December 17, 2019

Today Governor Gavin Newsom appointed Sandra R. Hernández, MD, president and CEO of the California Health Care Foundation, to the Healthy California for All Commission.

In response to the appointment, Hernández issued the following statement:

“I am honored to serve on the Healthy California for All Commission and to be part of a distinguished team of leaders charting our state’s health care future. I have spent my career in pursuit of universal coverage and deeply believe California has what it takes to ensure that everyone has access to affordable care. I look forward to learning and contributing — along with my fellow Commissioners — about ways to get the best care and the most value for everyone.”
