Ventura County Human Services Seeks To Hire Additional Staff

Ventura County Human Services Agency Director Barry Zimmerman is seeking authorization from the county Board of Supervisors to hire 61 new staff members, most of whom would oversee applications for Medi-Cal and Healthy Families. Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program and Healthy Families is the state's Children's Health Insurance Program. Zimmerman said approval would reduce burdens on employees and allow staff members to continue delivering quality services.
