WHEREAS, cost effective collaboration with community pharmacies allows for increased access and less interventional healthcare, and purchasing medications at a reduced rate under the federal 340B Drug Pricing Program permits SMMC to expend funds that would otherwise be used for medication on other programs; and

WHEREAS, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for pharmacy services was conducted in January 2010, and nine vendors responded; and

WHEREAS, there has been presented to this Board of Supervisors for its

consideration and acceptance three agreements with Anchor Drugs, reference to which is hereby made for further particulars, whereby Anchor Drugs will provide pharmacy services to patients of the Daly City Health Center, the South San Francisco Health Center and the Fair Oaks Family Health Clinic, each agreement being for the term from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2013, for a combined maximum amount payable across all three agreements of $2,775,000; and
