Sacramento County Proposes Cuts to Health Programs

Sacramento County has proposed an additional $54.5 million in cuts from its general fund budget it approved in June, most of which are to the county's health and social services programs. The cuts include funding to community health clinics and eliminating the crisis unit and half the beds at the county's Mental Health Treatment Center.
