Modification 2 to Contract No. NFPHC-ER-23-C between the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation and George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution authorizes the District of Columbia Council to approve a contract modification between the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation and George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates, Inc. to ensure continued emergency department services at United Medical Center. The measure allows the hospital to pay approximately $3.5 million for services provided between October 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025, which exceeds the standard $1 million threshold requiring council approval. By declaring an emergency, the bill enables immediate payment for these critical medical services without waiting for the usual legislative process.
