The Voices and Vision Council held its inaugural meeting alongside the established Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee to launch a new collaborative structure that brings together lived experience and system expertise to shape Medi-Cal policy.

“The Medi-Cal Voices and Vision Council is a vital platform for ensuring that Medi-Cal members and community partners help shape how we deliver care,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “We are committed to strengthening our Medi-Cal program so it is more equitable, responsive, and grounded in the voices of the people we serve. This council reflects our belief that meaningful change and innovation begin with listening and acting on what people tell us they need.”

“Medi-Cal provides the nursing care that keeps my son healthy and safe at home with our family,” said Jenny McLelland, a parent and member of the Voices and Vision Council. “The council gives me the opportunity to share my experiences as a caregiver and ensures that families like mine have a voice in making Medi-Cal better for all Californians.”

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: The Voices and Vision Council and the Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee help ensure that Medi-Cal members remain at the heart of policy development and program administration. These two advisory bodies work in close partnership with DHCS leaders and policy experts to co-design equity-centered programs and policy solutions that reflect the real needs of members.

ໂດຍການມີສ່ວນຮ່ວມໂດຍກົງກັບສະມາຊິກ ແລະ ຜູ້ມີສ່ວນຮ່ວມ, DHCS ກຳລັງສ້າງພື້ນຖານໂຄງລ່າງເພື່ອປະຕິບັດຕາມສິ່ງທີ່ສຳຄັນທີ່ສຸດຕໍ່ປະຊາຊົນທີ່ມັນຮັບໃຊ້. ກອງປະຊຸມປະຈຳໄຕມາດແຕ່ລະຄັ້ງແມ່ນສຸມໃສ່ຄວາມເຂົ້າໃຈທີ່ແບ່ງປັນໂດຍສະມາຊິກ ແລະ ຜູ້ດູແລ. ການສົນທະນາເຫຼົ່ານີ້ຊ່ວຍໃຫ້ DHCS ແປຄໍາຄິດເຫັນໄປສູ່ການປັບປຸງທີ່ແທ້ຈິງ, ເສີມສ້າງວິທີທີ່ Medi-Cal ສະໜັບສະໜູນຊຸມຊົນຕ່າງໆໃນທົ່ວລັດ California.

ຄວາມເປັນມາ: ໃນປີ 2023, DHCS ໄດ້ສ້າງຕັ້ງຄະນະກຳມະການທີ່ປຶກສາສະມາຊິກ Medi-Cal, ເຊິ່ງເປັນໜຶ່ງໃນກຸ່ມທີ່ປຶກສາຢ່າງເປັນທາງການກຸ່ມທຳອິດໃນປະເທດທີ່ປະກອບດ້ວຍສະມາຊິກ Medi-Cal ແລະ ຜູ້ທີ່ສະໜັບສະໜູນພວກເຂົາທັງໝົດ, ເຊັ່ນ: ສະມາຊິກໃນຄອບຄົວ ແລະ ຜູ້ດູແລ. ໃນປີ 2024, ສູນບໍລິການ Medicare ແລະ Medicaid ຂອງລັດຖະບານກາງໄດ້ອອກ ກົດລະບຽບການຮັບປະກັນການເຂົ້າເຖິງການບໍລິການ Medicaid, ເຊິ່ງຮຽກຮ້ອງໃຫ້ທຸກລັດສ້າງອົງການທີ່ປຶກສາສອງແຫ່ງຄື: ສະພາທີ່ປຶກສາຜູ້ຮັບຜົນປະໂຫຍດປະກອບດ້ວຍສະມາຊິກແລະຜູ້ດູແລ, ແລະຄະນະກຳມະການທີ່ປຶກສາ Medicaid ເຊິ່ງປະກອບມີຜູ້ໃຫ້ບໍລິການແລະດຶງດູດສະມາຊິກຢ່າງໜ້ອຍ 25 ເປີເຊັນຈາກສະພາທີ່ປຶກສາຜູ້ຮັບຜົນປະໂຫຍດພາຍໃນເດືອນກໍລະກົດ 10, 2027.

To meet this requirement, California designated its existing Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee as the state’s Beneficiary Advisory Council and created the Medi-Cal Voices and Vision Council as its Medicaid Advisory Committee. Together, these groups are designed to create a continuous feedback loop: The Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee will meet first each quarter to surface themes and priorities from members and caregivers, which will then inform the Voices and Vision Council’s policy and operational discussions. Potential topics include access to care, service delivery, communication, and other issues that influence how Medi-Cal works for the people it serves.

WHAT’S NEXT: The first public meeting of the Medi-Cal Voices and Vision Council will be held on March 18, 2026. Meeting schedules, agendas, minutes, and membership lists for both groups will be publicly available. For more information, including how to register for the first public meeting, please visit the Voices and Vision Council webpage.
 
ABOUT THE VOICES AND VISION COUNCIL MEMBERS: The Voices and Vision Council is made up of 16 Medi-Cal members and leaders from across California who bring experience from advocacy groups, community-based organizations, health centers, county health and social services departments, managed care plans, and health plan associations.
