In June 2016, Council approved three years of financial support for Healthier Kids Foundation (HKF) in the amount of $70,000 per year for health and dental screenings and health education programs for Santa Clara residents. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) requires quarterly updates. The HKF Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-19 Third Quarter report is attached (Attachment 1).
The MOU will expire on July 1, 2019. On May 7, 2019 Council authorized the City Manager to extend the MOU through the remainder of calendar year 2019 and requested that staff return with additional information related to service provision and procurement options for Council consideration later in the year.

The FY 2018-19 goals for HKF is to screen 1,000 children for vision, 500 children for visible dental issues, and 500 children for adequate hearing. HKF will also target a minimum of 200 parents to attend at least one "10 Steps to a Healthy You!" class. According to the third quarter report submitted by HKF, progress toward accomplishment of the annual measurable objectives indicated: 552 Vision First screenings (55% of goal), 511 Hearing First screenings (102% of goal), 177 Dental First screenings (35% of goal), and 114 parents attended 10 Steps for Parents (57% of goal).
The agency's original 2016 strategy assumed greater referral through access to school sites. HKF outreach strategy has shifted to other public venues, programs, and citywide special events to meet the intended goals.
