The Los Medanos Health Advisory Committee was established by the Board of Supervisors in July 2018 as part of the plan to dissolve the Los Medanos Community Healthcare District, increasing funding available for healthcare programming in the Pittsburg and Bay Point areas. The Committee is charged with development of an area health plan to determine specific health needs of the community, identify priorities to address those needs, and facilitate a request for proposals process to make funding recommendations for health programs in the community to the Board of Supervisors. The Committee includes representatives from the local community and medical practitioners, making this a unique opportunity for collaboration.

The County is recruiting volunteers to fill one vacancy in the “At Large” seat for the three-year term of January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2026.  The County Board of Supervisors will make the appointment following a screening process conducted by the Board’s Internal Operations Committee. Residents and those who work in the territory of the District, which is primarily the Pittsburg and Bay Point area, are welcome to apply.  This is a volunteer appointment – no stipends or reimbursements are authorized for this Committee.
