Continued support from San Mateo County Supervisor Canepa

Supervisor David Canepa sent an excellent letter on 7/12/22 to Sutter Health CEO Conforti in support of our goals. It is well worth the read.

Following the 7/24/22 Mickelson rally, Supervisor Canepa requested that Sutter Health executives meet with him, Warm Water Wellness representatives, members of the Peninsula Health Care District, and various Mickelson therapy pool stakeholders. Sutter responded that they would only meet privately with the Supervisor if he would exclude all the other parties from the meeting. We appreciate that Supervisor Canepa declined any meeting that did not include Warm Water Wellness representatives and other parties.
