A New Administration With
A Focus On Health Care
January 2019 marks the beginning of Governor Gavin Newsom’s Administration and the first time California has had a self-proclaimed “health care Governor.” As leaders in the health care community, this marks a historic opportunity for California’s community health centers, not only because of the Administration’s focus on health care, but also because of the comprehensive and holistic understanding of how health, economics, and social factors all contribute to the health and wellbeing of a community.

Federal Update
Health Centers Prepare for the 2020 Census
The U.S. Census provides critical data to inform how the federal government and the states match funding for programs to the needs of the people in different states and communities, as well as to determine equitable political representation. These high-stakes decisions must be based on complete and accurate data.
CaliforniaHealth+ Advocates is commencing another fundraising initiative for 2019. Since the start of the year we have raised $15,000 from our partners at NonStop Wellness and $5,000 from Prima Waste Management and $5,496.20 from 17 individual contributions. These resources are critical to Advocates’ engagement in political endorsements and building out political strength.
