The rate of visits per 1000 patients was calculated by summing all visits each month across health centers and dividing by 1 731 326, which is the sum of all unique patients seen across all health centers in 2019. Primary care visits were defined as visits delivered by primary care clinicians including physicians (internal medicine, pediatrics, and family practice), nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Behavioral health visits were defined as visits delivered by specialty behavioral health clinicians credentialed by the health center. For 2 participating health centers, in-person visit volume was imputed for February through April 2019; these data were missing due to changes in electronic health records.

A majority of Californians are ready and willing to get the coronavirus vaccine, a new poll conducted by the California Health Care Foundation found.
But many groups remain hesitant.
About 71% of state residents contacted by the organization as part of a California Health Policy Survey said they would “definitely” or “probably” get vaccinated; while 13% said they would “probably not,” and 16% said they would “definitely not.”

Jan. 28 A majority of Californians are ready and willing to get the coronavirus vaccine, a new poll conducted by the California Health Care Foundation found.
But many groups remain hesitant.
About 71% of state residents contacted by the organization as part of a California Health Policy Survey said they would “definitely” or “probably” get vaccinated; while 13% said they would “probably not,” and 16% said they would “definitely not.”
The survey, conducted between Nov. 19 and Jan. 12 and published on Thursday, began fielding results before the Food and Drug Administration issued emergency use authorizations for both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
SACRAMENTO
As intensive care units filled and coronavirus cases surged over the holidays, Carmela Coyle invoked a World War II-era quote attributed to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to rally her own troops: “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
Coyle is head of the California Hospital Association, and her “troops” are the highly paid hospital executives she represents. Throughout the pandemic, as in the December memo in which she quoted Churchill, she has employed battlefield rhetoric to galvanize their massive political and financial clout.
That’s because Coyle believes hospitals are quite simply “in battle conditions” a sentiment she has impressed upon the state’s top healthcare officials.
