Here today and for all of your messages of support throughout my youth of the year journey. Your encouragement has truly meant so much to me. This journey is not something that happened overnight. Throughout this process, i spent many weeks away from the city, spent many nights working 12hour days, doing my come and coming back just in time to get to class. By the time i finished Elementary School i saw the beast of poverty. I ran out of fingers to count the youth in my community that lost their lives to gun violence. The club made sure to stay open the nights of shootings, making it so we would have a caring and dependable place to go when it wasnt safe to go home. The club gave me a place where i could be my authentic self. The club showed me the power of a good education and encouraged me to go into private school. It wasnt easy. I found my sense of self slipping away as i switched between environments, but i could always find myself back at the club, a place i didnt have to alter w
Fellow friends, hundreds of other legitimate, certified massage therapist providing Wonderful Service in San Francisco have to dig into some savings accounts that we may or may not have for thousands of dollars of fees to pay for a Health Permit that we had no idea was necessary, number one, and number two, i kind of want to have a reeducation about who we are. This may be an issue for the city and for the nation as a whole, but why is the Health Department going after california certified massage therapists who have Business Licenses and who are doing business in the city. I am my only breadwinner, this is my business, this is my livelihood. I am asking for knowledge about that and maybe for the commissioners reflection on what it would feel like to get a letter to say dont come to work tomorrow, no paycheque, thousands of dollars of fees for you to pay before you can go back to work, if you can go back to work. And the most expensive city in the united states. Thank you. Good afterno
Of you. I dont have it in front of me so i cant remind you of things. There are two meetings that are coming up with the Planning Commission, one is october, and again i dont have the date in front of me. It is a thursday. You will all be discussing yes, thank you, in december 12 th is another day that you will be looking at the healthcare Healthcare Service master plan. Those are the two unusual dates coming up. There are two items. One would be the request that we do what we can to respond to the family of brandon lee so that i dont, i dont know what the department is doing, but doing what you can to see if there is any support that can be provided to bring him and if it is possible to authorize a statement of support on behalf of the San Francisco resident and his family, who has dedicated themselves to San Francisco. The second would be with regard to the cease and desist order to the massage therapists, im just wondering if there is administrative relief that we can do, even thoug
We will actually put out a request for proposal for an expert to actually come in, do an assessment of laguna and help inform in terms of its current state, and perhaps where it needs to go in terms of being a worldclass, longterm care and rehab facility. In focusing on both short and intermediate and longterm, and we actually internally have documents that break out what those things are. They are just not in what you received today. Thank you. Yes, thank you for your report and thank you for the draft. It was a very good summary of the findings, and the work that you have thus far done. That credit goes to the quality team for putting that summary together. You could see it is in a format that you are familiar with. I think it shows that you have summed up the issues that we are all facing. I do think that the draft needs more of a timeline, and i think that the issue that we have before us is just as important as when we were building the building, where we followed carefully what t
Any other comments from the commission . Seeing none, motion to adopt the minutes. So moved. Is there a correction . Second. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Great. There is no Public Comment for that item. Item three is the directors report. Good afternoon, commissioners im the director of health. You have the directors of the commission in front of you. I just wanted to highlight a few things including some things that i feel that you have done well but were not written here there are number of articles focused on ensuring that whatever beds are available in the system, maybe are available for people who are living on the streets, and just to reiterate, it is part of that work at zuckerberg General Hospital. There have been a number of unoccupied board and care beds for a number of years and those are being converted into hummingbird type model beds. 207 beds Going Forward. I want to emphasize that no clients are losing housing as a result. No one is losing a job, and t
