Exploring Health Care Opportunities for West County
CA Health Care Districts
and
Community-Based Services
11
CA Hospital Districts
• The CA Hospital District law passed in 1946
o Build and operate hospitals
o Recruit and support physicians
• In 1994, the Legislature renamed its statue the
“Health Care District Law” in recognition of
districts’ broadening responsibilities
• Approximately 78 districts exist today
12
CA Health Care Districts: Evolving Rapidly
• Districts are authorized by the State to do
anything “necessary for the maintenance of
good physical and mental health”
• About 1/3 of Districts no longer operate a
hospital
o Sold or leased to another entity
o Used for other health-related purposes
o Closed

Health Care: THE BIG SHIFT
Fewer inpatient days due to fewer
admissions and shorter stays
Financing for hospitals has changed
From ‘any willing provider’ to narrow networks
From fee-for-service to managed care
From paying for procedures to paying for outcomes
Increased competition to provide hospital
care to insured patients; Kaiser is key in California
15
The BIG SHIFT
Our “health system” is evolving to support:
• Greater integration of providers
• Primary care and outpatient services
• Cost containment
• Wellness and prevention
16
Hospitals Are Evolving Too
Many hospitals, both district and private provide
community-based services:
• To fulfill their mission of fostering health
and reducing suffering
• To achieve better outcomes for
patients after hospitalization
• To build community support
• To meet payer mandates

Exploring Health Care Opportunities for West County
Which Paths for the Palm Drive District?
33
The Palm Drive District is a Community Asset
• A centrally-located, well-designed facility that is
handicapped accessible, seismically safe, with
adequate parking
• Annual tax revenues are $4m
• Some medical and facility equipment remain
• Infrastructure to support a sophisticated
telemedicine program
• Ability to educate and mobilize your community
in support of health programs and policies
34
Criteria for Community Services
o Responsive to community health needs
o Within the District’s powers
o Regulatory requirements can be reasonably met
o Financially viable
35
Criteria for Community Services
o Good value: benefit is proportionate to cost
o Synergy: Align other health programs and
organizations to increase impact
o Proven models: evaluated for effectiveness,
succeeding in other communities
36
Highly Recommended
Community-Based Services
• Emergency services including “Save Lives
Sonoma” and/or HeartSafe
• Urgent Care Center(s)
• Outpatient Services
• Health Programs for Seniors
• Healthy Schools Initiatives
• Prevention and Wellness
• Mental Health Services
37
Emergency and Ambulance Services
• Work with Coastal Valley EMS to document
any EMS transport issues and define solutions
• Support the HeartSafe and/or “Save Lives
Sonoma” http://savelivessonoma.com
38
“Save Lives Sonoma”
• Mission: Train 100% of Sonoma County
residents in “hands-only CPR” which is easy
and quick to learn
• Bystander CPR triples the survival rate for
cardiac arrest but sadly 89% don’t receive it
• The entire district could benefit; especially
rural areas
39
“Save Lives Sonoma” Partners
40
Urgent Care Center
Urgent Care could be provided in Sebastopol
and/or in Guerneville
41
What does Urgent Care Offer?
• MDs diagnose, treat, and triage patients;
Appointments not needed, extended hours
• Can do sutures, can cast some fractures
• May have sophisticated imaging and lab
• May have access to specialty consults/referrals
• District $ support could help assure access for all
42
Support Outpatient Services
West County Health Centers:
a great potential partner
• Federal funds helps pay WCHCs for care provided to
the uninsured; Medi-Cal pays higher, cost-based rate
• WCHC could expand Dental Services beyond their
Guerneville Dental Clinic
• Could expand outpatient Mental Health services
• Could expand clinic to Bodega Bay, other locations
• Could provide mobile services, home visits,
and/or school-based health clinics
43
Other Possible Outpatient Supports
• Improve coordination between Santa Rosa
hospitals and local primary care providers
• Support physician retention and recruitment
• Create local access to imaging and more
immediate lab reports
44
Health Programs for Seniors
and People with Disabilities
Health issues were by far the biggest concern of
Sonoma County seniors who participated in the
AAA needs assessment survey and focus groups
45
The Silver Surge: Seniors
Population
46
Seniors: A Priority Population
• At least 1,000 District Residents are over 85
• Approximately 50% of the District Hospital’s
services were for Medicare patients
• Annual health care costs for seniors are 3 to 5
times the cost for a younger person
47
There are Options!
• Chronic conditions can be prevented; decline
and disability can be delayed or prevented
• A continuum of health-related services can
support healthy aging and minimize use of
acute medical care services
• The challenge is to apply what we know and
build services for our communities
48
Healthy Aging Programs Need Support

