Supervisors Want More Diversity Among County Doctors (egpnews.com)

Dana Brown (PACEs Connection Staff) 7/22/178:59 AM

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to diversify the pool of doctors working at county hospitals, trauma centers and health care facilities.

Supervisor Hilda Solis proposed coordinating with labor unions to recruit more culturally and linguistically competent physicians to staff the second largest municipal health care system in the nation.

By ensuring that our physicians are as diverse as the patients they see, we place a strong emphasis on effective and culturally appropriate services, Solis said. This is about hiring and equipping our local working men and women with the leadership, training and skills needed to best serve the needs of our diverse communities.
