Title
Presentation by Kulik Strategic Advisors, Inc. (KSA) (Tracy Kulik) on Health Services Gap Analysis
Body
The County contracted for a gap analysis with KSA to help determine the health service needs of people residing in Los Alamos County. KSA was selected via the RFP process and based on their response to the RFP was best suited to receive the contract. The contract with Kulik Strategic Advisors, Inc. to perform the Health Services Gap Analysis for Los Alamos County was initiated on November 15, 2019. A steering committee was formed to work with KSA throughout the process of the Health Services Gap Analysis. The steering committee was comprised of Kristine Coblentz with Los Alamos Public Schools and County Health Council (CHC) member; Philip Gursky with the Los Alamos Heart Council and CHC Chair; Elizabeth Allen, Los Alamos County Municipal Judge; Lori Coffelt with Los Alamos Medical Center, Alicia Justus with Los Alamos National Laboratory, Margi Harrach with Lemonade Living and CHC member, Linda Matteson, Acting Community Services Department Director and the Staff of Los Alamos County Social Services Division. In addition to the steering committee, KSA met with key informants identified by the steering committee and also hosted focus groups with the public on topics also identified by the steering committee.
Tracy Kulik, from KSA, will present their process and findings. The resulting report is shown in Attachment A. The study includes identifying the existing infrastructure that provides direct services locally to Los Alamos County Residents; demographics and population details of Los Alamos County; health care risks and challenges Los Alamos County faces; and systemic and provider issues impacting access to health services and to the well-being of County residents. The report will include an analysis and recommendations to address the gaps identified.
