Bears coming to town, and they would call it the weekender. They would take the rvs and come in but some fly in as well. How did you experience your College Game Days . It was pretty exciting. I would come out once a year and id love to be there. We have the heated rhetoric. This is a big game for the bears. I did not expect the cal bears, even though i am a big fan, to be 30 at this point. If they are competitive i will be happy. We break it down later about the College Football. We will also talk about the iphone later because they are selling the iphone 8 today. People are standing in line. I cant think of anything i stood in line for maybe except for college for the concert tickets. You would for your children. I would if it had something to do for the kids, but not for an iphone. We will check in with Christien Kafton in San Francisco in a little bit.

What our advocacy is going to be at the state legislature and again very much like the past years the main focus for most of the directors is attrition and for us in San Francisco were so fortunate that we way over match in terms of dollars for nutrition but we know theres still a lot of food insecurities. A lot of triple as in california dont have over match. San diego makes do with what they have from them and its important for the directors to advocate for peoples basic needs and nutrition is something that lethors understand and get behind and we got money in the state budget but it was half of what we asked for and only reason we asked for 5 million and we got 2. 5 million so i personally and some of the directors have been advocating for us to increase that ask a lot so that if we get half of what we ask for maybe it will be more than what we got this year and we will continue to press on that. Today i am heading down to the Directors Association meetings in anaheim and a meeting
Function well. If that can be helped by the committee, that will be very helpful to mostly young patients. I would want to second that. I agree. I think if there could be because the specific needs of dialysis patients, it is such they are so unique to their disease in comparison to other disabilities. Also because its often so misunderstood by folks in the general public who again look at a person and they dont look like anything is wrong with them. Employment is a very big issue. I dont know if there could be a special department or some sort of support for folks who were on dialysis and either finding employment and also advocating for them with their employers as well that they are not being lazy, they are not cutting out of work early. There is a significant disability that they are coping with that is preventing them from working a normal schedule. That would be very helpful finding employment as well. Transportation absolutely and i would add greater access to Mental Health care
Yes. Thank you. I just wanted to thank our councilman kostanian for bringing this to council today. Your leadership and showing us not only the personal side of this issue but also the medical and social side has really helped us all understand a little bit more about your experience and also more about what we as a department and the council might be able to do to support you and others. So thank you. I would also like to mention that there are pamphlets and booklets and sheets of information about Kidney Disease on dialysis on the table. Please help yourself. Do we have any Public Comment . Anyone on the bridge line . No . Sure. Councilmember kostanian, part of the reason why you are bringing forward this issue today. I know in the past Council Meetings there have been discussions around transportation for dialysis patients, also with a possibility of them transferring to laguna honda. Can you speak on that as well . I just came off dialysis earlier today so im not with it all today.
