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.
