FCHC and the Health Department originally entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in 2012 to provide primary care and maternity care services that the Health Department was no longer able to provide at its Stuart location. In furtherance of the purposes of the MOA, Martin County entered into a Lease Agreement with FCHC for a portion of the Health Department’s Stuart location, which is owned by the County.
In January 2019 a Lease Agreement was entered into between the two parties under the same terms and conditions, which are one year with two, one-year renewal periods. The Lease Amendment is to amend the insurance provisions, requirements, Radon Gas disclosure and Public Records requirements that were not included in the 2019 lease. The lease will continue to run concurrently with the MOA between the County and Florida Department of Health.
All other provisions and rents will remain the same as approved and as set forth in the County’s General Services Report. It is a requirement that FCHC use the leased premises exclusively for the provisions of health services consistent with the MOA.
The County is authorized, pursuant to Sec. 125.38, Fla. Stat., to lease real property owned by the County to not for profit organizations organized for the purposes of promoting community interest and welfare.
