YUBA CITY, CA (MPG) – The Yuba City Council is reviewing a recommendation to establish an Adventist Health Ad Hoc Committee to explore opportunities for improving local medical and hospital services. The proposal follows concerns raised at a recent council meeting by Vice-Mayor Boomgaarden regarding the quality and accessibility of healthcare in the area during a recent council meeting.

If approved, the committee would be led by two designated council members for a period of up to one year unless further action is taken by the Council. The committee would collaborate with community members and industry partners to assess medical service availability, facility locations and overall healthcare quality. A final report with recommendations would be presented to the full City Council for consideration.

The fiscal impact of the proposed committee is expected to be minimal, with costs limited to staff time supporting the initiative. The Council will determine whether to approve the formation of the committee or explore alternative approaches.
