. >> clerk: jose bernal. >> my name's jose bernal. i'm seeking reappointment to the reentry council. i want to up lift the folks that are coming up here. it's not easy to speak about yourself. just to give you a little bit of history, me, my journey, what has brought me here today. i grew up in san francisco's tenderloin district. you know, growing up as a child, we moved around a lot, s.r.o. to s.r.o., relative's house to relative's house, and i grew up to a single mother. and most people will think, you grew up in the tenderloin, you grew up moving around a lot. most people would think you grew up under privileged and poor, but i would say i grew up privileged, very loving mother who worked hard to ensure that i grew up right. as a youth in the tenderloin, i did the best i could to stay out of trouble. inevitably, life happens, and i can tell you i made several mistakes. one day, i made a mistake, and i ended up getting incarcerated, and while incarcerated, i really went through it, i reallyy experienced a lot, was unsure what i was

at baby isabella who is the first baby born at the new mission bernal campus. everything there, with patient census appears to be steadily increasing and satisfaction from staff and patients alike. we're happy to have a successful opening under way. this is photos of the vaness campus which will open march 2n. it's when we'll transfer patients from the campuses to that new location. we have been awarded approval to staff and stock so we're getting our training schedule ready and a little later on in this fall, we'll begin training at the new vaness facility. these are photos. m.o.b. which went up much quicker than the hospital across the street. even still, with some tenant improvements going on, it looks like the m.o.b. might open just a bit later than the hospital. maybe the end of march. maybe if we can squeeze that schedule in the next six months, it will open at the same time. right on schedule. we showed this last year, just to make an over-arching view of the major transitions that we see. we're counting this as four major transitions and with the openin

the first is jose bernal. jose -- well, i've known all of these people for pretty much the entire time that i -- either i have been here and working for the city or they have been out of incarceration. so starting with jose, you've seen he is a phenomenal speaker. i have so say there was no one during the time that i was working at the reentry council that had the impact that jose has. he is a good listener, he has an enormous amount of patience, and he's an idea generator, and he knows how to build community consensus. but most important, he's not someone who's afraid to speak truth to power, and will not be intimidated but will always listen and change as things happen as if he needs to change, he will. i can't think of anyone who would be more qualified than jose to -- for -- and i think it's important that someone who's had one chance at the reentry council get another -- another bite at it because they -- it just takes some time to learn how -- how the whole thing operates. quickly, because i'm running ou

is scrambling to get doctors to move to mission bernal so they can fill those beds. in numerous meetings with cpmc over the weeks since this news came to light, the hospital should patients first and staff up during the transition period until the dust settles, however we staffed up for one woke and now we're going straight on regular ahead. it's been incredibly disruptive much it's unan fortunate occasion or lack of serious patient plan on the planning of cpmc. we urge the commissioners to discuss the important matters of patient safety that emerge in the hospital transitions. before cpmc repeats the same mistake in the opening of van ness, sutter meets t needs to pd and anticipate the moves on the patients and staff. for an example,s we were told by h.r. there would be no impact of the move of our unit to mission bernal, however, now the nurses on 4 north and 5 north have a lower pay. they're loosing jobs by loosing shifts. let me see. i have a couple more comments -- >> experienced at st. luke's. we expect that cpmc would listen to the nurses as you know suspend t

district. >> commissioner bernal, proceed.e proposed annual amount change. >> right. it was to amend the proposed annual amount without contingency to reflect the amounts that are in the unduplicated -- or the units of service section, if that's correct, i'm looking at -- where's michelle? is she here? yes. >> that's correct, commissioner, there were some of the numbers that were included in the first set of documents that went out that needed to reflect the correct numbers, and that was the modification. >> yes, and i think the clarification for that was while an equivalent f.t.e. was being added, that in fact, there were existing health workers who were then going out and being trained, given additional opportunity, therefore, to help when the disparrate district that's have dental health in the -- several districts. there was not just simply hiring one person who had spanish or cantonese, so i appreciate the opportunity, commissioner chung, to help elaborate on the contract, r. we increased the capacity of the health educat

did we do adequate outreach, which i think kind of piggy backs on the question from commission bernal. i don't know if anyone from staff today could actually answer that. particularly, i think answer the question from commission why we did not have retention data that have requested last year by our joint commissions. anyone from staff willing to answer that? >> in the mic, please. >> good afternoon. ken with oewd and we have our office that works and he will describe about the retention. >> good afternoon, commissioners. so, i have been working with cpmc for about five years. on compliance, looking at their hiring from first source hiring in particular, and this past late spring, we were provided retention data so i am on here to provide that to you today. there were 277 hires over the five-year period. 128 of those hires were terminated and 73 of those 128 were retained for 180 days. now, 180 days is a metric that is used in the workforce development field. six months obviously people don't and they come and go and there's a certain amount of turn but 180 days is considered a good m

luke's and the new bernal mission campus is providing. all i'm saying is that i just hope that as these programs have been moved -- and you're saying that some already have been moved, that maybe you sort of reflect on, in about three months or six months, i think, if, in fact, we are servicing and providing the quality that we've had a strong tradition of in this city, not only in reference to our community, our patients, but also in reference to places like san francisco general and others who you've always been a partner with us whenever there's a crisis, and we'll work together. you know, all i'm saying is i would certainly take a look at is there any way we could, you know, not change, but perhaps -- you talked about a continuum of care and continuum of access. let's think about it, and the quality your institution has provided in the city for all these years. i would hope you would increase that quality and community involvement and think about these things as you get underway in your new flagship. >> so commissioner, thank you for

