The Ulster County Health, Human Services, and Human Rights Committee on Aug. 7 adopted Resolution 3 87 to approve a contract amendment with Westchester County Care Corporation, doing business as Westchester Medical Center and Health Alliance Hospital (Mary’s Avenue campus), for forensic pathology and morgue services. Deputy Director Tom Gibney advised the committee the existing contract had expired in April and that the amendment covers services from the prior end date through June 1 while a forensic pathologist was hired to begin June 1. The resolution approves an amendment to ensure continuity of morgue and forensic-pathology services; the transcript does not include the amendment dollar figure in committee discussion. The committee adopted the resolution by motion and voice vote; no objections were recorded and no additional conditions or service changes were discussed in the committee record.
