Don't Let California Eliminate Adult Day Health Care!

There's a way you can help us keep the state of California from eliminating adult health care centers such as those that serve the elderly and their caregivers. And you don't even have to leave home or the office to do it.

Please consider taking the California Budget Challenge. This survey is being used in the budget town halls throughout the state. Right now more than 50% of the people who have logged in have chosen elimination of ADHC. We need to change this with a concerted effort to log in and vote. We need to all log in and get that number down. The elimination of ADHC is an option under the health care section. Please complete the survey and protect ADHC. Many families throughout the state would be severely impacted if it is eliminated, including working-age caregivers who would lose their jobs due to lack of day care.

Once you complete the survey, please forward the following link to the Budget Challenge to your friends and family asking them to do the same.
