California State Senator Dr Senator Akilah Weber Pierson organized a Town Hall to provide an update on the trichloroethylene (TCE) clean up at the Food 4 Less at the Market Creek Plaza shopping center and Euclid Terrace Apartments. TCE has the potential to cause multiple health problems including cancer and neurological conditions. The Langley Fleet Aerospace Facility previously at this site used chemicals, including TCE, from the 1950s to 1990s. Prior to selling this land for development in about 2000, it was decontaminated and the best testing at that time showed it was not a hazard. Since then, much has been learned and better tests have been developed that showed significant TCE in 2024. Multiple efforts have lowered the TCE levels, but not to an acceptable level long term. More work will be done early in 2027 which is expected to resolve this matter. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control and others are involved in this years long effort. If people feel they may have health effects, now or in the future, the first contact should be with their healthcare provider. For additional questions or concerns, Dr Akilah Weber Pierson welcomes constituents to call her office.

On the morning of October 1, 2026, Neighborhood Healthcare, led by CEO Rakesh Patel, MD, presented “The State of Community Health” at the Escondido Center for the Arts. Escondido Mayor Dane M. White and Assemblymember Dr Dr. Darshana Patel for District 76 both gave keynote remarks on health priorities in their offices. Every panelist shared their role and the benefit of creating partnerships to improve health on multiple fronts. Great work is being done for the homeless, under/no insured, and seniors. There is a lot of excitement in looking toward the future, for example Neighborhood Healthcare being selected for a federal dental pilot project, a new PACE (Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) for Escondido, and high school student healthcare shadowing programs. Thank you to all the organizers and sponsors for a wonderful event.

September 24, 2026 was the final open house for State Senator Senator Brian Jones . After many years in public service he will be term limited out. Looking back over his years in government he has a lot to show for his efforts. One statistic he gave was that he oversaw the response to 58,000 constituent contacts for help. The crowd in attendance enthusiastically thanked him for his dedication and service. The community resource booths at this open house were educational and fun. Before and after the speakers, there was music that could be heard throughout the event space, adding to the energy.
CANP San Diego chapters thanks Senator Jones for consistently supporting nurse practitioners and recognizing our yearly NP Week.

Assemblymember Tasha Boerner is committed to educating district 77 on ways they can be prepared for any emergency. On Thursday September 24, 2026 she assembled a group of experts to present at the Point Loma Library.

A representative from County of San Diego Office of Emergency Services focused on flood risk and the importance of signing up for alerts at alertsandiego.org. The American Red Cross speaker shared that the public has to be able to take care of their own basic needs for the first 72 hours after a disaster, so there must be a plan in place prior to an emergency. The CalFire communication specialist highlighted the information at ReadyForWildfire.org and answered questions about Zone Zero, which is the structure and first five feet around a home. California Department of Insurance ended the program by reviewing options for insurance even in hard to insure places. For insurance questions, Californians can search the information on insurance.ca.gov.

Thank you Assemblymember Tasha Boerner for this important presentation on optimizing safety and health before, during, and after a natural disaster.
