DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Health Center Program
AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of Non-competitive Replacement Awards to Sunset Park
Health Council, Inc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will
transfer Health Center Program (Section 330(h) of the Public Health
Service Act) funds originally awarded to Saint Vincent's Catholic
Medical Centers of New York to Sunset Park Health Council, Inc., to
ensure the continuity of services to low-income, underserved, homeless
patients in New York City.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Former Grantee of Record: Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Centers
of New York.
Original Period of Grant Support: November 1, 2007 to October 31,
2010.
Replacement Awardee: Sunset Park Health Council, Inc.
Amount of Replacement Award: $1,288,436.
[[Page 53702]]
Period of Replacement Award: The period of support for the
replacement award is June 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010.
Authority: Section 330(h) of the Public Health Service Act, 42
U.S.C. 245b.
CDFA Number: 93.703.
Justification for Exception to Competition: The former grantee,
Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Centers of New York, has relinquished
all grants. Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Centers of New York's
inpatient services has closed, and Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical
Center of New York has filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. The
former grantee has requested that HRSA transfer the Health Center
Program Section 330(h) funds to SPHC in order to implement and carry
out grant activities originally proposed under SVCMC funded Section
330(h) grant applications.
SPHC has been engaged in the delivery of primary health care
services in the local area and is a current Section 330 grantee who
indicated an ability to assume operations without a disruption of
services.
The short-term transfer of the 330(h) funds will ensure that
critical primary health care services continue and remain available to
low-income, underserved, homeless patients with no interruption in
services to the target population.
