July 29, 2025, Item 3(ab) Approval of Agreement No. BOS 25-131
Summary of Request:
Adventist Health is an acute care psychiatric inpatient treatment facility located in Vallejo and St. Helena, California. Admission to Adventist Health is based on the medical necessity of clients who are unable to maintain and safely function at home or in the community. At the facility, Adventist Health provides multi-disciplinary evaluation, treatment, rapid stabilization, and coordinated discharge planning that encourages wellness and recovery of individuals, with a goal to send those individuals back to their respective community.
Currently, there are no local facilities in Mendocino County that are able to provide acute psychiatric inpatient treatment. As a result, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) hopes to continue to contract with Adventist Health through the proposed $500,000 additional amount to the initial Agreement, a total amount of $1,000,000 for inpatient psychiatric hospitalization services to qualified Mendocino County clients. Through the proposed Agreement, BHRS will continue to place qualified mental health clients in Adventist Health, where they will receive appropriate care including diagnostic assessments, bed spaces, therapeutic and rehabilitation services, and applicable treatment for stabilization and maintenance of mental health conditions, with an overall goal to improve client functioning and successfully discharge or transition them to a lower level of care. This agreement will be effective on July 29, 2025 through June 30, 2026.
Amendment to the current contract is required to allow Mendocino County BHRS to place additional mental health clients without interruption throughout this fiscal year.
