Health Services Committee

The UC Board of Regents’ Health Services Committee convened at UCLA on Wednesday morning to vote on two action items.

The UC Board of Regents began its final day of meetings by convening the general board to discuss access to higher education for undocumented students, climate change initiatives and a report from the Council of University of California Staff Assemblies, or CUCSA.

On its first day of January meetings, the UC Board of Regents heard public comment, approved items regarding UCSF, reviewed the performances and ratings of the three UC national laboratories and approved a proposal to fund the Southern California pilot program.

The UC Office of the President, or UCOP, announced the appointment of former UC Board of Regents vice chair Cecilia Estolano to chair of the board effective Thursday.

At its first virtual meeting of 2021, the UC Board of Regents approved funding for a technology fellowship pilot program, discussed telehealth developments and listened to concerns regarding racial discrimination.

Amid another national COVID-19 surge, the arrival of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine at UC medical centers signals hope for “the beginning of the end,” said Executive Vice President of UC Health Carrie Byington at a virtual UC Board of Regents meeting Tuesday.
