BACKGROUND:

In February 2009 the Office of Sponsored Research at Stanford University provided a subaward to San Mateo Medical Center in the amount of $39,846. The subaward was to fund the work to be performed by staff at Fair Oaks Adult Clinic on the Case-Management and Environmental Support to Sustain Weight Loss and Reduce Congestive Heart Disease (CHD) Risk Research Project. On December 9, 2009, the Agreement was amended by Stanford to extend the term to April 30, 2010, and increase the funding by $53,418 to $93,264.

 

DISCUSSION:

Stanford is again amending the Agreement to extend the term by one year to April 30, 2011, and increase the funding by $123,672 to $216, 936. The Amendment allows for continuation of the project toward the fulfillment of the scope of work.

 

SMMC staff will continue to attend weekly meetings and help coordinate relations between Nuestro Canto de Salud (NCDS), Fair Oaks Adult Clinic and Stanford personnel. In addition to attending the weekly project meetings, staff will contribute to patient recruitment, study intervention and patient retention.

 

The Amendment and Resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel as to form.

 

This Amendment contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by reducing obesity and improving the general health among diabetic adult residents in the Redwood City area. It is anticipated that 90% of patients surveyed will report an improved quality of life and 75% will experience a significant reduction in weight.
