May 14, 2010 CONTACT: Sean South, CPCA California Health Centers Pledge to Preserve the Health Safety Net SACRAMENTO, CA - Carmela Castellano-Garcia, President and CEO of the California Primary Care Association, released the following statement regarding Governor Schwarzenegger’s May Revise Budget proposal earlier today: “It appears that Federal Healthcare Reform has staved off the devastating cuts to the healthcare safety net previously proposed by the Governor. In January, this Governor proposed the elimination of Family PACT, the elimination of Healthy Families, and the reduction of Medi-Cal to the federal minimum, and the only reason he has not proposed these cuts today is because healthcare reform stopped him in his tracks. He is now proposing to create barriers for the poorest Californians to access care through the creation of co-pays and premiums, the creation of benefit caps and a cap on doctor visits. The Governor’s approach is fundamentally flawed because he does not address the reality that is it only new revenues that can produce a budget that does not devastate the lives of millions of Californians. The Governor must take a balanced approach and ask those who can afford to contribute more, to help solve this budget mess. This Governor seems to want to leave our state in worse shape than it was when he took power and it is up to all of us who represent those most in need in our state to stop him and his disastrous budget." The California Primary Care Association (CPCA) is the statewide leader and recognized voice representing the interests of California community clinics and health centers and their patients. CPCA represents more than 800 not-for-profit community clinics and health centers (CCHCs) which provide comprehensive, quality health care services, particularly for low-income, uninsured and underserved Californians, who might otherwise not have access to health care.
March 26, 2010 Contact: Sean South-916-273-0729 Carmela Castellano-Garcia's Statement on the On behalf of our 800 plus clinic and health center members, I want to thank Congress for their quick work to pass the heath care reform reconciliation bill. Their quick action moves our nation one step closer to realizing the full dream of healthcare reform. The reconciliation bill is important because it provides additional funding for health centers, that will allow us to serve millions of patients. The bill now goes to President Obama for his signature. I again want to thank our patients for doing their daily battle with our current system for their work to make healthcare reform a reality. Our health centers stand ready to provide the services to the millions of new patients, that will soon be coming to their doors for their care. CPCA represents more than 800 not-for-profit community clinics and health centers (CCHCs) who provide comprehensive, quality health care services, particularly for low-income, uninsured and underserved Californians, who might otherwise not have access to health care. March 23, 2010 Rural Healthcare in the Balance Last year’s state budget cuts helped to further strain the healthcare safety net and in many rural communities the cuts caused the end to their access to healthcare. The Potter Valley Health Center in the Ukiah area was forced to close as a result of these cuts and this closure caused a loss of 27 jobs and a loss of access for 3,300 rural Californians. One patient, Nancy March, 78, shared how the closure of the clinic affected her. “I can still drive pretty well, despite having a degenerative eye condition, but my 86-year-old husband is limited to driving in Potter Valley,” which, including surrounding areas, has a population of about 3,000. “It’s going to be a real hardship,” Nancy March said of the prospect of extra trips into Ukiah for medical appointments and laboratory tests. “It also will be tough to find a new doctor because many are not accepting new patients,” she said. Nancy is just one example of the impact of the state budget cuts. In Humboldt, CA, the Open Door Clinic Dental Facility was closed after 30 plus years of operation again leaving thousands of needy people without access to care. Additionally, closures occurred when the Northeastern Rural Health Clinic closed two of their clinic sites in Westwood, CA and in Doyle, CA. These closures caused thousands of additional rural residents to lose their access to care. Rural residents have borne the brunt of last year’s state budget cuts and now the Governor is back with a new set of cuts that will devastate the safety net to the point that it may not be able to sustain itself. The cuts include 750 million of so called cost containment strategies in Medi-Cal, elimination of the Adult Day Health Care program and the elimination of Healthy Families for children from families above 200% of poverty. This cut will also increase the share of cost for all children in the program, which will reduce access for the children most in need. These are just a few examples of how this budget fails the people of California. These cuts are a problem for the rural clinics because clinics rely on Medi-Cal for the majority of their income and are already operating on the leanest of budgets. The Governor’s proposed cuts to Medi-Cal will jeopardize their ability to keep their doors open which will cost the state more money by forcing our patients to seek more costly care elsewhere, such as hospital emergency rooms or leave patients with no access point at all. The current proposed cuts are devastating enough without the Governor additionally proposing trigger cuts that would eliminate the Healthy Families Program, the Family PACT Program, and drop 1 million Californians including hundreds and thousands of children from the Medi-Cal program. These so called trigger cuts would leave the safety net tattered in shreds. The Governor must include revenues that can come from a myriad of sources including the closing of corporate tax loopholes, taxing oil profits, and by increasing taxes on tobacco and alcohol. Any of these proposals are superior to asking our seniors and children to go without the healthcare they need and deserve. California's health centers urge the Governor to revaluate his budget priorities and propose a budget that puts the needs of the people of California first!

