Cole County approves DHSS 'Show Me Healthy Women' renewal and supplemental ZOLL Medical agreement
Summary
The commission approved renewal of the County’s Show Me Healthy Women contract (DHSS reimbursement for screening referrals) and signed a supplemental purchase agreement with ZOLL Medical to obtain disposable cardiac supplies at reduced cooperative-contract pricing.
Cole County commissioners approved renewal of a Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services contract for the Show Me Healthy Women program and authorized a supplemental purchase agreement with ZOLL Medical during the March 31 meeting.
Speaker 6, addressing the commission, described the Show Me Healthy Women renewal as an annual contract under which staff refer women for well-woman exams and receive reimbursement from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services for procedures such as mammograms and screenings. A motion to renew the contract was made and the commission approved it by voice vote.
Separately, Presenter Speaker 7 asked the commission to sign a supplemental purchase agreement with ZOLL Medical that would allow the county to order certain disposable medical supplies directly through a cooperative purchasing agreement at lower prices. Speaker 7 said the county’s longstanding relationship with ZOLL made the supplemental agreement advantageous and that prices under the cooperative contract “beat anything that we are currently being offered.” A motion to enter the agreement was made and approved by voice vote.
Both approvals were recorded as voice votes in the meeting transcript; the public record excerpt provided does not include roll-call tallies or the final signed contract documents. Staff indicated they would proceed with the procurement steps required to implement the ZOLL cooperative purchasing arrangement.
Actions recorded: motion to approve the Show Me Healthy Women contract renewal and motion to sign the ZOLL supplemental purchase agreement; both approved by voice vote.
