Healthcare Advocacy Coalition of California

Youth online safety is a public health priority. Thank you @AGRobBonta, for fighting to protect California’s kids. We urge healthcare professionals to speak up: @YouTube and @tiktok_us must join the settlement. Protections must follow kids across EVERY app latinotimes.org/2026/10/our-…

One of the most important things you can do to take care of both your mental and physical health is simply to get enough sleep. That can be challenging with electronic devices demanding your time. Take control and silence your phone! sacdailypress.com/not-gettin…

Let’s stop harm before the emergency room. @SenAlexPadilla @SenAdamSchiff: Please reject any effort to include intoxicating hemp loophole language in the CR. CA should retain authority to protect youth and regulate intoxicating hemp products responsibly. coastalsearchlight.com/safeg…

We know the risks of unregulated intoxicating hemp products firsthand. Congress should close the hemp loophole to protect California families. Read the latest: Sac Daily Press op-ed sacdailypress.com/protect-co… @RepCarbajal @RepJimCosta @RepDavidValadao

Children shouldn’t be able to buy intoxicating THC products disguised as candy, gummies, and beverages. Congress must close the loopholes now. Read more: coastalsearchlight.com/safeg… @RepCarbajal @RepJimCosta @RepDavidValadao

Congress should oppose efforts to overturn federal ban & keep dangerous hemp-derived products out of our communities. @RepCarbajal @RepJimCosta @RepDavidValadao Read more: siliconvalleydispatch.com/a-…

Healthcare professionals see the impact of harmful online content on kids every day. We support the App Store Accountability Act to strengthen parental consent and add real safeguards. @EnergyCommerce must act.

Today we celebrate the caregivers who show love not with cards or candy, but with compassion, skill, and service. This Valentine’s Day, we thank California’s healthcare workers for the heart they bring to every patient. Real care comes from the heart.🩺❤️

Staying healthy doesn't have to be hard or expensive. Getting enough sleep is one of the most important things you can do for a long and healthy life.

@DrOzCMS A new Latino Times editorial highlights a growing long-term care crisis for Latino seniors in the Valley — where aging with dignity is becoming harder due to limited access and support. We must invest in care that keeps our elders close to home. latinotimes.org/2026/01/a-lo…

Enjoy the night. Get home safe. Don’t drive impaired. And for solid holiday safety tips, follow @wesavelivesorg #impaireddrivingmonth

Nice to see @HouseCommerce treating App Store Accountability Act w real urgency. Witnesses confirmed Apple & Google have the infrastructure—they just need to be required to use it responsibly @JayObernolte @DorisMatsui @RepRaulRuizMD @RepScottPeters @RepBarragan @RepKevinMullin

CA seniors are facing a long-term care pharmacy crisis — Congress & Trump must act now. Shrinking access & broken reimbursement are threatening rural patients’ ability to get meds on time. sacdailypress.com/california… @RepDavidValadao @KenCalvert @RepYoungKim @JamesBlairUSA @DrOzCMS

Thank you, @GavinNewsom, for signing #AB1043 into law! Protecting teen mental health means protecting them online, too. This legislation is a vital step toward safer digital environments for California’s youth. We applaud this progress. #MentalHealthMatters #OnlineSafety #CALeg

One of the most powerful forms of healing is simply to listen and genuinely care about a person.

@GavinNewsom Veto AB 56 + AB 1064. Work w/ healthcare experts, educators, parents, and technology developers to craft solutions that protect children while allowing responsible innovation to flourish. Protect the well-being of our teens.

Solving this crisis requires more than money. We need new thinking and a willingness to look at the data on what programs have been effective in the past and what has not. ktla.com/news/california/new…

California politicians should stop dragging their feet and make health savings accounts tax free as they already are in 48 other states.

🚑 Not every “yo bro you good?” ends in “I require immediate medical attention,” but sometimes it should. Here’s a quick tip: If you’re feeling dizzy, short of breath, or got sudden chest pain — get checked out. Common sense saves lives. 🩺 Stay sharp, stay healthy.

UC Health & Blue Shield are in contract negotiations. Without a deal by July 10, thousands may lose in-network care at UCSF & One Medical. We’re watching closely and hoping for a resolution that protects patients. sfchronicle.com/health/artic… #HealthcareAccess #CaliforniaHealth
