“The action of the board today addresses serious concerns expressed by doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals regarding their ability to provide seamless care to county residents,” said Antonovich. “This vital step expands access to care and saves taxpayer dollars through enhanced efficiency in the county’s $7 billion healthcare system.”

The motion also directed the Interim Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, to convene an Integration Advisory Board, or IAB, made up of a broad cross section of stakeholders including the public health, hospital, alcohol and drug, and HIV commissions as well as consumers and organized labor unions.

“This will provide independent oversight of the performance and effectiveness of the newly formed Health Services Agency,” Antonovich added.
