Board allows Blackhawk County Mobile Clinic to use county grounds for pilot dates
Summary
Supervisors approved three pilot dates for the Blackhawk County Mobile Clinic to use county grounds; the clinic representative said insurance and host-site liability requirements have delayed expansion and the goal is to grow to weekly visits if the pilot succeeds.
The Board of Supervisors approved a motion permitting the Blackhawk County Mobile Clinic to use county grounds for three pilot dates: July 30 (5–8 p.m.), Aug. 16 (7–11 a.m.) and Sept. 30 (5–8 p.m.). The board authorized use of the courthouse parking lot and other county parking facilities for the events.
An online representative who identified herself as Caitlin told the board the program had faced delays at other host sites because of insurance and liability requirements and said using county grounds would allow the clinic to operate while those issues are resolved. "We're wanting eventually...to get up to about once a week having the mobile unit out," Caitlin said, adding that the initial plan is one per month in July, August and September and that expansion would depend on the pilot results.
Board members discussed liability and scheduling; Caitlin said both the clinic’s insurance and host-site coverage are factors. The motion to allow county-ground use was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
