HCSMP Task Force Creation

Effective January 2, 2011, San Francisco Ordinance No. 300-10 requires the creation of a Health Care Services Master Plan (HCSMP). The HCSMP is intended to identify the current and projected needs for – and locations of – health care services within San Francisco; the HCSMP will also include recommendations on how to achieve and maintain appropriate distribution of and equitable access to health care services. To inform the HCSMP’s development, the San Francisco Department of Public Health) convened a HCSMP Task Force whose membership reflected a broad range of community stakeholders.

Dr. Tomás Aragón, SFDPH Health Officer, and Ms. Roma Guy co-chaired the HCSMP Task Force. The Task Force:

• Reviewed quantitative data, research, and analysis compiled by SFDPH and the San Francisco Planning Department,
• Provided expertise regarding health care in San Francisco,
• Solicited community participation and receive public comment, and
• Developed recommendations for consideration by SFDPH and the San Francisco Planning Department as they develop the HCSMP; recommendations will incorporate community feedback.

The HCSMP Task Force members focused their discussions on access to health care services, with a specific emphasis on underserved populations. A complete HCSMP Task Force roster can be found here.
