Northern Sierra Hospitals Leverage Relationships to Support Medicare

Who

  • Northern Sierra hospitals 
  • U.S. Reps. Kevin Kiley and Doug LaMalfa

What

The shift to a Republican-led administration in Washington, D.C., increases the influence of California’s nine Republican U.S. Representatives. Many hospitals in the Northern Sierra have long-standing relationships with two of these nine: Reps. Kiley and LaMalfa.  

Leaders from each hospital in the Northern Sierra were asked to speak with their representative to share how proposed cuts to Medicare and Medi-Cal would impact their communities.
