body
DEPARTMENT: Health Department
ORIGINATOR: Rhonda Smids-Osborne
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Lacey Harper 6/19/23
PURPOSE: Enter into a Grant Agreement with Bastyr University to provide Advancing Health Literacy to Enhance Equitable Community Responses to COVID-19 grant funding and develop and disseminate health and safety information that is accurate, accessible, and actionable for the residents of Snohomish County.
BACKGROUND: In July 2021, the Snohomish Health District was awarded the Advancing Health Literacy to Enhance Equitable Community Response to COVID-19 grant (AHL) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The District has been collaborating under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreement with Bastyr University since the start of our advancing health literacy grant work. They have promoted changes in the health care delivery system that improves health information, communication, informed decision-making, and access to health services and helped support and expand local efforts to provide adult education, English language instruction, and culturally and linguistically appropriate health information services in the community and have actively participated in multiple events and conducted outreach on behalf of the Health Department and grant activities. Due to the nature of the work Bastyr University has been performing, it was identified that they should be classified as a subrecipient to the grant and so a subrecipient grant agreement is needed to replace the currently established MOU. The grant work is scheduled to end on June 30, 2023.
