Yee-Melichar appointed to the Cal MediConnect (CMC) Advisory Committee

Dr. Darlene Yee-Melichar, PACE-Gerontology Program Professor and Coordinator, was recently appointed to the Cal MediConnect (CMC) Advisory Committee of the San Mateo Health Commission. The Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM) serves the most in need.  HPSM programs serve one in five (20%) of all San Mateo County residents, representing diverse, low-income individuals and families, seniors, people with disabilities, and children with complex medical conditions.

HPSM’s mission is to ensure that San Mateo County’s vulnerable and underserved residents have access to high-quality care, services and supports so they can live the healthiest lives possible.  The CMC Advisory Committee’s role is to: 1) guide the strategic vision of HPSM’s CareAdvantage CMC program as it evolves; 2) review program policies and activities that impact members; 3) ensure adequate consumer protections are in place to protect members; and 4) make recommendations to the San Mateo Health Commission on ways to improve delivery of care and services.
