SUBMITTED BY: Dawan Utecht, Director, Department of Behavioral Health

SUBJECT: Amendment II to Agreement with Health Care Connection for Health Care
Management Student Internship Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Amendment II to Agreement No. 19-291 with Health
Career Connection to include a program fee for the healthcare management student internship
program, effective June 1, 2020 with no change to the term of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022
and increasing the maximum by$2,500 to a total of$2,500.
Approval of the recommended action will add a program fee of$2,500 for the recruitment and placement of
three interns by Health Care Connection (HCC). The students would be in theirjunior and senior year in
college and would acquire practical knowledge in health care management through a 10-week summer
internship program with the Department of Behavioral Health. Department senior management will
supervise the interns. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. If this item is not approved, the County will be out of compliance with
Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. et seq.; 45 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section
80.1 et seq.; and 28 CFR Sections 42.101-42.112)and Executive Order 13166, which requires recipients of
Federal funding to provide LEP persons with meaningful access to government services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Costs for the program
are funded by Mental Health Services Act-Workforce Education and Training. Sufficient appropriations and
estimated revenues will be included in the Department's FY 2021-22 Recommended Budget and included in
subsequent budget requests for the duration of the agreement.
DISCUSSION:
HCC is a national non-profit organization that recruits, screen, finds, and funds internship placements for
college students within health care organizations. HCC refers up to three interns annually for the summer
internship program.
On June 18, 2019, your Board approved Agreement No. 19-291 with HCC for a health care management
student internship program for five consecutive years, which included a three-year base contract and two
optional one-year extensions at no cost. The agreement was to provide health care management experience
County of Fresno page 1 File Number.21-0628
File Number:21-0628
for students (interns), from various colleges and universities through the Department of Public Health.
On June 23, 2020, your Board approved Amendment I, retroactive to June 1, 2020, to add a ten-week
summer college health care management internship program (internship program)for the Department of
Behavioral Health. The program sought partnerships with other organizations to provide health care
management experience to interns from various colleges and universities. The internship experience was to
be provided at facilities operated by the Departments of Public Health and Behavioral Health with
experienced staff who can provide preceptorship and close supervision. The amendment modified the
Employment Relationship, added an Agreement and Release of Liability to be completed by the interns, and
added liability and indemnity requirements.
The recommended amendment will amend the Compensation/Invoicing language to add a program fee for
placement of three interns, providing more students the opportunity to learn about the discipline of
Behavioral Health. The fee covers the cost of the intern's educational stipend, the recruitment, screening,
and initial interviews of students, setting up host partner interviews, and final placement of candidates.
With your Board's approval, interns will continue to provide health education support and planning
educational meetings, events, and trainings. In addition, interns will provide support with community
outreach and in developing, collecting and analyzing survey data.
