Plan now to make sure that San Mateo medical personnel and facilities will be able to provide first class medical care to all county residents when Congress passes and the President signs medical reform legislation.
The closure of the Coastside Family Clinic earlier this year in Half Moon Bay focused attention on the fact that medical care is not readily available to all county residents, particularly those who lack mobility because of disabilities, cannot drive, or live in remote areas.
Planning and preparations are also needed to deal with the potential influenza A (H1N1) pandemic that may hit this fall. – Avis Boutell

School gardens provide students with hands on knowledge about biology, nutrition, the importance of healthy eating, food preparation and the benefits of eating locally-grown foods.These programs can build support for improving the quality of school lunch programs and teach kids how to work cooperatively to achieve a common goal.
The HEAL program, currently active at Hatch Elementary in Half Moon Bay is one example.
