Summary of Request:
The State of California authorizes each county to develop an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program and to designate a Local Emergency Medical Services Agency (LEMSA) to oversee delivery of EMS within its geographical area. As documented in California Health and Safety Code (Division 2.5, Chapter 6, Article 1, Sections 1798.100 - 1798.105), Base Hospitals must be designated by the LEMSA in order to provide medical control, direction, and accreditation, certification, and supervision of personnel delivering emergency medical services. Pursuant to those guidelines, Mendocino County’s LEMSA has designated Adventist Health Howard Memorial, Adventist Health Ukiah Valley, and Mendocino Coast District Hospital to serve as Base Hospitals for local EMS providers.
Today’s item requests retroactive approval of a newly-drafted Agreement with Adventist Health, which outlines expectations for both Adventist Health Howard Memorial and Adventist Health Ukiah Valley. The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) worked closely with County Counsel and the LEMSA to refine the original 2013 Agreements and to combine the two Base Hospitals now overseen by Adventist Health into the single Agreement presented for Board approval today. This process required additional time and necessitated the retroactive start date.
Coastal Valleys EMS Agency consulted with HHSA to develop the proposed Agreement with Adventist Health and cosigned it as Mendocino County’s LEMSA. Approval of the Agreement will allow the two hospitals in Willits and Ukiah to serve as Base Hospitals through Fiscal Year 2021-22.
