Only for Legals
Awesome! Thank you Adam
Great job Adam!!!!
Keep up the good work on behalf of the valley Adam.
That's great
Looking Good
Didn’t say one word about the billions, going to illegals.... pitiful, we have citizens, who could use that help.
Keep up the fight Adam !
Can we finally talk about using Castle AF Base to house our Homeless Veterans. If we're going to give free healthcare to illegals, we should at least put a roof over our Heroes heads.

WHY A MEDICAL SCHOOL IN THE VALLEY MATTERS
"The San Joaquin Valley has roughly 150 doctors per 100,000 residents. In contrast, San Francisco has 411 per 100,000 residents. You can see the dramatic difference that exists. This is one of the most underserved medical regions in the country," said Assemblymember Adam Gray.

The school would likely need $500 million to get started.

What a great news!!
Much needed, thank you Adam!!! We are hurting especially Endocrinology, Spinabifida and Neurology children to Adults. Key is Specialty doctors!
This is very exciting!
What I do think this can work for is helping inspire home-grown doctors. Those born and raised in the valley who want to stay here - this will allow them to be educated here and remain, if they want to.
We don't have jobs...we don't have a mall...we don't have activities for children/young adults, not even a play place for birthday parties, our roads suck and the price to buy a home is out of range for the average family but sure let's create a medical school. Maybe we could finally look forward to a decent emergency room!
I still see UCSF doctors because the level of health care. We need that same level in the Valley.
This makes sense but as a current medical student IN the valley who was raised in the Fresno area, attended CUSD schooling, and even attended the community college network in the area ... Where will these medical schools secure rotations? UC Davis and UCSF students already have contracts with UCSF-Fresno. Will Clovis Community, Kaiser, and Saint Agnes allow for rotations? Medical schools across the nation are having trouble securing sites for their students to rotate at and expand their knowledge the latter years of their schooling. This now makes the THIRD medical school supposed to be coming up in the pipeline for the Central Valley alone. There's a DO programs opening in Clovis. There's supposed to be another one in downtown Fresno sponsored by an out-of-country holding company. And now UC Merced wants to do one? I hope it all works out! Would love to teach there once I'm done! ;)

That’s so awesome
Thank you Adam Gray for making a difference.
Thank you UC Merced for leading the way for us to get more Drs in the San Joaquin Valley!!!
Are there medical assistant positions available at UC Merced ?
It's about time, we need more doctors. We are so limited. Emergency care awful here.
This is exciting News!!
Why did this AM Sun Star identify him as from Fresno ?
It’s a positive step up.
I agree, more funding and consideration for Native Californians. We are seven generation California born, but no free education for them.
Like me I need to drive to Fresno to study what I want in the medical field because there are no programs here on in Merced college and there is dumb waiting list plus they ask for too many prerequisites like hello I’m paying for the class !!!! It’s not free
They may come to go to Medical school and leave. We will still have the same problem My PCP is leaving the area because of low payments from insurance co's.
What is being done to address the issue of attrition? Physicians leave the valley for a number of reasons and it doesn't have anything to do with the lack of a medical school.
Agreed we need better healthcare however the valley has to make it attractive for physicians to actually live and stay.
Yes, we don’t have enough providers for the region/county.
Well I guess the price of housing here is going to really skyrocket which is going to result in an even bigger problem with the homeless. The robbery and burglary rates are going to go way up because people aren't going to be able to afford to live here and won't have anywhere else to go. I think this is just going to create chaos.
"“The Heritage Foundation is an incredible resource for local 4-H and FFA programs,” continued Gray. “We have them to thank for many local agricultural education opportunities and improvements to fair facilities.” Read More on this Story here: bit.ly/2WrhdIL #FFA #4H #Agriculture

What a useless waste of time and a misdirection of energy of people who might do some actual good
Liberals at it again
Waste of time and money. California has a hell of a lot more problems they need to address. Easy way to fix the smoking problem ? Take them all off the market!
