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.
