Stimulus and Health Care: Where will the money go? They say “the devil is in the details,” and the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is full of them. But some of what California stands to gain through the stimulus package could be compromised by the state’s recently approved budget. The good news is California’s safety-net system of federally qualified community clinics will receive much needed funding for expansion, as well as dollars earmarked for the building of new clinic facilities. One thing is clear though: California will face challenges meeting the short timeframe for putting those funds to good use.
A panel of experts moderated by Daniel Zingale at The California Endowment's Center for Healthy Communities discussed opportunities for innovation in health that could come out of the stimulus, as well as where the money will go and what California stands to gain from it.
Moderator:
Daniel Zingale, senior vice president of Policy, Communications and Public Affairs, The California Endowment
Panelists: Jeremy Cantor, program manager, The Prevention Institute J. Mario Molina, M.D., president and CEO, Molina Healthcare, Inc. Gloria Rodriguez, president and CEO, Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County Click here to view the discussion

Dennis Hunt, former Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs for The California Endowment |
New Fund for Health Journalism Now Accepting Applications through July 22, 2009
The Dennis A. Hunt Fund for Health Journalism is named for Dennis A. Hunt, a former Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs at The California Endowment, California’s largest, private health foundation. Throughout his tenure at The Endowment, Dennis had an enduring commitment to high-quality journalism on the critical health issues facing California. Dennis also co-founded the USC Annenberg/California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships Program, which increases the capacity of journalists to cover pressing health and community health policy issues facing underserved communities. The fund is comprised of memorial contributions by Hunt’s friends, colleagues and family.
The fund is offering grants of between $2,500 and $10,000 this year to print, broadcast and new media journalists to support ambitious investigative or explanatory journalism projects on community health and community health policy issues. The fund will support projects that examine the effects on a community's health of factors such as poverty, health disparities, pollution, violence, land use, urban development, access to health resources and access to healthy food, among others. Joint projects between mainstream and ethnic/community media are encouraged.
