Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded additional grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health for the Women's Health Services grant program in the amount of $3,500. These additional funds will allow for continued services. The purpose of this legislation is to accept and appropriate these additional funds to conduct the Women's Health Services Program for the period of July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006.

The Women's Health Initiative program allows for comprehensive women's health services including family planning. Eligible patients include women from the CHD Perinatal Program at post partum and women who have had a negative pregnancy test through our walk-in pregnancy testing service.

This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so as to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Women's Health Services Program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health. This program does not generate revenue or require a City match.
