mobile Van 1 in the Upper Keys saw 2,000 patients, and also dispensed about $100,000 in prescription medications. The Mobile Van 2 located in Big Pine Key served just fewer than 600 patients, and St. Clare Clinic in Key West serviced over 1,000 patients of which approximately 400 were homeless. Through our pharmacy assistance program, Health Services brought over $300,000 worth of prescription medications into Monroe County. All other statistics remain unchanged, reflecting the only county wide primary health care available in Monroe County. The primary care clinics see adults and children who cannot afford to see a physician who does not provide discounted services or a sliding fee schedule. Most patients have complaints ranging from simple episodic problem to chronic health conditions. Services provided included physical examinations, women's health exams, laboratory testing, pharmaceutical assistance, immunizations, basic first aid, wound care, STD and TB screening, health education and prevention, and referral services. The first dental clinic for the indigent opened in January 2003. Since its inception, 415 patients have receives 1,940 services. The dental clinic predominantly sees adults and children who have not been able to seek dental care in recent years, due to their inability to pay the high cost and a lack of discounted oral health services with a sliding fee schedule. Many patients require three or four repeat visits and present with extensive caries, periodontal disease, and dental alveolar infections. The clinic provides the following services to these patients: comprehensive and limited exams, radiographs, preventive services (prophylaxis, fluoride applications, and sealants), extractions, root canal therapy (excluding molars), restorations (amalgam and composite fillings), and removable prosthodontics (space maintainers, partial and full dentures). Future plans include the establishment of a community health center (CHC) providing both primary medical and oral health care at complex in Marathon and the creation of a dental clinic in the Upper Keys as well.

RHNMC does not subcontract any county funds with any other entities or organizations. 12 How do you network with other organizations? Describe any sharing of costs, referrals of clients, etc Are any services funded by the County subcontracted to another organization? We are looking for more detail than your membership in Interagency Council. An example of an appropriate answer is "one of Agency X'S employees works out of our branch" or "we jointly fund X positions with ABC Agency." The Rural Health Network of Monroe County by its very design and by Florida statute (381.0406) is a "network", in addition to being a direct provider of services. Its 28 member Board of Directors is composed of representation from all 3 county hospitals; 3 physician -hospital organizations; 4 chambers of commerce; state, federal and county government representation; substance abuse and mental health services; the faith community; the major health service providers; long-term care representation; special women and children's medical services; special health services, the health department, and consumers. All RHNMC quarterly Board meetings are designed to secure input, feedback and approval from the health care community and the community -at -large for its initiatives. RHNMC is subject to the FL Sunshine law and publicly notices all scheduled meetings. These publicly noticed meeting provide an opportunity for health care providers and the public to scrutinize the plans and initiatives of RHNMC to ensure non -duplication of services. RHNMC is the county's health care coalition. As a service provider organization, RHNMC has actively networked with other social and health care agencies in this community. (1) As the recipient of US Dept. of HUD grant FL14B00-4001, RHNMC has shared over 50% of its grant funds with the Guidance Clinic of the Middle Keys [for inpatient substance abuse detoxification], FL Keys Outreach Coalition [for basic human needs], and the US Fellowship of FL, Inc (case management). In a renewal application (2004), RHNMC will share over 84% of HUD grant revenues with the Guidance Clinic, Catholic Charities and Samuel's House. (2) RHNMC directors serve on the following Boards: Boys Scouts of America, FL Keys Children's Shelter, Monroe County Educational Foundation, Southernmost Homeless Assistance League, Inc., the American Cancer Society, the Healthy Start Coalition of the FL Keys and the FL Coalition for the Homeless. (3) RHNMC is a member in good standing with the FL Community Health Center Alliance, (Monroe Co.) Inter -Agency Council, and the FL Rural Health Association. (4) RHNMC has partnered with the Monroe Co. Health Department in health outreach initiatives for the children's hand -washing campaign, head lice prevention and children s dental care. (5) The executive director of RHNMC served as chairman of the county s homeless coalition for 4 consecutive years (1998-2001), and RHNMC was a founding member of that non-profit organization (6) RHNMC has partnered with the Monroe Co. Sheriff's Department and local fire departments (Key West, Marathon, Islamorada and Key Largo) to offer the children s safety car seat program. (7) RHNMC has twice been the recipient of the (state's) Davis Productivity Award for its contributions to FL KidCare (in 2001 and 2002); has been recognized by the FL Department of Health as a model of successful health are access; and has been recognized by Texas A&M University: School of Rural Public Health as a Best Practices Model in 2002-2003. (8) In 2003, RHNMC received the Concern Award from the National Association of Counties (NACo) for its dental care project, and also from NACo, the Achievement Award, for its primary care program, as a result of this county funding partnership. 13. Is your agency monitored (for example, by Dept. of Children and Families, a parent organization, or a state or federal agency)? If yes, by whom and how often? If not, how does your agency document and measure its service performance and success rates? RHNMC is monitored by the FL Department of Health: Office of Rural Health. As a state certified rural health network, RHNMC operates under FS 381.0406, and is required annually to submit a Board approved work -plan for contract inclusion. This plan must include measurable goals and objectives that will be achieved by the Network over the course of the contract year. Measures of objective attainment are submitted in quarterly reports. The Florida Department of Health conducts an annual inspection of each certified rural health network. FINANCIAL INFORMATION 14. Is your agency receiving any cash or in -kind services e.g. free rent, utilities, maintenance, etc. from the County or any other source? If so, briefly explain below and be sure to include the fair value in Attachments E and G. RHNMC receives the equivalent of free rent in a lease authorized by the Key West City Commission and signed by the Key West Housing Authority under the US Navy's BRAC Project, wherein homeless service providers may access housing in former Navy property at $1.00 per year x 50 years. RHNMC currently occupies Z 2 bedroom units for administrative purposes under this plan. Fair market value is placed at $2,000 per month per unit, or $48,000.00 (total in -kind) per year at that site. RHNMC is also a guest of the county and health department at the Ruth Ivins Center in Marathon. RHNMC performs basic outpatient primary care from that facility two days per week. Estimated in -kind value is placed at $24,000 per year. RHNMC's dental program is currently housed at the Department of juvenile Justice Building on Stock Island in Key West. RHNMC is not charged rent at this location, but is assessed a monthly maintenance fee of approximately $1,100 per month Estimated yearly rent equivalent is $24,000. 15.

