a few years ago we partnered to care for the underserved population in san francisco. we are caring for approximately 30% of the entire san francisco population. i believe the proposed campus will allow our patients to access a world-class stage of the art facility and to allow accessibility for the patients who live in the community. i look forward to the partnership and that we are able to serve the additional patients health care reform will bring. i support the rebuild, and i encourage you to as well. >> i am going to call a few more names. [list of names] >> supervisors, a good evening. good i am a program director of the san francisco foundation curator of i oversee our portfolios and community houseah policy. our message is to help oversee strong communities and promotes philanthropy. the san francisco foundation has had a focus on the health of the community, in particular combat during disparities with communities of color and lgbt dcommunities. we have tried to help the most vulnerable triggered our mission is also to improve the lives of underprivileged or v

we really see the reach of this, not only taking people into other underserved communities, but really redefining what tourism is. it is such a huge moneymaker for the city, but also, we are now attracting locals and other people who would not necessarily think to go on a tour or to pay for an experienced to now pay for them. >> we see a really wide variety of those that are part of our community. you might think often people think that college students would be out running around town doing errands, and from the beginning, that was never the case. the first big learning i had when i launched the business. we have stay at home moms that are out running their own parents anyway and not mind picking things up for people. young professionals looking to supplement their incomes nights and weekends. san francisco is an extensive place to live. if they could make a few extra bucks on the side to help supplement their rent, then all the better. we have this amazing group of retirees that love the idea of staying active, helping other people in their community, so we look for a wide variety of

everyone here knows the excelsior is a very underserved area. we wanted to open our doors there and serve the community. because we are so close to county lines, we are able to serve uninsured adults and alleviate some of the stress on the safety net for both counties. in terms of who we see currently, about 53% of our patients are from san francisco. 54% are over the age of 4375% of our patients are immigrants. -- are over the age of 40. 75% of our patients are immigrants. it is a diverse area of our city. 49% of our patients are hispanic. 35% of our patients speak spanish and 13% speak cantonese. we do provide multilingual services and we have both bilingual volunteer providers and interpreters always available. in terms of our services, janet mentioned we are not a walk-in clinic or honor system clinic. we are a medical home model. which provide comprehensive care. each new visit, the patients received a medical health exam as well as a mental and dental exam. anything from additional employment support to being a care provider for a relative

they cut mental-health services and laid off front-line employees who are underserved. we need community benefits in order to -- thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. next speaker. >> my name is tatiana. regretfully, one doctor is not able to be here, but i am here to speak on his behalf. supervisor mar: so any objections to have tatiana speak on his behalf? go ahead. >> i was the former chief of plastic surgery and hand surgery for 15 years at st. luke's. such organization has been granted non-profit status and as such benefits would taxes. in return, sedar must provide charitable services in the public benefit appropriate to the needs of the community and in a proportion that is commensurate with the tens of millions of dollars which accrue to sedar due to its tax-exempt status. use of that surplus income related to the nonprofit status should be applied to the direct needs of the community. the determination of those needs should involve a panel of physicians and other patient care advocates to establish the determination of need, as they have a conflict of interest.

we will protect and expand health services for the poor and underserved. thank you for the opportunity to talk with you. now with like to introduce david came to talk about the program from the facilities standpoint. >> could we have the screen again? cpmc's plant in visions five new buildings. each one is sophisticated designed to support a specific program. they will complement the character of existing neighborhoods. the neurosciences institute davies campus will improve public access to the campus through a new accessible concourse. the lower podium height establishes an appropriate street skill. the upper level of the building is set back and turned 90 degrees and provides pedestrian linkages to the existing facility. looking south, a small corner garden provides access to the lobby congress. the upper setback for is not visible from this vantage point. at van ness and geary, the new building will provide enhanced public realm. the hospital is bounded by street. looking south of the corner of van ness, it rises along the southern edge of the site. the

>> well, we wanted to do something to help the underserved -- some of the underserved girls in the community, and we thought about what's a good way to do that and what are the issues that are important to girls, to teenagers. and so that's why we started the answer. >> really the answer provides full wigs to young girls who probably have suffered from cancer or some other debilitating disease, that it's taken their hair. i know a little bit about wigs. and when you're a teenager, your look is so important to you. >> absolutely. so these wigs, let me tell you a little bit about them. they're fully individually customized to fit that individual. so we work with them, find out what they want, what looks good on them. and when we think about a lot of the issues that young girls are dealing with today, we know that hair is really important. >> oh, yes. >> they're already dealing with the challenges of addressing a very serious illness. so let's help them to build their self-esteem so they look good. it helps them to deal with their illness as well. >> you probably have noticed -- i know i have o

