From Assemblymember Luz Rivas Desk – Honored to join the Kaiser Permanente Hippocrates Circle Middle School Physician Mentoring Program Graduation

My team was honored to join the Kaiser Permanente Hippocrates Circle Middle School Physician Mentoring Program graduation. The Hippocrates Circle Program (HCP) was created to inspire youth in our communities to pursue careers as physicians. The goal is to motivate middle school students to finish high school, pursue higher education, and eventually achieve their goal of being a doctor. I am proud of all the young and bright students who are preparing to be the next generation of physicians.

From Assemblymember Luz Rivas Desk – Thank you to FundaMental Change for Inviting me to your 4th Annual Mental Health Symposium

Thank you to FundaMental Change for inviting me to your 4th Annual Mental Health Symposium. I was honored to share the stage with some of our elected officials and mental health experts to echo the importance of mental health awareness.

This year’s theme was “Moving Forward Together with Purpose”. This theme fits well after two years of being cooped up in our homes from the pandemic. Trauma from COVID-19 had a negative impact on our mental health. Some experienced financial loss, struggled to find a new job and had difficulties paying rent. Some individuals were able to seek the help they needed, but others were not able to due to lack of resources.

I am proud of the great work FundaMental Change is doing to raise awareness, eliminate the stigma, and provide supportive services to people living with mental illness. I will continue to support our organizations doing the work to help our communities with mental health. You can count on me as an ally.

Thank you to FundaMental Change for inviting
