38. CONSENT FOR ASSIGNMENT FOR AGREEMENT WITH DIGNITY HEALTH FOR ORAL HEALTH TREATMENT AND EDUCATION Approve a Consent for Assignment for the non-financial Agreement between Dignity Health dba Chandler Regional Medical Center and Maricopa County administered by and through its Human Services Department Early Education Division – Head Start program. The Consent for Assignment letter provides the County with formal notice of and, to the extent required, seeks the County consent for, the upcoming combination between Dignity Health and Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI”), a Colorado nonprofit corporation, and the related corporate changes. These changes may cause a technical assignment of the Agreement for which Dignity Health seeks the County consent as outlined below: • Pursuant to a “Ministry Alignment Agreement,” dated December 6, 2017, Dignity Health and Catholic Health Initiatives will align their respective health ministries into a single national Catholic nonprofit health system. • It is anticipated that the operational relationship between Dignity Health and the County will not be impacted by the combination. • The “ministry alignment” will be governed by an ultimate parent organization that will become the sole member of Dignity Health (the “System Corporation”). • Dignity Health’s hospitals list in Exhibit A will be transferred to a new non-profit corporation named Dignity Community Care (“Dignity Care”). • Both Dignity Health and Dignity Care will be under the control of the System Corporation. • The “closing” was anticipated to occur during the last calendar quarter of 2018. At the closing, Dignity Health will assign the Agreement to Dignity Care and Dignity Care will assume all of the rights and obligations of the Dignity Health under the Agreement. Therefore, the Transaction could be construed to be subject to the assignment provision of the Agreement. Accordingly, Dignity Health hereby requests written consent to the assignment of the Agreement to Dignity Care. • Dignity Care will continue to honor the terms of the Agreement. • By signing the Consent to Assignment, the County hereby consents to assignment of the Agreement in connection with the Transaction and for all purposes under the Agreement. By approving this item, authorization is granted to the Chairman to sign the Consent for Assignment letter. Maricopa County and Dignity Health entered into a non-financial Agreement in May 2016 for Dignity Health to provide Oral Health treatment and education to Head Start program participants and their families. The Agreement start date is May 1, 2016 and will expire on June 30, 2020. This Agreement is subject to cancellation in accordance with the provisions of A.R.S. § 38-511. Agreement activities do not impact the County General Funds. Supervisory District: All (C-22-16-036-3-01)