. >> o'brien: that's a lot of underserved people. >> so the result is that only 25% of medicaid-eligible children get any kind of dental care. and by any kind of dental care, i mean one visit a year. >> dentistry is, in fact, a business and in order for a dentist to survive, they need to be able to make money. >> o'brien: dr. cesar sabates is a practicing dentist and president of the florida dental association. >> i looked into becoming a medicaid provider because i do believe in giving back. and i noticed that the reimbursement schedule was dismal, to be quite honest with you. it was maybe 20% of what we would normally charge. so i thought to myself, "this doesn't make any sense. it's not the dentists' fault." >> o'brien: but whoever's fault it is, trinity way's dental care will now cost $18,000. >> pennies on the dollar, preventive services on medicaid rates would cost between $50 and $60 a visit. >> o'brien: pay me now or pay me later. >> that's exactly right. and then in addition, you don't have the pain and suffering. you don't have the missed school days. you don't have the missed

the state and you are allowed to add a certain amount of adjoining districts to ones that have underserved populations and it is largely the eastern half of the city. >> we have a lot of people to participate in the program? >> to date, the total number of businesses that have taken advantage of the program is 1222, 25% decrease from last year. we can only attribute that to the slow economy and businesses being less aggressive about hiring. we have also had in the last three years massive outreach on this program, so we think we have reached a saturation point for those businesses that were previously unaware of it. it's a program that allows you to retroactively get state income tax credits. once businesses are aware, they can look back and see if the have qualified expenditures or qualified hires. it is just anecdotal but we think we have reached a lot of businesses that we may see a smaller number as new businesses are eligible. with regards to america's cup, we have a proposed budget next year of $10 million, down from a 12 million we had originally budgeted this year. that number is p

many reports show that underserved, and uninsured patient stays sufficient barriers to act as special the karen -- a specialty care. not an awfuenough take from pros who rely on inefficient services and patient interaction. cpmc can stop these problems by building a full capacity hospital. >> let's go to the next speaker. goo>> good afternoon, superviso. my name is gary brown. i am from district 10. i lived in the area since 1969. gooit was overcrowded, so they t me to st. luke's where these nuns were ouat. it was strange, but it was nice. i have a daughter born in 1987 during you. i have seen a change were my wife has gone on with pancreatic cancer. we went back to st. luke's, and they could not do the job in february, but they sent her to ralph k. davis. she stayed there zero weeks. they charged us money and transferred her to california pacific. they charge more money for transferring her your yo. what i am trying to say is i think we should keep st. luke's open because of the time it takes to get to the other hospital could be time to savor life, -- to save a life, and i would lik

so many of you represent the health and are underserved neighborhoods. it has created a beautiful haven in neighborhoods that will only continue to flourish. they demonstrated community partnerships can create extraordinary work zeroth. all of this demonstrates the power this garden will have on the community. this would not be possible without the volunteers who have made it a reality. congratulations and best regards, nancy pelosi. >> i feel like and billy crystal at the oscars. good eveninthe next person i woo introduce is stephen. steven is going to talk about our grow 1000 program. goo>> i get the best part of the presentation, which we will get to in a little bit, but frankly i prepared some comments. this is our inaugural kicked off a. rather than try to explain, i thought a show of hands might be more oopprobrium. anyone living here, raise your hand. the work and you started fostering the community through gardening efforts, things you have already started, that is what it is for us, providing more support, providing more opportunities for the re

what we feel is that, especially when you are dealing with underserved populations, you have to step back and think that these people are not only underserved probably from a dental perspective, but also from a medical perspective. so we don't understand why anyone would want a lesser-trained individual dealing with that population. >> o'brien: really, are they undertrained? i mean, it seems like they go through a fair amount of training and a couple thousand hours of direct supervision by a dentist. >> they go through training, but to compare that training to the training of a dentist? in my eyes, you just cannot do that. >> o'brien: to some degree, if i'm poor and i have a toothache, you know, half a dentist or 70% of a dentist is better than zero. >> our con >> there are already models that exist that are used within the system that we have in this country. we have trained auxiliaries that assist dentists in performing a lot of those duties. our concern is the idea of a lesser trained individual doing surgical procedures. >> i don't know why anyone would want to oppose a very well

