Hospital is a current RWHAP Part C EISEGA recipient and provides 
primary medical care; chronic disease management including HIV care and 
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 
ensure continuity of comprehensive HIV primary care and support 
services for low income, underinsured, and uninsured people living with 
HIV in the service area.
