BCMS members visit with Councilwoman Ana Sandoval of City Council
District 7 on Sept. 27 during a joint meeting of the BCMS
Legislative/Socioeconomics and Public Health/Patient Advocacy Committees. BCMS
members visit with Rep. Diana Arevalo and Councilwoman Ana Sandoval on Sept
27 In a joint meeting of the BCMS Legislative/Socioeconomics Committee and Public Health & Patient Advocacy Committee, physician members met and discussed healthcare issues of importance to medicine with Rep. Diana Arevalo (House District 116) and Councilwoman Ana Sandoval (City Council District 7), respectively. Committee members first visited with Rep. Arevalo regarding state legislative items, in particular, those items heard in the House Public Health Committee, of which Rep. Arevalo is a member. A number of state items were discussed, including: scope, vaccinations, Tobacco 21, among others. On the local front, members heard from Councilwoman Sandoval, who is Chair of the Council’s newly formed Community Health and Equity Committee. Topics of importance discussed on the local front, include: Tobacco 21, air quality, commute solutions for employers, asthma, obesity, sugary drinks and prevention of chronic disease. Both Rep. Arevalo and Councilwoman Sandoval expressed interest in working with BCMS and physician members to continue discussions on these topics in preparation for interim legislative charges at the state level and establishing a formal committee of experts on community health at the local level. Stay tuned to this column as meetings continue in the coming months with our state and city council elected officials. For local discussion on these and other public health and legislative
advocacy topics, consider joining the BCMS Legislative and Socioeconomics
Committee by contacting Mary Nava, BCMS chief government affairs officer and
lobbyist at mary.nava@bcms.org.
