Specifically, the health department is requesting funds from the county for disease <br />prevention and control (including public health preparedness), and environmental health services. County revenue is being <br />used for essential public health services. <br />Primary care is primarily funded through the Hospital District for indigent care, and shortfalls are covered through the <br />health department allocating its allocated state general revenue to the extent possible, while maintaining overall public <br />health operations. The health department only provides the level of primary care that the District's funding will support. <br />Primary care operations are being reduced this year because of a reduction in Medicaid reimbursement. <br />However, although .funded primarily through the Hospital District, primary care operations do benefit the county and the <br />health department in times of disaster. An advantage of being able to provide comprehensive primary care is having <br />doctors and nurses who in turn are available to serve our county when needed such as manning the special needs shelter <br />and many other activities which help our county recover. <br />bummary Keport <br />Amount requested from Indian River.County for 2016/2017: $ 602,829 <br />Total Proposed Program Budget for 2016/2017: $ 8,673,838 <br />Percent of Total Program Budget: 7.0% <br />Current Funding (2015/2016) $ 585,271 <br />Dollar Increase/(decrease) in request: $ 17,558 <br />cent increase/decrease in request: 3% <br />P& <br />
