Message from the
Executive Director

In March of this year, our
Executive Director, John
Alexander, lead a team from
Merced County's ONE
VOICE  committee to speak
to legislators in Washington
DC about the challenges
facing patients and providers.

Funds for health care
advocacy and reform were
received by the consortium
from a grant sponsored by
The California Endowment.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our site and learn more about the
Merced County Health Care Consortium. I would personally like to thank
the Charter Members for their continued vision and commitment to
improving access and the quality of health care for the residents of
Merced County.

We have developed an exciting work plan for 2008 and have already
successfully secured funding for three projects. Please check the
projects page for updates on important issues that affect our roles as
health care providers. Health Care reform and the delivery of services
are going through significant change. We have  a real opportunity to play
a vital role in that process.

I look forward to your comments and input!

   John S. Alexander MBA, Executive Director
