Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Board of Health entered into a contract with The James Cancer Hospital in the amount of $2,250.00 for Laboratory Testing and Diagnostic Services to assure quality care to eligible persons living with HIV or AIDS in central Ohio (Franklin, Licking, Delaware, Morrow, Union, Madison, Pickaway and Fairfield counties) for the Ryan White Part A HIV Care Program for the contract period of March 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.

Partial funding was established because of a partial grant award from the Health Resources and Service Administration. Once additional funding was allocated by The Health Resources and Service Administration additional funding for this vendor was able to be allocated.