About the author: March 22, 2010 Contact: Sean South-916-273-0729 Carmela Castellano-Garcia's Statement on the Passage of Health Care Reform On behalf of our 800 plus clinic and health center members, I want to thank our members of Congress and President Obama for making this historic victory possible. Health Care reform is a victory for our patients who, for too long, have been left behind by our current broken health care system. I also want to thank our patients and member clinics for their on-going effort to fight for a reform that we were all acutely aware would save lives and finally provide for the tens of millions of Americans who needed access to care. Every community in this state and throughout this country will benefit from this reform and we as America’s safety net providers stand ready and willing to serve this new population. Health Care Reform is an investment of 11 billion dollars over 5 years in Health Centers and a creates a Medicaid expansion that will also benefit CCHCs by insuring millions of new and existing CCHC patients. These Health Care Reform provisions support the fact that Community Clinics and Health Centers are the vital link to access for Americans most in need. I look forward to working with the California State Legislature and the Governor to implement Health Care Reform in California.
Press Release CONTACT: Sean South, CPCA California’s Community Clinics and Health Centers Ask the Governor and Legislature to Act Quickly, But Responsibly to End the Budget Impasse SACRAMENTO, CA - Carmela Castellano-Garcia, President and CEO of the California Primary Care Association, released the following statement in reaction to the fact that on August 19th community clinics and health centers across the state will begin receiving IOUs in place of Medi-Cal payments “We need the Governor and Legislature to understand that many clinics depend on Medi-Cal for up to 50-80 percent of their revenue and not receiving such a high percentage of needed resources, is no different than an individual receiving a paycheck with 50-80 percent less than their usual salary. These payment delays leave safety-net providers scrambling to continue services and can also result in long term consequences, such as full clinic closures.” “Our Community clinics and health centers are the foundation of the healthcare safety net and serve as the medical home for millions of California’s low-income, underserved, uninsured populations, and now more than ever, working class families that have been devastated by the economic downturn. We provide care to anyone who walks through our doors and this budget impasse in putting this care at risk.” "The Legislature and the Governor owe us and our 4 million plus patients state-wide a quick and fair resolution of this budget impasse, and the passage of a timely budget that doesn’t rely on damaging cuts. Only this action will ensure that our community clinics and health centers can keep their doors open, staff employed & patients protected.” “We will enter the people’s Capitol and deliver “U O Us” to the offices of the Governor, and Legislative. These “U O Us” are a visual reminder to our elected leaders of the true impact of this budget impasse on California’s CCHCs. Our hope is that this action will help spur them to act and to always remember as they deliberate the true cost of delay to the people of the state of California.” The California Primary Care Association (CPCA) is the statewide leader and recognized voice representing the interests of California community clinics and health centers and their patients. CPCA represents more than 800 not-for-profit community clinics and health centers (CCHCs) who provide comprehensive, quality health care services, particularly for low-income, uninsured and underserved Californians, who might otherwise not have access to health care.
Press Release Doctors and patients demonstrate to protest health care cuts, call for oil tax instead
WHAT: Demonstration calling for an oil severance fee and closing corporate tax loopholes to prevent $1.5 billion in cuts to primary and preventive health care and $3.9 billion in social services. Press Release $22 Million Emergency Loan Fund Made SACRAMENTO, CA – The California Primary Care Association announces the availability of a $22 million loan fund to help 800 community clinics and health centers across the state keep their doors open and continue to serve patients. Clinics, which rely heavily on Medi-Cal reimbursements, struggle to make ends meet when there are delays in reaching a final annual state budget. The loan fund is made possible by the support of our funders including the California HealthCare Foundation, Sutter Health, Catholic Healthcare West, Mercy Investment Services and NCB Capital Impact (NCBCI). “CPCA is very happy that these needed funds will be available to the clinics and health centers to help them navigate through these very difficult budgetary times. I thank all of the funders for their deep and continued commitment to the health safety net,” said Carmela Castellano-Garcia, President and CEO of the California Primary Care Association. “We have worked very diligently with our funders and the administrator of this program to make significant changes to the program that will result in a more streamlined process that will allow clinics and health centers to more quickly access the funds they need,” said Castellano-Garcia. Said CHCF president and CEO Mark D. Smith, M.D., M.B.A., "We are pleased to be able to once again support the community clinic emergency loan pool. With the passage of health reform, community health centers and clinics will have an even larger and more important role in providing health care in California and this pool is vital to ensuring that these important providers are able to continue to provide care." “Community health clinics play a critical role in the delivery of health care across Northern California, and in the past year, many have experienced an increase in the number of patients coming through their doors,” said Pat Fry, president and CEO of Sutter Health. “Patients and their families depend on these clinics to stay healthy. Sutter Health proudly contributes again to this innovative financing solution that will help keep clinic doors open and patients well.” “While community hospitals may deliver more than 70 percent of all health care in the U.S., the