The San Francisco Health Commission convened on October 3, 2023, to address various agenda items, beginning with a formal roll call. All commissioners were present, including Commissioner Chung, Commissioner Guillermo, Commissioner Bernal, and Commissioner Green.

The meeting commenced with a land acknowledgment presented by Commissioner Guillermo, recognizing the Ramaytush Ohlone as the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. This acknowledgment emphasized the importance of respecting the indigenous community's heritage and their ongoing connection to the land.

Following the acknowledgment, the commission moved to approve the minutes from the previous meeting held on September 19, 2023. After confirming that all commissioners had reviewed the minutes, a motion was made and seconded to approve them. However, the chair reminded attendees that public comments would be taken after the approval process, specifically prioritizing those who had requested disability accommodations.

The meeting proceeded with a brief pause for public comment, allowing a participant to address the commission. The structure of the meeting ensured that all voices were heard, particularly those requiring accommodations.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the commission's commitment to inclusivity and respect for the local indigenous community, while also maintaining procedural order in its discussions and decision-making processes. Further discussions and actions were anticipated in subsequent agenda items.
