The Governor has until May 3rd to make his recommenda- tions on the boundaries of Health Service Areas to the Secre- tary, HEW. The State Advisory Health Council has made its primary recommendation to include Riverside County with San Bernardino, Inyo and Mono in one very large Health Service Area. However, the Council is recommending as an alterna.te the designation of Riverside County alone as a Health Service Area. The Board of Supervisors is of the opinion that we in this county can be more effective in the areas of health planning and the delivery of health care services than if we were included with the other three counties. We urge that, if possible, your City Council adopt a si.milar resolution supporting the Board of Supervisors' posi- tion and immediately notify Governor Brown of this action.
