wondering how far has it begun in terms of public education it's probably the most safe and reliable source of conservatives for women but the numbers are low due to provider bias that it might increase project executes you might know that right. >> i'm wondering how much have we done in terms of public education and awareness around lark in san francisco. >> dr. a james. >> we're ableers there's no question about that so i believe to date 3 of our clinics have gloen the training it's a real clinic wide effort from the person answering the phone to you know the janitor everyone is on board we want to support women in those choices
11:01 am
so and then the rest of the clinics we're hoping to bring that over time we have 3 pioneers it started this they've doubted their rates of ivs and the public awareness campaign and you know, i think the h pc are v is something we've been successful not only for the young women but young men as well. >> dr. would you like to - >> dr. you wanted to say a couple of words. >> in terms of of the long acting we have a birth outcomes initiative that is going on right now it has two main strategies and one of them to improve the sergeant of lark and
11:02 am
this is focused on the disparity and access to family planning and lark for young african-american women so we are working with the initiative that's a collaborative with many partners including the clinics and this pilot project but there's a workshop that is focusing on lark in particular and the public education piece of it is on their agenda this is one of the main strategies with the idea we have to really focus on the health of the young woman and that's going to lead towards better birth outcomes for the family yeah, that's one thing i wanted to add. >> any other questions? >> i just want to make a couple of comments especially around those really personal stories that you all shared and it's
11:03 am
really heart living and when i look at the way that the community oriented prim care 52 percent of those patients of women i think that those become important as we continue to move into the ac a era when we look at the patient retention and outreaching and 345shg9d the services we provide i think there will be more and more opportunity with those stories to be shared, you know, so it's not necessarily the stories we hear about primary care (laughter) but 101 you've seen one of them it's important and i think that's part of what we haven't touched on how do we really
11:04 am
educate those who are eligible for our services that you know the transfer of the services we actually especially in this case it looks like it will be more women a than men ceasing those questions. >> i wonder if the director of the health would like to respond to our strategy. >> good evening, commissioners i'm roland director of the health network in terms of respond to the community i'm sure you're aware of the health network we're in the process of rolling out a marketing and branding campaign which you'll be hearing more about on the october 7th commissioner meeting but part thought is both an internal and external communications plan we worked for the last 6 months on the
11:05 am
external and now moving into the face of the overall community part of that will be the development of a newsletter that will be administered by the network and distributed to the patient who are assigned to our network same we're part of the san francisco health plan that actually has a robust communications system already in play so we'll continue to strengthen our partnership with them in terms of getting out the information of the services we provide. >> thank you so the other questions i have is the do those numbers include the other community clinics signatures martin and the free clinic and i see the deputy shaking his head and nate's that's our network by the way, u. >> because those are somewhat
11:06 am
of a speciality clinic so serving the women in the community do we see any value in creating a medical home oh. >> oh, absolutely some of the clinic consortium have a contracts with us but did you say larkin. >> no, no lion martin. >> lion martin has been absorbed by h.r. 360 with a large contracted they're a primary care clinic they've been providing speciality and hospitalizations so they're a vendor or contractor within our network. >> so in the future will we see their data included. >> probably through the health plan and so certainly we could share that information and get access to the health plan
11:07 am
providers and translate that to our network and that's something we can certainly is provide you. >> absolutely ze we have a strong collaboration with the san francisco clinic consortium we meet with them and the medical directors work together again, we provide the hospital care so they are we consider them part of the family we plan together and implement together and share data together. >> at this rate they'll out grow us first (laughter). >> i have one comment i think this goes to healthy san francisco when the date of the clients is important i notice it's mustard together with another organization i want to know if you can keep the data

11:10 am