Please give a one -paragraph description of each program for which you are requesting funding. This project constitutes the only provision of direct primary health care services for the uninsured throughout this county. RHNMC uses 2 medically egtupped mobile vans and 2 land based sites to accomplish its health care outreach. Services are provided in Key Largo, Tavernier, Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine and Key West. Approximately 3,500 unduplicated patients are seen per year, while RHNMC provides over 15,000 different services and experiences over 4,5W visits. Staff teams at each site are composed of a mid -level licensed practitioner (PA or ARNP), an RN and an administrative (health) technician. All medical staff are supervised by an on -call medical director (MD) who also provides technical assistance and quality assurance review on a monthly basis. RHNMC provides laboratory assistance at little -above wholesale costs, while all eligible patients for the pharmaceutical assistance program may receive free prescription medications. In 2002- 2003, RHNMC provided the retail equivalent of over $650,000 in prescription drugs to over Z500 RHNMC primary care patients. 17. Where and when are these programs being offered? List all sites and hours of operation. RHNMC's primary care services include sites at Key Largo (MM 105; St. Justin Martyr Church; Mondays;10:30 am to 6:30 pm), Tavernier (MM 90, San Pedro Church, Tuesdays;10:30 am to 6:30 m), Islamorada (MM 81; Islamorada Library; Wednesday;10:30 am to 6:30 pm), Marathon (MM 50; Ruth Ivies Center; Thursdays & Fridays; 9am to 6pm), Big Pine Key (MM 30, St. Peter's Church, Thursdays;10:30 am to 6:30 pm) and Key West (MM 0; St. Clare's c, 2700 Flagler Ave.; Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Fridays; 9am to 6pm). The RHNMC dental clinic on Stock Island in the Dept. of juvenile Justice Bldg., is operational on Tuesdays through Fridays, 9-5. Funding is requested to support primary care services in the Upper and Middle Keys. 18. What need or problem in this community does each program address? Include a description of your tappet population. This project targets under/uninsured adults and children throughout the county, and directly addresses the need for accessible and affordable primary health care for the uninsured of this County. 19. What are the causes (not the symptoms) of this problem or need? RHNMC's assessment of the health care need lists the following variables as contributors to the lack of affordable primary health care in Monroe County. (1) Monroe County maintains the highest cost -of -living rate in the state, and has so for the last 22 years. Most middle and low-income residents simply cannot afford health care insurance and/or potential health care costs. (2) Spiraling professional liability insurance premiums for providers makes overhead increasingly more difficult to absorb for many practitioners, causing a flight" to the mainland, and higher health care I RHNMC administrative staff are also assigned direct service and operational responsibilities. costs. (3) The Agency for Health Care Administration study (2001) cited Monroe County as maintaining a rate of uninsured at 25% for all county residents, one of the highest in the state. Recent samplings of health insurance coverage reveals that many county businesses simply cannot afford health insurance for their employees, while most premiums are out of reach for middle and low-income households. 20. What does your agency do to address these causes? RHNMC has established primary health care clinics throughout the county. It offers health care services on a sliding fee scale basis. Through foundation contributions, state and federal grants, and local support, RHNMC has been able to continue to provide low-cost primary health care for the uninsured. RHNMC is also the lead agency for a community - based endeavor that seeks to establish and sustain an affordable health insurance product for all dozens, regardless of income. 21. What statistical data support the need(s) listed in number 18, above? Examples include crime statistics, census bureau data, studies by impartial organizations, Bureau of Labor Statistics reports, objective surveys, etc. Attach copies of any relevant documents.
