📣URGENT ACTION ALERT! On Thursday, June 25, the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations will hold a hearing titled "State Medicaid Program Integrity: Examining Fraud Risks and Oversight Deficiencies."

California is one of only four states being called to testify, alongside New York, Minnesota, and Ohio. State Medicaid Directors from each state have been asked to appear before Congress as lawmakers continue a national conversation focused on Medicaid spending and allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse.

Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program.

For Californians with disabilities, older adults, family caregivers, and low-income individuals, this hearing raises serious concerns.

We need everyone in the community to send emails defending Medi-Cal (Medicaid) services and programs to the Committee Chair Congressman John Joyce at [email protected] (copy us at [email protected]) ASAP and SPREAD THE WORD!

Congressman Kevin Mullin, who represents constituents in the San Francisco Bay Area, is on this committee and will be representing California. To send you letter/email to Congressman Mullin, please email [email protected] and we will make sure he gets them before the hearing.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVOCACY!! Let's SAVE MEDICAID!

LANTERMAN 60 FOR 60 ~ HIGHLIGHT 25 OF 60 – Inclusion, Service Access & Family Resources

As we celebrate our 60 years of service, Lanterman Regional Center is proud to recognize its longstanding partnership with the Fred and June MacMurray Foundation - a Los Angeles-based private foundation dedicated to supporting community, religious and social service organizations.

We are deeply grateful for the Fred and June MacMurray Foundation’s continued collaboration. For more than 14 years, the Foundation’s generous funding has made the Strong Beginnings program an integral part of both the Koch-Young Resource Center and Lanterman Regional Center.

Strong Beginnings offers a comprehensive range of services, including specialized playgroups, parent training, early literacy family events, and a toy loan program. By engaging, educating and informing families, Strong Beginnings helps families better understand and support their child’s unique needs.

The Fred and June MacMurray Foundation’s generous support of the Strong Beginnings program is sincerely appreciated. Thanks to this lasting partnership, families across our community have the tools and support they need to help their children thrive from the very beginning.
