Watch the Regents' Health Services Committee Meeting of 2-15-2023

The Regents' Health Services Committee met at UCLA this past Wednesday. As we always do, we preserve the recording of the meeting indefinitely since the Regents - for no apparent reason - erase their recordings after one year. The link is below this post's text.

As it happens, this was not a particularly controversial meeting. Public comments dealt with rape kits, sexual assault services, emergency services, labor relations issues, and complaints about poor management.

After public comments, UC President Drake discussed long COVID and the pandemic briefly. There was then a presentation on UC-San Diego's plan for its Hillcrest Medical Center and upgrades and new buildings on that campus. The plan was approved by the committee. There was then a presentation on what is known about long COVID and treatment. A presentation on the UC Global Health Institute - originally established in 2009 - was made. It was noted that the Institute has facilitated new undergraduate and other training programs. Finally, a general review of the UC Davis health system was made.

The Committee then went into closed session. As we noted in a prior post, one of the closed session topics was UCLA's system for preventing sexual mistreatment of patients. It was not clear why this topic was closed.
