And here is what they plan to spend it on:

Redefining "postpartum" as a year of continuous dyadic caresupporting both the mother's recovery and the infant's social-emotional development.

Leveraging women-centered modelsintegrating midwives, doulas, and behavioral health peers and professional directly into the care team to close unconscionable equity gaps.

So, how do we make this "RHT-ready"? In our TA work with FQHCs and CBOs across the state, we are urging leaders to look beyond the grant narrative and build a unified operating model through partnership. Success for this $233M investment will depend on:

1. Braiding Workforce Roles: Don't just hire more; extend the team you have (and may not know you have). Pair licensed clinicians with Community Health Workers (CHWs) and doulas, and when needed ECM and TCS, to support 0-5 families and manage care continuity.

2. Tiered Escalation: Replace "refer and hope" with explicit partnership agreements. Know exactly who handles Tier 1 universal services navigation versus Tier 3 wraparound perinatal crisis support, and ensure closed-loop handoffs every time.

3. A Digital "Nervous System": Technology can't just be a Zoom link, telehealth consult, or coaching app (all useful, true). It must include infrastructure that routes data AND patientsespecially vulnerable familieswhere they need to go. Make sure cross-system data sharing, Medi-Cal Connect, and HIEs/CIE's, feature prominently in design and implementation.

So, which of these initiatives actually addresses rural healthcare gaps?

I'm just thinking this shouldn't be something I'm spending tax dollars on.

No freaking clue, but I'm sure it looks good on paper.

I'm just stunned Gavin even acknowledges the rural (i.e., more likely conservative areas) should even get money and services. You know he's running for POTUS when.

This is a LinkedIn post. LinkedIn users are inherently ******ed. No one should take the word salad that is a LinkedIn post seriously.

Also, you know it's fake because there's no way California figured out what a woman is.

He didn't. The money is from a specific federal grant program tied to improving rural health care. And this is what they are doing with it.

But you could have exchanged banter with Divya Joshi MD MMM FAAP FACPE. I'm not sure what all those letters after MD mean, but apparently in addition to being a doctor they make her a healthcare executive, a visionary, a strategist, an innovator, a high EQ culture builder, and a humanist improving lives. I wonder how many patients she sees.
