Head of Health Care Services Looks Back on Tumultuous, Fruitful Years

Toby Douglas, director of California's Department of Health Care Services, plans to retire as head of the agency in January. California Healthline sat down with Douglas recently to ask about the changes he has seen, and overseen, in his time in office.

In a California Healthline report by Rachel Dornhelm, the director of the Department of Health Care Services, Toby Douglas, reflects on his 10 years of work at the department, the last four as director. Douglas has presided over the expansion of Medi-Cal, which has added two million Californians to the program, and a shift of about 80% of the state’s Medi-Cal ranks from fee-for-service to managed care plans. Douglas will retire as director in January (Dornhelm, California Healthline, 12/10).