Case management and referral
Transportation to medical care
Adult Day Health Center
Mental health services (depression)
Palliative Care, Home Care
Residential Hospice Services
Nutrition support
Alzheimer's services for patients and caregivers
Caregiver education and respite
Chronic disease education, monitoring, treatment
Telephone check-in calls, friendly visitors
49
Adult Day Health Centers
Provide a diverse program of health, social
and rehabilitation services that:
• Maximize independence for participants
• Improve management of chronic conditions
• Prevent hospitalization and premature nursing
home placement
• Offer support and respite to caregivers
50
Adult Day Health Centers
• Participants attend 1 - 5 days/week
• Medical services include nursing, PT, OT,
speech, wound care, meds management,
transportation, meals, nutrition counseling
• Social activities make attendance a highlight in
participants’ lives
51
Linkages, Care Management, Home Visiting
• “Linkages:” short-term information, referral,
problem-solving
• Care Management: On-going, home visiting and
care management by professionals
• MSSP: Intensive home visiting for frail elderly;
Nurses and social workers use flexible funds to buy
services, help clients remain at home. MSSP has
122 slots but “always a waiting list”
52
Healthy Schools Initiative:
The Facts Add Up
• Establishing healthy behaviors during
childhood is more effective than trying to
change unhealthy behaviors in adulthood
• Health related factors such as physical and
emotional abuse, hunger, and chronic illness
can lead to poor school performance

54
Healthy Schools: Focusing on Teens
Schools, parents, teens, communities address
risk and support health for adolescents:
• Alcohol and other drugs
• Accidents, injuries
• Criminal behavior, gangs, violence
• Teen pregnancy, STDs, HIV
• School failure, unemployment
• Bullying, isolation
• Depression, mental illness, suicide
55
Youth Involvement is Key
Forestville Teen Clinic, supported by WCHC
• Run by teens for teens; services include mental
health, peer education, family planning and after
school snacks!
Analy High School 1:4:1 Club
• A youth led organization whose motto is “Living
Better. Their 4 focus areas are bullying, diet and
obesity, stress, and gratitude
56
Prevention and Wellness
• Keeping people healthy is a strategic means to
reduce cost and improve the quality of care
• Communities need entities to coordinate and
manage prevention and wellness programs
• The District could fill this need in West County
and focus on prevention and wellness
57
Why Prevention Matters
• We are shifting from acute to chronic conditions
• 80% of today’s healthcare costs are for treating
chronic yet preventable diseases. Diabetes
medical treatment now costs $176 billion
• 40% of US deaths have preventable causes: poor
diet, tobacco use, substance abuse, physical
inactivity, violence, unintentional injury
58
Prevention Programs Across the Lifespan
Sonoma County is rich in prevention programs;
help them expand into and serve West County
• Home visiting for high-risk pregnant women
and/or those with newborns e.g. The Nurse Family
Partnership
• Screen for Adverse Childhood Experiences
(ACEs)and refer for early intervention and
treatment
• Prevent falls in the elderly: 17% of county
residents over 65, fell to the ground more than
once last year; falls can be fatal
59
Community Mental Health Services
• The ACA requires health insurance coverage for
mental health & substance abuse services
• Options to expand Mental Health in West County:
o Reduce stigma to encourage use of services
o Expand access to outpatient counseling
o Support professionally-facilitated groups
o Screen for depression among at-risk populations
o Use telemedicine to enable remote visits
o Support day treatment services
60
Mental Health for Youth and Seniors
• Healthy “IDEAS” (Identifying Depression,
Empowering Activities for Seniors). Proven
program for depression screening, suicide
prevention, counseling and case management
• Support School-based Mental Health Services for
kids and parents
o CAPE, Success Plus+ now in high schools
o Additional school-based MH counselors, groups
o Parenting groups
61
Exploring Health Care Opportunities for West County
Next Steps
62
Invest Wisely
• Decide if the District will financially support or
directly provide a community service
• Consider providing start-up support for a service
that can become self sustaining
• Be entrepreneurial: generate grants, fees,
donations, contracts, volunteers
• Plan for accountability: track activities, measure
outcomes, determine client satisfaction
63
Moving Forward with Community Services
• Prioritize populations, regions and/or services
• Learn more by sponsoring presentations
• Appoint subcommittees or work with existing
groups to prioritize and define in more detail
• Create a business plan for selected new services
• Issue an RFP or negotiate a contract
64
Community-Based services can
contribute to a bright future for
Palm Drive Health Care District
