Was about many topics including Climate Change and gun violence. Thank you. Is this a visual stump. Thank you for joining, and thank you, jerry, and the fantastic organizers and volunteers like sarah whose job is to invite you and get to know you and be part of the change we are making for the country. I am here to listen and have a conversation about what you think is most important, but i want to make sure that we dont miss the opportunity to share the vision of this campaign. I am seeking the presidency in order to respond to the crisis that has come over our country, a crisis that is even bigger than the one represented by the presidency that we are living through. Now, dont get me wrong, i definitely believe that we cant go on with four more years of the president that we have now, and recognize the america that we live in and that we love, but, i also think that we wouldnt have a president like the one that we have got right now unless there were something more serious going on i

Comment. Okay commissioner melara. Yes. A couple of places ilene im familiar with the case by it would be good for the commission that dont know about this its a great bottle to say in San Francisco.

Were doing the transition from hospital to home and there are i think takes we do Home Delivery meals and its a natural fit but it was great to see come out of the Community Partners as a recommendation. You can really look at some of the other recommendations and their pretty well clear. I wanted to highlight a little bit related to training for caregivers and also the recommendation related to helms and Dementia Research thats another initiative that the county is undertaken. Weve got a longterm Strategic Plan that relates to dementia in our county and other places have begun to use this for an example this data has found its way into the data this is a population that is growing rapidly. For us we see consistency with the recommendations here as weve seen in other plans as well. Backing up a minute youll see a list of some of the items. That determined to be crucial elements of a
Oversight Committee Just how we framed all the work but again, the Health Department and others were involved in all the work. Ill have ilene talk about the work and ill talk about some of the recommendations. You dont have a clock in the front so heres my watch to stay within the time thank you for the opportunity for the information for the plan. Im with the Citizens Health care and chair the group with another colleague. As ann mentioned it started with the initiative from the longterm care cooperate council but under the leadership of looking ahead with the ac a and the work in the state and how to better prop prepare for that with funding and support the coordinating group was created its the Long Term Services and support as ann mentioned were talking about older and young adults with disabilities and when we talk about Long Term Care integration were talking about institutional and Community Based services.
