Monday Rx: Monterey Park Shooting, Healthcare Burnout Symposium, Safety Net Coalition and Calhealthcares Loan Repayment January 23, 2023 Calhealthcares, COSi, Downtown Los Angeles, Gun Violence, Healthcare Burnout Symposium, How to Build a Profitable & High Growth Business, Loan Repayment, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, Medicare, Monterey Park Shooting, Safety Net Coalition, San Gabriel Valley, Webinar, Workshop 766 Statement from LACMA President Dr. Omer Deen LACMA stands with the San Gabriel Valley Asian American community as they deal with a senseless tragedy. On behalf of our board of directors and nearly 7,000 members, we support the work of Congresswoman Judy Chu and her legislation to close loopholes in universal background checks to decrease the number of those who shouldn’t have guns. We also send prayers to our newest group partners, Allied Pacific IPA and Garfield Medical Center as they, too, have been impacted by this violence during the Lunar New Year celebrations. It is for these reasons LACMA is hosting a critical panel discussion on gun violence at next month’s burnout symposium at the UCLA Luskin Conference Center. It is my hope that all physicians and healthcare leaders attend.

Safety Net Coalition Kudos to Dr. Hector Flores and Dr. Omer Deen for supporting the Los Angeles County Safety Net Coalition, led by L.A. Care CEO John Baackes to address the issue of physician pay parity. The local safety coalition comprised of multiple stakeholders representing community clinics, private practices, reimbursement experts, and LACMA is now transitioning to a statewide effort to raise dollars for Medi-Cal providers. Stay tuned for more details as the fight for reimbursement balance continues. Welcome Back, Sheila Hoyer I wanted to welcome back Sheila Hoyer to the LACMA team after a few years of being on “hiatus”!
