Advocacy and Leadership month.

I had the opportunity today to meet with residents from UCSF Fresno and with Dr. Robin Linscheid Janzen, an associate professor who teaches advocacy. I much appreciated our discussion about health issues facing communities in the and applaud these residents' dedication.
In addition, our region is in critical need of doctors, and I hope most or all of them will stay in the Valley and practice here.
