Blue Ribbon Panel
The availability of affordable, accessible high quality health care is an issue for everyone in San Francisco. That is why, beginning this month, Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier and Mitch Katz, M.D., Director of San Francisco’s Department of Public Health, are convening a ‘blue ribbon’ panel of experts to look at the health care needs of San Francisco, and in particular the role that St. Luke’s plays. Stephen M. Shortell, Ph.D, MPH, Dean of the School of Public Health at the University of California at Berkeley will chair the panel, and Rt. Reverend Marc Andrus, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of California, will serve as vice-chair.

The Community Outreach Task Force
A special Community Outreach Task Force has been created to help the panel in its work. The Community Outreach Task Force is comprised of community leaders from all over San Francisco. The Task Force is responsible for gathering and presenting community input to the ‘Blue Ribbon’ Panel. California Pacific's Steve Lockhart, MD. Ph.D. serves as the community liaison to the panel with the help of the Rev. John Golenski, a neutral third party.
