Measles is prevalent this season, with instances in the Bay Area, Washington state, New York, and other places.
Measles can spread quickly in communities where people are not vaccinated. Children and anyone else who is not protected against measles is at risk of getting infected.
The Centers for Disease control has posted information for parents about how to protect their children from measles.
Every 10 years, the federal government is required to count all residents in the United States, citizens and noncitizens alike, through a national census. The next national census is in April 2020. The information is used to make sure everyone is equally represented in our political system and that government resources are allocated fairly, including those that support your health.
SMC Health is deeply concerned about the proposed changes to federal immigration rules called “public charge,” which define how an immigrant resident’s application to enter the country or receive a green card is assessed, and the potential impacts on the public health.
The proposed changes significantly expand what public benefits are considered as public charge (e.g., Medi-Cal, CalFresh, public housing or Section 8 vouchers). The County is engaged in advocacy around these issues through the Board of Supervisors.
SMC Connected Care is a Health Information Exchange (HIE) used for the electronic sharing of health-related information for patients and clients receiving services from the San Mateo County Health System.
