Thank you for your interest in the Wellness Task Force. Final staff will be leaving by May 31, 2011 after 10 years of providing exciting programs, extensive research and community events throughout California. Should you have any questions about the status of the Task Force, and whether or not the Senate plans to continue operations, please contact Task Force Chair, Senator DeSaulnier, by email or call (916) 651-4007. Thanks to our many supporters and partners over the years that helped make the Wellness Task Force a roaring success!

The Policy Committee organizes policy briefings to educate state legistators and their staff on the most pressing health policies of the legislative term. Briefings are held at the State Capitol and open to the public. They are educational in nature; we do not advocate for or against any legislation.

The Wellness Task Force does not lobby on behalf of any legislation.
