California’s Assembly Health Committee, led by Assemblymember Mia Bonta, held a hearing last week focused on diversity in California's health workforce. CHCF Associate Director Kathryn Phillips presented workforce gaps data and shared why a representative workforce improves patients' health care experiences. Among the takeaways shared by Phillips and other partners: 5 of the state’s 9 regions fall below minimum national standards for the supply of primary care providers. 11 million Californians live in a Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Area, and 2/3 are Latino/x, Black, or Native American. California has underinvested in health education and training and lacks the capacity to train needed physicians and nurses. Investing in pipeline programs that recruit and support students is key to building a diverse workforce able to meet patients’ needs. https://lnkd.in/gzkBpiAz
