For quite some time now, I have served as an Advisory Committee member of the California Health and Wellness health plan, which serves Medi-Cal and other recipients. The plan is also looking for members to attend these advisory committee meetings. If you are a member of this health plan and would be interested in attending, please let me know either by e-mail at jsthom@comcast.net or by phone at 916-995-3967.
From James Collins, Community Educator:
The State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) kindly donated extra Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to CCB last week. Although the state has relaxed its PPE mandate as of June 15, if anyone is interested, there are portable “fresh water hand sanitizer bottles” (16.90 fl. Oz.) and ‘N95’ masks available at the CCB office for pickup or delivery.
