BACKGROUND INFORMATION
DPH provides comprehensive primary care services to uninsured and underinsured populations throughout San Bernardino County (County). The Strategic Advisor position assesses and analyzes the operations of DPH’s Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), focusing on patient delivery services and financial performance that flows from the operations. Additionally, the Strategic Advisor develops tailored strategies, quality assurance processes, action plans, and performance improvement initiatives to streamline administrative actions, increase revenue, and align with DPH’s objectives and industry standards.
On March 25, 2025 (Item No. 42), the Board approved Contract No. 25-166 with Glen Thomazin D.O., to provide strategic advisor services, at the rate of $170 per hour, not to exceed 235 hours, with an estimated contract amount of $40,000, for the term of May 31, 2025 through December 12, 2025.
