PR 26-0053 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Modification Nos. 2 and 3 to Contract NFPHC-NUR-23-C-00039 between the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation and Aya Healthcare, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This resolution approves two contract modifications for United Medical Center (UMC) to pay Aya Healthcare, Inc. for nursing staff. It authorizes $3.2 million for retroactive staffing costs (January 2024-January 2025) and $1.2 million for future staffing through March 2025, totaling over $1 million in a 12-month period. The hospital needs this payment authorization to maintain essential nursing services amid staffing shortages caused by national competition and UMC’s planned closure. Without Council approval, UMC cannot legally pay for these critical services.
