County Health Executives Association of CA is dedicated to the promotion, protection, and improvement of the health of all Californians. #WeArePublicHealth

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

Local health officials thank @CAGovernor for sustaining critical #PublicHealth information technology systems that bolster disease surveillance, emergency response, immunization programs, and statewide public health preparedness. #MayRevise.

Counties are required to provide indigent care — but the infrastructure that once supported uninsured Californians has scaled down after CA’s historic coverage gains.

#CALeg: keep people connected to Medi-Cal and adopt the alternative #PATH4Care proposal!

Forcing California’s disease investigators to go back to using manual processes will exponentially increase workload – slowing response to disease outbreaks.

#CALeg: Lawmakers must remain committed to maintaining disease-fighting #PublicHealth IT systems!

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

California’s local health depts thank @AsmPilarSchiavo for underscoring the importance of investing in vital #PublicHealth IT infrastructure.

CALeg: CA can’t turn its back on the #PublicHealthHeroes who work day in and day out to keep communities protected and diseases at bay!

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

CHEAC and local public health leaders thank @AsmDawnAddis for recognizing the need to maintain #CABudget investments in California’s #PublicHealth IT systems — critical to disease prevention.

#CALeg: Keep local communities protected before the next crisis hits!

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

California should pursue every strategy possible to keep eligible residents connected to care.

#CALeg: The #PATH4Care proposal provides a lower-cost statewide alternative that helps reduce coverage loss & limits the need to rebuild large-scale county indigent care systems.

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

CA lost much of its indigent care system after ACA expansion.

Now, 1M+ Californians could lose coverage under H.R. 1 — but Gov’s #MayRevise proposed no $$ to rebuild county indigent care infrastructure.

#CALeg: adopt #PATH4Care to keep people covered.

CA has historically underfunded #CACounties’ CCS programs, threatening access to children with chronic conditions.

#CALeg: Adequately fund county CCS to ensure that all children have the support and resources they need to thrive.

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

Local #PublicHealth keeps Californians protected from myriad diseases – measles, tuberculosis, hepatitis, and more.

But we rely on modern tools to maximize our impact.

#CALeg: Support @CAgovernor’s proposal to invest in public health information technology systems!

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

Rebuilding county indigent care programs is a major undertaking, requiring significant #CABudget investments. But there are other affordable solutions to protect access to care.

#CALeg: Support the PATH Proposal to keep Californians connected to #MediCal!

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

Yolo County Sup & @RuralCounties board member Sheila Allen warns what’s at stake if CA fails to rebuild indigent care or keep people covered ahead of H.R. 1 cuts.

@CAGovernor proposed no funding in the #MayRevise.

#CALeg: adopt the #PATH4Care proposal!

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

CHEAC and our #CACounties partners rely on a strong state-county partnership to deliver core county services.

#CALeg: Counties are unable to absorb the impact from H.R. 1 on local programs, putting the communities we serve at risk. #ProtectOurSafetyNet

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

Over a million Californians will lose health care due to federal H.R. 1 #MediCal work requirements.

#CALeg: CA has policy solutions! The Protecting Access to Healthcare (PATH) Proposal will help keep Californians connected to care. #PATH4Care

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

Public health warns that without #CABudget investments, public health IT systems that bolstered local response and saved lives will be shut down.

#CALeg: Returning to the boom & bust cycle of funding #PublicHealth will leave Californians vulnerable when the next crisis hits!

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

Counties continue to face growing concerns over the impacts federal H.R. 1 health care cuts could have on county safety-net programs. CHEAC and our #CACounties partners urge #CALeg to strengthen the state-county partnership to rebuild county indigent care programs.

Local health officials thank @CAGovernor for sustaining critical #PublicHealth information technology systems that bolster disease surveillance, emergency response, immunization programs, and statewide public health preparedness. #MayRevise.

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

#CACounties anticipate a significant number of Californians will soon rely on county indigent care for basic medical care, at a projected cost of $5.5 BILLION annually.

#CALeg: Without #CABudget investments, counties lack resources, capacity, and infrastructure to respond.

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

During the pandemic, California made strong investments in #PublicHealth to reverse decades of underfunding that left communities vulnerable.

#CALeg: California can’t afford to turn its back on progress made to protect communities from existing & emerging public health threats!

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

CA's #PublicHealth IT systems provided a life-line during the pandemic. Now, these systems are slated to go dark.

#CALeg: Without funding in #CABudget, local health depts will return to manual processes, slowing disease and emergency response, and putting communities at risk.

[CHEAC @CHEAC]

H.R. 1 budget cuts are expected to cost #CACounties up to $9.5 BILLION annually, a cost counties are unable to absorb without substantial state resources.

#CALeg: CA needs solutions to protect county services to local communities! #ProtectOurSafetyNet
