Leaders Commit To Boosting Sacramento Health System
At a Sacramento Region Health Partnership meeting on Thursday, community and health care leaders committed to strengthening the region's health care system by 2014, when the demand for health care will increase as an estimated 225,000 residents gain insurance under the Affordable Care Act. The Sierra Health Foundation pledged $3 million to boost the efforts, which experts said should include raising clinical staff levels and capacity, and community outreach.
