HEALTH - PUBLIC 06-10-02
The Board considered approval of a request received from the Health Department for County funding to replace state funding for the teen pregnancy case management program. Kay Kent, Administrator/Health Office of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department was present for the discussion. Kent noted that the Health Department was recently informed by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) that because tax increases passed by the Legislature were insufficient to meet the full KDHE budget, all teen pregnancy programs may be defunded on July 1, 2002. As of today, KDHE d s not know their agency budget allocation, so cannot tell the Lawrence- Douglas County Health Department for certain whether state funding for the program will be eliminated. Kent gave a history of the success of the program and asked the Board to consider funding the program if needed. It was the consensus of the Board to defer this decision until after KDHE has been notified of their budget allocation.