i'm also president of the mission bernal association? i live on tiffany where the rock bar is? and i'm on the ground floor, and i barely hear voices coming down the street. walking home, i'm always greeted by the doorman if i'm walking in my neighborhood? i noticed the signs recently educating you to be quiet? in our neighborhood in the last four years, we've had a five-alarm fire, we have had m.t.a. come in with the red lanes, we've had construction, and i've been open 11 years. we had, like, nine years of construction. a lot of the construction have happened around rock bar and front porch? they were majorly impacted by the fire? so i feel like getting a limited live entertainment permit, they are able to kind of explore different ways to get more business through -- get more people through their doors, and it's a positive thing. we don't want to see anymore businesses close in our neighborhood, and people that are trying new business models, it's -- should be supported and -- okay. >> is that it? you've still got 30 seconds. >> well, i hope that you'll grant the permit. i kn

commissioner bernal? >> sure. my question is regards to the stigma pillar of getting to zero and undetectible versus untransmittable efforts. i know the big aids conference, they're asking departments of public health, other organizations to sign on with a declaration or statement in support of the findings. have we done that, as well? >> we have. >> we have been more integrating it into our message when it comes to the stigma. >> yes. tracey is actually launching a campaign within the health department of u = u. it's a program that's being launched in part of the same way the prep part was being done, we have a campaign, and i think that's being launched later this year. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner guillermo, did you have another question? >> i did, actually. this is a question for nicole. you had mentioned that in the slide that talked about the prep services that there were at least three contacts that somebody would make prior to actually starting the prep regiment. how do you track that there were thr

. >> thank you commissioner bernal. did you have something else. >> yes, thank you. for the opportunity to just add. i'd like to speak to the responsibility of serving residents the tenderloin. i understand this partnership is only less than a year in existence but when you look at the numbers, 180 versus a goal of 1500, that's only about 12% of that goal. and when you look at the residents of the tenderloin, serving them alliance with the priorities of the department of public-health and i'll use a presentation that we just received the other day about san francisco's getting to zero initiative. san francisco is exceeded in radically reducing the number of h.i.v. transmissions over the past several years far out pacing the rest of the country. we're about to see a leveling off now. where we're seeing the new infections continuing to happen, is among many of those populations. people who reside in the tenderloin. people who are marginally housed or homeless. people dealing with mental illness. people who use injection drugs. the data shows not only that even if someo

the bernal heights district is unique in that we have the hell which has one of the best views in alln francisco. there is a swinging hanging from a tree at the top. it is as if you are swinging over the entire city. there are two unique aspects. it is considered the fourth chinatown in san francisco. sixty% of the residents are of chinese ancestry. the second unique, and fun aspect about this area is it is the garden district. there is a lot of urban agriculture and it was where the city grew the majority of the flowers. not only for san francisco but for the region. and of course, it is the location in mclaren park which is the city's second biggest park after golden gate. many people don't know the neighborhood in the first place if they haven't been there. we call it the best neighborhood nobody has ever heard our. every neighborhood in district nine has a very special aspect. where we are right now is the mission district. the mission district is a very special part of our city. you smell the tacos at the [speaking spanish] and they have the best latin pastries. they have these s

commissioner bernal? >> yes, one last question. first of all, i appreciated seeing your citywide provider reporting forms and some of the new categories you added to that in terms of gender. one vulnerable and high risk population that i'm not seeing in here is people who engage in sex work. are you collecting data in that area, as well? >> in select clinical sites, that information is gathered, including at city clinic, which again is why we want to be able to maintain access to the city clinic data because often we don't get information that we have access to in the city. but that is not routinely put on that form, which includes 70 non-h.i.v. diseases as well as t.b. and all that, so we've had to make some choices about what could and could not about there -- be there, but we do agree with you. >> that includes city funded clinic or just city -- >> well, when i'm speaking of city clinic, i mean our sexual health clinic. it's a valuable tool for us understanding what's going on with sexual health. >> so the numbers all come from

i also want to acknowledge two of our health commissioners here: dan bernal and james loyce. thank you so much for being here and joining us on this special day.

many of the residents we heard in district 11, excelsior, outer mission, bernal heights, bayview-hunters point, over in the sunnyside, over in sunset, all the kind of southern -- twin peaks, have consistently had their homes barrages by airport noise, and this is unrelenting. i was the first member of this body to volunteer to be on the san francisco airport advisory board in eight years. i've sat in hearings where people are virtually losing their mind and their sanity. they come in tears, they come with distress. they come talk about how their children's lives have been disrupted and their peacefulness has been disrupted. and our airport has put aside enough money to possibly insulate and upgrade maybe ten homes in the entire peninsula area. so this is something that needs to be taken more seriously, so i'm calling for a hearing. i'd like the san francisco airport commission along with the leadership at the san francisco airport, along with the chair of the san francisco round table, and we've worked diligently with congress woman jackie speier. this is something that's near and dear t
