Amendment to the Mile Square Health Center Agreement, Chicago

(17) The chancellor at Chicago has recommended amending the agreement with the City of Chicago for the operation of the Mile Square Health Center, located at 2045 W. Washington Boulevard, Chicago. The City of Chicago and the University originally entered into an agreement on December 10, 1990, whereby the University agreed to provide professional services for the staffing of the center. The agreement was subsequently amended in February 1992, to simplify the application of grants and receipt of grant funds. The proposed amendment does not create any additional obligations for the University. It renames the Steering Committee to the Coordinating Committee and specifically names representatives from both the city and the University to serve as members on the committee. The University representatives will be the vice chancellor for health services and the executive director of the center, and the city representatives will be the commissioner of the Chicago Department of Health (CDOH) and the chief of the Bureau of Community Health within CDOH. In addition, by action of the city, a Mile Square Health Facility Board1 was created on August 5, 1993. The president of that board is an ex-officio member of the Coordinating Committee. The amendment has been approved by the City Council of Chicago. It has been reviewed and approved by the Office of University Counsel. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Boyle, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Ms. Huff, Mr. Riley; no, none.)

1 T h e Health Facility Board was created by the city in order to maximize reimbursement from State and Federal programs. Its creation is separate and apart from the amendment and does not supersede the agreement. T h e responsibilities of the board are: (1) assess the health care needs of the community; (2) formulate goals and objectives for the center's scope of services; (3) develop community-specific health care initiatives; (4) review appropriateness of hours of service and other facility-specific operational issues; (5) recommencf linkages with other social service programs including other CDOH programs; and (6) identify additional funding through (a) assessment of patient satisfaction, and (b) facilitation of applications for grants.
