The Cultural Humility, Health Equity & Social Justice Committee approved the minutes from its prior meeting after a motion by Alyssa Villa and a second from Marilyn Mochel.
Sharon Jones told the committee that the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) Integrated Plan for 2026–2029 has been approved by state reviewers and was taken to the Merced County Board of Supervisors on June 2. "The plan will be submitted to the State Department of Health Care Services by June 30th," Jones said, describing a mix of programs to be implemented by BHRS and contracting providers, including expansions for Latin‑X and South Asian youth programs.
