Commission approves short-term MOU to reestablish coordinated referrals between county public health and Root for Kids
Summary
San Juan County approved a three-month interagency agreement to allow San Juan County Public Health and Root for Kids to coordinate client referrals and work toward reestablishing WIC and related services locally; staff said the arrangement runs to May 31 and may be renewed.
Mike, San Juan County's public health director, presented an interagency memorandum of understanding with Root for Kids to facilitate client referrals and to coordinate WIC-related protections for client data.
"The purpose of this MOU is just to create a mutually beneficial relationship between public health and Root for Kids so that we can link clients to services that one another provides," Mike said.
Commissioners asked whether WIC or a mobile WIC unit would resume local services; Mike said reestablishing WIC presence was underway as new staff completed training and that the agreement is a short-term arrangement that ends May 31 with the expectation of a subsequent agreement if needed. Commissioners approved the MOU for the initial term and asked staff to monitor service resumption and report back.