comments about kind of a path forward for future moderation. >> i'll echo that a lot of us have discussed a lot of temptations and a new magnetically health system we ask our directors where it is to have the intersection and where it would be appropriate to report back to the commission to see the progress that's being made on the subject being made her here and other subject i'll invite both the 0 decorators to ma make their comments. >> thank you very much i want to say that 9 leadership has been meeting are director garcia on a fairly regular basis by 24

transit riders and proponent of measure b we're joined that i marty the chair of the librarian and a proponent thank you start with opening comments mr. straidz. >> measure b is a common sense approach times transportation funding for population groith growth muni that over recruited crowded and unreliable san francisco's grown that i 10 percent since 20033 and thank you for the opportunity u muni service is not kept up it pays for the muni service to reflect the growth by measure b will not there taxed it will pay for improvements to the prop money not being used 75 percent will pay for muni vehicles maintenance and for the repair
11:23 am
of the fleet and more buses and buses not all of measure b logo for the improvements 25 percent important measures to improve safety ordinance 8sdz street to pay for the measures the plan to eliminate traffic fatalities between 10 years we hope the voters agree that you're opening remarks thank you we've recommended in the libertarian party recommends a no vote because we speak about population growth, however, you population groerth in san francisco is abandonment to be more than reasonable and the reason for that is policies nowadays removes the market forces that keepsz the balances even so this will geology for example, our sewer system has
11:24 am
not been updated since the impoverishing we need first responders and schools all of those systems not tied to population so we have one tied to an unreasonable situation and st. is going to suck up fund from all the others fund there is so much in the pot we need to allocated it as well as we can. >> with that question what benefits will the passage of that bring to the motorists and to motorist i think the primary benefits relies to increase the traffic essentialist for bicyclists and pedestrians for everyone and the measure such as obnoxiously and the defined crosswalks and better signals and really that's the primary benefit for motorists, however, it that benefit the furrier cars
11:25 am
on the street the more people riding muni. >> how do you respond. >> i want to say because we have this didn't mean we have good planning or efficiency and what we're talking about here in my opinion is would be efficiency and for example, when we allocate money to safety bubbles or designing this and that what other jaend agenda are we talking about are we removing cars together on the street my point efficiency should come first, the ability to get paragraph move in a way to get to work there is no impedes funding is not the issue i think the issue is more efficiency and good planning. >> will this measure increase
11:26 am
the frequently of service is low income neighborhoods. >> thank you for your question a number of my colleagues and organizations have been working with the mta the muni transportation agency staff in the last year to develop an entity analysis an analysis of how whether there are inaccuracy in how it serves the minority in san francisco it will provide the fund to address some you know my means identified having an equitable analyze that has money to address the certifies that come up this is i see them as working hand in glove are the mta start to professionalism this year in providing resources to he'd what needs to be addressed. >> thank you r with or what are
11:27 am
you thoughts. >> do we need another layer of bureaucracies may be make sure that muni is seated by the neighborhoods it's aids simple as that we are talking transit crossroads and a completely different design than simply offering muni certifies to you'll neighborhood whether low income or whatever and again, we're not talking about in my opinion funding is not the issue we're just going to add layers of brursz await sufficiency we have muni asking for more money for the past how many years guarantee i don't see improvements you did we have 50 percent on time.
11:28 am
>> shouldn't we be working on this. >> it's time for financial thoughts ms. berry and we need to view it in the context of the entire city we cannot saw we need transportation yes, we need transportation we also need a whole and i way ray of other services i suggest voters think twice regarding the transportation growth and the transportation because all the other services are going to be left behind doesn't like for example, a very important we're addressing that with other proportion is so we need growth and the growth t is going to be particularly abnormal in san
11:29 am
francisco regarding the policies to engendered to remove the connective forces that keep everybody everything in balance. >> financial comments were when the voters established the transportation agency the mta was funded by setting up a fund for the transportation this was done to eliminate what they call the infighting and the set budget the system worked well but not quite well enough not to protect us for the cuts in 2008, and 9 the measure b tweaks the formulas to address the growth and keep up with the growth it supports the prourpgs zero for the fatalities in the 10 years
11:30 am
