Exhibit A • PROPOSAL SUBMITTED TO MIAMI BEACH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT • • BY: MOUNT SINAI MEDICAL CENTER, MIAMI BEACH , FLORIDA AUGUST 20 , 1978 . . ` • • • • Miami Beach has a population that is especially skewed in the direction of the upper age group: about 65.9% of the Miami Beach population is over 55 years of age, a figure which is overwhelming particularly in light of the lesser Dadc County total of 24% and the nationwide estimate of 19.4% . South Miami Beach, in particular, has a disproportionately large number of elderly, reporting 72% of the population over age 60 . In fact, this area has often been described as "God' s Waiting Room". In this area alone, 27% of the population falls below the government set poverty line. This situation, compounded by inadequate and overcrowded housing, indicates a deficient environmental milieu which often promotes and/or further accentuates the social and medical care problems confronting the elderly. Mount Sinai Medical Center has because of its location and because of its position as a voluntary not-for-profit institution, been particularly involved with the problems of this aged poor population. In response to this need, Mount Sinai developed an outreach program called Project Sinai . The purpose of Project Sinai is to provide the elderly population of South Miami Beach with comprehensive Medical Care. The Outpatient Department at Mount Sinai in coordination with the . South Beach Activities Center, The Jewish Vocational Service and Rebecca Towers (through community care) , supplies to residents of the South Beach area the opportunity to receive total medical care by Project Sinai physicians, nurse practitioners and nurses. This is accomplished through a free transportation system which transports the • -2- aged from congregate meal sites , activity centers and housing developments for hospital care. Mount Sinai has outreach nurses at these sites who screen, counsel , coordinate the medical care of the patients and develop strong health education programs for the community. The program has experienced tremendous growth since its inception just over two years ago. Project Sinai has become a model program in the Miami Beach Community and the network of agencies all working together to coordinate the medical care and social needs of aged individuals on South Miami Beach has made this outreach program truly successful. Mount Sinai Medical Center would like to further expand its program of serving our aged population on South Miami Beach. This could be accomplished by hiring another nurse who would be assigned to the remaining congregate meal sites . This nurse would screen' patients,;' follow-up on any medical orders and develop health education and counseling programs for the elderly. At 'the present time, there is only one social worker assigned to the outpatient department. The hospital needs more social workers whose main responsibility is the ambulatory patient . In terms of cost containment, so often a social worker can prevent a person from being institutionalized by keeping him/her functioning with the gamut of community services that support independent living. • • • n F Ij( Y -3- Mount Sinai would like to have a social worker assigned specifically to the outpatient department to handle the problems of the elderly. This social worker would be used by the Project •Sinai team. The job would involve evaluating patients as to social service needs and mental health needs, aiding patients in securing appropriate services and social assistance. Most importantly, this individual would be handling the emotional component to the physical and social treatment of the elderly. He or she would act as a liaison consultant to community agencies involved with the Project Sinai in coordinating the network of community services. We recognize that drugs and pharmaceuticals are a great concern of the elderly. Emergency room and clinic records constantly- note the fact that patients who cote for care are often over, under and/or inappropriately medicated. Many aged individuals present shoe boxes full of medications to take. Very often these medications present some sort of security to the aged patients--a security which may end up being detrimental to their health. Mount Sinai Medical Center would like to therefore employ a fulitime pharmacist specifically for the outpatient clinic whose main responsibility would be drug evaluation and counseling. This person would be a member of the Project Sinai team and would act as an outreach workerto the various agencies serving the elderly on Miami Beach (e.g. South Beach Activities Center, J.V.S. nutrition program, Rebecca Towers, among others) . The pharmacist would consel patients as to medications and would aid the social .•'- • • a . . -4- workers and nurses at the sites in terms of drug counseling. This • person would be responsible for developing a strong drug education program for the outpatient department as well as for community. agencies. Additionally, the• pharmacist would coordinate the activities of Mount Sinai with those efforts of the City of Miami Beach. This individual would not have a dispensing role but rather limit his/her functions to the consultative and educational functions as delineated above. • Budget Ambulatory Services-Project Sinai Pharmacist, 1/2 time 8,580- + 17% fringe @ 1,458. • ' 10,038.

Medicare does not reimburse for dental services nor do most of the supplemental insurance plans that many elderly carry. Many medical problems of the elderly can be attributed to dental problems. Medical diagnoses such as malnutrition and gastritis have been known to be connected with poor oral health. Many aged individuals have ill fitting dentures (or in some cases no dentures at all) and are unable to eat the correct foods or digest them appropriately. The dental department is concerned with the oral health needs of the elderly. Mount Sinai has recognized the unmet need for dental care and in response to this, the hospital is expanding the physical facilities of the dental department to accomodate a larger treatment program for the community. This clinic at.Mount Sinai is the only dental facility • on Miami Beach that treats people regardless of ability to pay. The wait list for. care in the dental clinic now is at. least three- months. This alone documents a great need for these services. Now that space is available for additional residents_ in general dentistry, we are requesting funding to equip our dental program • to treat these indigent patients by hiring an additional dental resident, a dental assistant and a dental technician. Since so many of the oral health problems of the aged involve total and partial dentures, the need for a dental technician and supplies is paramount. • • -2- The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is concerned about the lack of dental care for indigent persons and is therefore looking to fund selected general dentistry programs in teaching hospitals. We are planning to apply for such funding when it becomes available. This interim funding that is requested will enable Mount Sinai Medical Center to expand its treatment program for indigent patients. We hope to further expand this program with the Robert Wood Johnson Grant. • Budget Dental Program 080 y)en�al Resident, full-time 152:135:4: 5 2,s 564 . + 17� fringe @ - 17,644. full-time 8,000. _ Dental Assistant, fringe @ 1.,360. 9 ,630.
