San Bernardino County

Its biggest competitor is Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center (KPFMC), which is number one in the SB County area. However, due to high level of Medi-cal patients in the area, ARMC is always busy. ARMC serves 80% of IEHP patients which other healthcare entities like KPMC and LLUMC do not cater to. This is due to low reimbursement rates per patient. On average, ARMC serves people from lower socio-economic status and suffer from multiple chronic diseases. In order to better serve this population, ARMC is heavy on the ambulatory services. The outpatient services provide preventative care that is needed for such population in order to control prevalent chronic diseases. Patients who are at high risk have care managers assigned to them. These managers are responsible for educating, tracking the patient through the system, and controlling their symptoms…

I was originally hired to only work for the Wrightwood district, but now that I almost have my BA in Environmental Studies my supervisors have been having me work on more substantial…

The worldwide popularity L.A. has received, stems from the city being the source of many…

a math professor was very enlightening. Mrs. Smith taught well by explaining problems step by step that made the information being taught clear and easy to pick-up and learn. “The final in this class was a piece of cake!” Josie said. She attended Chaffey for a year before deciding to put college on hold in order to better provide for her family. She began to work at an entry level position for a while. She learned that working at her job because of the pay and her experience was not going to be…

Today, cities have low levels of democratic participation that hold elected officials accountable and authorize them to have the power to make a decision. At the same time, a majority of the…

the User-Friendly Budget may not create further citizen engagement based upon the research. Research has shown that by studying the budget process in all 50 states, we ended up with a wide variety of requirements. The only similarity that appears through this study was that state governments are primarily only concerned with the first step of informing the public. There is no requirement or mandate beyond this to narrow the gap between government's creation of the budget document and citizen…