building to hospitals at the same time to protect and expand health services for the poor and the underserved in our community. what is this all about? this is about building rooms like this and you can see the single-patient rooms, this is a major improvement for the care that we can provide. i would now like to address one of the more controversial issues that came up today. the news of the updated tenure plan is correct, but it is important to realize that these are projections and nothing more. we make financial projections on a regular basis. we have the utilization and to a lesser extent, escalating costs. since we began this process, this has a less robust look into the future. we have the obligation to be fiscally responsible so that we can rebuild a hospital to meet the demand and continue to deliver the highest quality care. i want to make clear these do not alter our commitment to invest for the new hospital. our new 10 year projections, while less optimistic, do not show us in reaching region -- do not show us breaching. this will be critical to our ability to provide comprehensiv

stores will create about 1800 new jobs, and they will provide access to healthy, affordable food in underserved areas. the stores are not set to open until late next year. some bad news about the u.s. economy. the government announced this morning unemployment rose in may to 82 -- to 8.2% as employers only created 69,000 jobs. the labor department says the economy created fewer jobs in march and april than previously believed. that has caused stocks to sell off. at one point the dow was down more than 225 points earlier today. right now it is down 220. a powerful congressman wants to delay construction of a monument to president eisenhower near the national mall. california's darrell issa says questions about the design have to be answered before the final version is approved% several groups have objected to the look of the monument, including members of the former president's family. for the first time, but tons of's newest flagship aircraft left frankfurt germany scheduled to touch down at dulles airport in about 30 minutes. the boeing 747-8 will provide travel from our area to frankfurt. it

mayor and supervisors to invest in workforce programs which provide job training and placement to underserved populations. would you all please stand, those of you hear from job- seekers? [applause] thank you, everyone. >> to hear from more people than we thought. the next people, i call ron parker, crystal, rico, george, candice davis, and -- if you can get ready to speak. >> hello. i am ron parker with the homeless outreach team, here to advicate for the services of the disenfranchised of san francisco. cutting the money to e.c.s., decimating my program, it makes no sense in times of bad money to make it worse. you have more people on the street, more people sicker on the street, ocean -- a woman's place dropping center is one place a non-traditional family can go to, to go to the bathroom and take a shower. hospitality house does great work. we also do an incredible job. the loss of $600,000 would take the outreach team off the street. and it would cost outreach managers. think -- speak for those who can't speak for themselves. thank you very much.

background on the sharing economy working group and how you think it benefits san francisco, including underserved communities. >> it is historic we are being thoughtful, looking forward in shaping the policies. mayor lee and board president david chiu and the supervisors announced the sharing economy working group. the idea is to look at the issues at play as well as understand the benefits of the sharing economy, whether environmental or economic. you can see with the companies that there is tremendous dahlia to society. it is getting ahead of the curve so that we're not applying outdated rules to a new approach. earlier legislation did not imagine some of these companies. who would have thought there would be peer to peer car sharing. it is transformative. we have a role to play from a city hall perspective to nurture and understand the space better to resolve some of the tensions. >> cars sharing is interesting. cars in america are iconic. we identify the good life with them. i wonder what don draper of "mad men" would say about car sharing. he would say "no way. c-- "no way." >> we are going

we are establishing computer centers to get under privilege and underserved people connected to the internet and to broadband services and training and technology so they can utilize the skills. we continue to work with departments to redesign their websites, develop applications for them, and give them the support they need as they implement new technologies. a lot of these new projects you hear about out there that are essential like online forms for the treasurer and tax collector and assessor. there would not be successful if we did not manage the systems behind-the-scenes said that the data center was available at the network was available and things like that. i am happy to report because we have got some great leaders and brake hard workers, a lot of the funds your allocated went to developing and supporting these new technologies. that resulted in a number of awards and recognition at a national level especially around the things we're doing with social media and interacting with the public through facebook and the mobile applications we have launched on the iphone and android phone
