Explanation

Background: This ordinance authorizes the Office of the Mayor to accept and appropriate $497,990.89 in grant monies made available by the Ohio Department of Medicaid. These grant monies will be used to fund the Enhanced Maternal Health Project for the period April 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019. Ordinance 0859-2018 authorized the Office of the Mayor to accept and appropriate $3,331,483.24 in initial Ohio Department of Medicaid grant monies. However, after further discussions with the Ohio Department of Medicaid, the CelebrateOne Office determined that $497,990.89 in additional grant funding could be made available to the City of Columbus for the Enhanced Maternal Health Project. Therefore, this ordinance seeks authority to accept and appropriate this additional grant funding related to the CelebrateOne initiative.

This $497,990.89 in additional grant funding will be added to the $3,331,483.24 in initial grant funding (via Ord 0859-2018), bringing the total Enhanced Maternal Health Project funding to a total of $3,829,474.13. These grant proceeds have been made available by the Ohio Department of Medicaid, in partnership with its Medicaid Managed Care Plans and will be utilized by the City of Columbus CelebrateOne Office to coordinate the Enhanced Maternal Health Program in Franklin County. This program supports the expansion of Centering Pregnancy services offered by PrimaryOne Health Centers, as well as the hiring of community health workers who have completed a CelebrateOne Community Connector internship. These community health workers will support the Healthy Beginnings at Home housing stabilization program, as well as the expansion of home visiting services through Columbus Public Health and Nationwide Children's Hospital. Furthermore, workers will provide operational support for StepOne, the prenatal appointment and scheduling service operated by Physicians Care Connection as well as the ongoing support of MOMS2B weekly support session...
