Purchase of Services Agreement with UNC Speech -Language
Pathology and Audiology Clinic
Enclosed for Board approval is a Purchase of Services Agreement between the Weld County
Health Department (WCHD) and the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) Speech -Language
Pathology and Audiology Clinic.
UNC will provide audiological testing services for both Child Health and Well Adult Program
Clinics in the Health Department building as that is where the sound proof booth is located. For
these services, WCHD will reimburse UNC $4,725.00.
Also, in an attempt to get services out to the rural sites, UNC will provide educational workshops
in four rural clinic sites. These workshops will include education, hearing aid checks and
identification of resources for the hearing impaired and senior population. The actual testing
will continue to be done in the Health Department building as testing in the rural sites is difficult
and frequently lower in accuracy due to their physical location. Transportation resources are
available in most cases to assist clients in coming to the Health Department. The cost for these
additional workshops is $626.75 which brings the total amount of the contract to $5,351.75.
I recommend your approval of this agreement.
