Terry Maxson, LCSW, have raised seven children.- I am running to represent the traditionally underserved areas of District 1. My community service has been devoted to the unique needs of our families.
- I live in the District and it's important to all of our families that our two hospitals in Escondido and Poway are safe, modern and financially viable into the future. We have had promises from the health system for local services. Rural-based services were promised in Proposition BB which passed in 2004 to provide additional funding and support for geographically-disadvantaged residents; along with a new hospital building in Escondido. This promise has not been fulfilled.
- I am concerned about the nurse-to-patient ratio. AB 394 codified into law the ratio of nurses to patients. The Emergency Department should be running with 1 nurse for every 4 patients. If that ratio is not met this can lead to delays in patient treatment, delays in ambulances returning to their service area and, ultimately, to avoidable, adverse health outcomes.
those in office. The unique needs of underserved and underrepresented
families deserves respect and solutions. The continuation of this inequity
drives my passion to work toward a better future for our rural residents
