Cabarrus County Health Department <br /> <br />715 CabarrusAvenue W, · P.O. Box 1149 · Concord, N. C. 25026- 1149 · Area Code 704/786-8121 <br /> William F. Pilkington, ;lealth D£rector <br /> <br />February 9, 1993 <br /> <br />John Witherspoon, County Manager <br />Cabarrus County <br />P. O. Box 707 <br />Concord, North Carolina 28026-0707 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. witherspoon: <br /> <br />Bradshaw Medical Group has been providing contracted nursing <br />service at the Cabarrus County Jail for the past sixteen <br />months. Bradshaw Medical Group has canceled the contract <br />effective February 28, 1993. Under the contract, Bradshaw <br />provided nurses to the jail for 28 hours per week. <br /> <br />In the process of exploring solutions to how best to provide <br />jail health services in a cost effective manner it appears <br />that the best alternative is hiring our own nurse. One of <br />the nurses currently on contract is willing to accept <br />employment as our jail health nurse. This nurse would work <br />a forty hour week at an annual salary plus benefits at <br />approximately $36,000 which is what we have budgeted for <br />jail health for FY 93-94. In addition, the county would get <br />40 hours instead of 28 hours of nursing care at the jail. <br /> <br />Because the contract for jail health services expires at the <br />end of this month, we need to respond quickly to this <br />problem. Thank you for considering this request. <br /> <br />With best regards, <br /> <br />William F. Pilkington <br />Health Director <br /> <br />WP:ft <br /> <br />cc Robert Canaday, Sheriff <br /> <br />£q~al (;pl)r~rttodty/A ffirmati:,t .4 ~ tion fi'mplr;j, cr <br /> <br /> <br />
