Health Commission approves EPIC Systems gifts to support behavioral health and safety-net projects
Summary
The Commission approved two resolutions authorizing SFDPH to accept gifts from EPIC Systems Corporation to support a Richmond-area multiservices project and safety-net services across the network; commissioners approved both measures on voice votes.
The San Francisco Health Commission voted to authorize the Department of Public Health to accept multiple gifts from Epic Systems Corporation to support the Richmond area multi-services project and other safety-net efforts.
What the commission approved
Greg Wong, an administrative analyst at SFDPH, presented two separate resolutions: one recommending that the Board of Supervisors authorize acceptance and expenditure of a $37,000 gift restricted to the Richmond area multi-services project; and a second resolution authorizing SFDPH to accept and expend multiple cash gifts from Epic Systems under the Epic Safety Net program for a range of sites and programs. Wong said the larger set of gifts supports primary-care services offered by federally qualified health centers and other safety-net providers.
Votes and procedure
Commissioners moved and seconded the resolutions in public session and approved both items by voice vote. For the first resolution the presenter noted the donation was restricted to the Richmond area multi-services project and therefore required Board of Supervisors authorization; the second set of gifts had already been included in the department's annual budgets, so the item required only departmental authorization prior to acceptance.
Amounts and purpose (as presented)
- Richmond area multi-services project: $37,000 (restricted gift presented for Board of Supervisors authorization). - Additional Epic Systems gifts: multiple amounts presented together for authorization and expenditure; the presenter enumerated gifts in the board item memo, including line items that were read aloud during the meeting.
Ending
Both resolutions were approved; no amendments were proposed. The items will proceed through the usual administrative steps (Board of Supervisors authorization where required) and departmental accounting for the gifts' designated uses.
