Thank you to our incredible member hashtag for making this week’s Day at the Capitol such a success. 👏 📣
We were proud to join health centers from across California in Sacramento to elevate our shared legislative priorities and highlight the innovative and personal ways our health centers continue to deliver high-quality, accessible care to all who walk through their doors.
Our advocacy focused on advancing policies that protect, expand, and restore vital access to Medi-Cal for the patients and communities we serve. We also engaged in important conversations around opposing a ballot initiative that could have significant consequences for health center sustainability.
We’re especially grateful to our Alameda County State Assemblymembers and State Senators for their steadfast support and partnership. We look forward to continuing this work together to advance the health and well-being of our communities.