presence and financial health of local primary care clinics is essential to the health and wellbeing of all Californians,” said Lloyd Dean, President/CEO of Catholic Healthcare West. “We have committed to investing in this emergency fund because we believe that reaching people where they live, investing in prevention, and treating illnesses and injuries early, we can all enjoy better health at lower costs.” “We are pleased to help lead the California Primary Care Association to serve in the California Emergency Loan Fund partnership for a third year to help keep California health centers open through a difficult time,” remarked Terry Simonette, President & CEO of NCB Capital Impact. “We anticipate great demand for emergency loans this year due to the likely fiscal budget impasse, and will do what it takes to expeditiously review applications, disburse, and service the loans,” Simonette added. Press Release Contact: Statement on Behalf of the California Primary Care Association following the release of The Lewin Group report on the Governor’s proposed elimination of the Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) program. SACRAMENTO, CA – The California Primary Care Association issued the following statement following the release of the Lewin Group report, prepared for the Congress of California Seniors, on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposal to eliminate California’s Adult Day Health Care program: “The Lewin report makes very clear that it makes no economic sense for California to eliminate this vital medical program for California’s seniors. This program keeps our seniors in their homes, out of skilled nursing facilities, and away from other more costly forms of care,” said Elia V. Gallardo, Esq., Director of Government Affairs. “This program is about the quality life of our mothers, fathers, and grandparents and is a program that if eliminated, will cost the state more and not less, its elimination is irrational and inappropriate,” said Gallardo. ### Press Release Contact: Collaboration of Health Groups, Nurses, and Education Leaders Unite to Fight H1N1; A Mother Tells Her Story of Tragedy What: One mother’s loss as a result of H1N1 and the announcement of the

Vergara Contact: Dara Tom Governor’s Budget Proposal is the Perfect Storm that Will Lead to a Broken Safety Net SANTA ANA – A broad range of health care service providers and community members are calling on Gov. Schwarzenegger to halt his proposed $2.9 billion cuts to health and human services, a move that if implemented would destroy what little remains of the health care safety net. On Tuesday, Feb. 16 at 10:30 a.m., health care providers, patients young and old, educators, parents and other community members will raise their broken umbrellas at AltaMed Medical Group, 1400 North Main St. in Santa Ana, as a way to symbolize the perfect storm that will result if the budget cuts are implemented. “The Governor’s proposed budget cuts invite upon us a self-inflicted public health epidemic that will simultaneously make all of us more unhealthy and lead to even higher unemployment, or worse, clinic closures,” said Isabel Becerra, Chief Executive Officer of The Coalition of Orange County Community Clinics (COCCC). “The health care safety net is close to being permanently broken with the deep cuts made last year. Any more cuts and it will be irretrievably destroyed.” At the core of OC’s health care safety net stands a network of 21 non-profit community clinics and health centers (CCHC) that address daily the growing community need not only from low-income families, but increasingly from the unemployed, under-employed and working middle class families still reeling from the recession. Since the recession, OC CCHCs have seen a 40%-50% increase in the volume of patients requiring services. “Community clinics provide a vital service for so many people, not the least of which are the thousands of students at school-based health centers. It’s unconscionable for the state to turn its back on California’s children. Sick children equates to sick students missing class. The state should be doing more to support healthy children and successful students,” said Serena Clayton, executive director of the California School Health Centers Association. There are more than 150 school health centers in California, and most of California’s school health centers are located in urban areas. There are five school health centers within Orange County. Services include, but are not limited to, health screenings, immunizations, asthma treatment, dental screenings, mental health counseling, and reproductive health counseling and/or testing. This event is also supported by AltaMed Health Services, the University of California-Irvine Family Health Centers, Danbrook Elementary Health Center, Health Care Council of Orange County, Phoenix House, the Orange County Teen Pregnancy Prevention Coalition, and members of the Task Force on Access, Affordability and Advocacy.

Media Statement Contact: Sean South, CPCA: 916-273-0729 Health Centers Respond To Governor’s State of the State and Speaker Bass’s Comments About California’s Safety Net SACRAMENTO, CA – Carmela Castellano-Garcia, President and CEO of the California Primary Care Association (CPCA), released the following statement regarding Governor Schwarzenegger’s State of the State address: “California’s health centers are happy that Governor Schwarzenegger has decided to prioritize job creation and economic stimulation in his final year in office. We hope that his budget proposal on Friday will reflect that health centers are economic engines in our low income communities and save this state millions of dollars each year by giving the unisured and under-insured a medical home outside of our costly emergency rooms. ” In response the Speaker Bass’s remarks about the state of California’s safety net: “The Speaker’s statement that California’s safety net is in shreds couldn’t be more true. California’s health centers have endured two years of devastating budget cuts and are on the brink of catastrophe at a time when demand has never been higher. We applaud Speaker Bass for refusing any further cuts and hope the Governor and rest of the Legislature will follow suit.” CPCA is the statewide leader and recognized voice representing the interests of California community clinics and health centers and their patients.
