treatment, counseling, and mental health services; lab work; and dental
care to vulnerable and underserved populations. Cape Cod Hospital
currently serves the service area of Barnstable County, Massachusetts,
with the capacity, capability, and interest to serve OCHS's client
base. Cape Cod Hospital has satellite offices located in the middle
region of Cape Cod with close proximity to OCHS with comparable medical
services provided. OCHS has had previous contractual relationships with
Cape Cod Hospital that will ensure familiarity and a seamless
transition of RWHAP patients originally served by OCHS. Up to $158,713
will be awarded to Cape Cod Hospital for the budget period of April 1,
2017, through March 31, 2018. The award to Cape Cod Hospital will
