Recognizing that these "clients-in-common" are at high risk for poor birth outcomes, the NFP Program agrees to cooperate in removing access barriers, coordinating care, and providing culturally competent services.This agreement becomes effective on the date when both the HMO and the NFP Program have signed. It remains in effect until it is canceled in writing with two weeks' notice by either signer.
