Capitol Weekly held CHILDREN’S HEALTH, a day-long conference, on September 13, 2018, in Sacramento.

Our annual look at health care in the Golden State focuses this year on the challenges for children’s health care, including access, quality of care, funding streams, MediCal and more. Half of California children are on public healthcare – with federal health funding facing an uncertain future, what can be done to safeguard treatment for California’s children?
