President & CEO, Dimitrios Alexiou, joined @SenBlakespear’s Healthcare Roundtable to discuss San Diego’s health care priorities given national & state challenges. Thank you, Senator, for hosting a forum to strengthen San Diegan’s access to high-quality care.

[Senator Catherine S. Blakespear @SenBlakespear]

I brought together leaders from every major healthcare organization across San Diego County for a critical roundtable conversation.

We discussed the real, immediate impacts that deep federal funding cuts will have on our ability to provide essential care, including rising insurance costs, decreased enrollment in Covered California, and threatened access for families across our region.

These are tough challenges, but I am deeply committed to working with my colleagues in the Senate to protect California’s progress and fight for the resources our communities need.

Californians deserve high-quality healthcare, and I will not stop advocating to ensure we all have access to the care we need.
