From Assemblymember Luz Rivas Desk – Proud to Introduce ACR 133 – A Girl To Engineering Day!

Today is one of my favorite days to recognize in the Legislature, Introduce A Girl To Engineering Day! I was proud to introduce ACR 133 to recognize this special day that encourages young girls and women to become engaged in the STEM field.

When I was studying to be an engineer, I did not have many female role models and I was constantly one of the only women in the room and almost always the only woman of color. That’s why I started DIY Girls because I know that young women are just as interested in STEM as young men.

As a leader in engineering and as a champion of gender equality, California can continue to lead the way in empowering young women to pursue careers in engineering.

I want to thank Miranda Patton, Taylor Kanaan, Lindsey Angell, Cameron Knudson, Anna Tekautz, Rick Moor, and Susan Wilson for joining me today as I introduced ACR 133!

Today is one of my favorite

From Assemblymember Luz Rivas Desk – Providence Holy Cross Surgery Center Tour

Last month, I had the opportunity to visit the Providence Holy Cross Surgery Center – Mission Hills!
The team from Providence Holy Cross Surgery Center, which is affiliated with the California Ambulatory Surgery Association (CASA), gave me a tour of the facilities and information about the services they offer their patients.

Their team also shared about some of the challenges their facility encountered during the COVID-19 outbreak, all while attempting to prioritize the safety of their patients. Some of the most complex procedures such as joint replacement and spine surgery are two of the most demanding procedures performed in AD-39.

Thank you, Providence Holy Cross Surgery Center and CASA, for giving me a behind-the-scenes look at your facility!
