High School Students Step into Health Care Careers at WesternU White Coat Ceremony

DVANTA

POMONA, CA - More than 200 high school seniors from 10 San Bernardino Coun- ty schools participated in Future Health Care Professionals Day, a hands-on career explora- tion event at Western University of Health Sci- ences (WesternU) in Pomona. Hosted by San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools (SBCSS), the event welcomed students en- rolled in Health Science and Medical Technol- ogy Career Technical Education (CTE) path- ways for a day of immersive learning, faculty engagement and exposure to postsecondary health care programs across multiple disci- plines.

Held on February 4, the event began with a White Coat Ceremony, offering students a meaningful glimpse into what a future in health care could look like.

"Future Health Care Professionals Day helps students envision themselves as health care professionals," said County Superintendent Ted Alejandre. "Partnering with a university like WesternU allows students to see that a world-class education is available right here in their own backyard."

The event highlighted CTE as a launchpad to high-demand, high-skill health care careers, showcasing how classroom coursework aligns with real-world workforce needs.

Throughout the day, students participated in hands-on rotations across several WesternU colleges and programs, including the College of Graduate Nursing, College of Optometry, Master of Health Administration, College of Pharmacy, College of Podiatric Medicine, College of Osteopathic Medicine, and Physi- cian Assistant. During each rotation, students engaged directly with health care profession- als and current WesternU students, gaining in- sight into academic pathways and career op- portunities.

Participating schools included:

Rev. Jesse Jackson joins the late Dr. Joseph E. Lowery (seated), founder of the Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda, and longtime leader Helen Butler (right), along with other prominent civil rights leaders, at a Coalition event launching voter mobilization efforts in Atlanta.

The Georgia Coalition for the People's Agen- da mourns the loss of one of the most influ- ential civil rights warriors in modern history, Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr. From Op- eration Breadbasket to his historic presidential campaigns, to his decades of leadership at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Rev. Jackson dedi- cated his life to service, justice, and economic and political empowerment for Black commu- nities across this nation.

Rev. Jackson began organizing as a student and soon became a trusted lieutenant of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. within the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He utilized economic boycotts and negotiation to demand jobs, contracts, and opportunity for Black workers and businesses. But he didn't just pro- test, he built political power.

His 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns registered millions of new voters, including more than two million in 1988 alone. He ex- panded the electorate, inspired young people, and helped usher in a generation of Black elect- ed officials at the state and national levels. His work strengthened the enforcement and spirit of the Voting Rights Act and cemented voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts as central pillars of the modern civil rights move- ment. He believed deeply that the ballot was the most powerful nonviolent tool we possess.

As we bid farewell to an American hero who dedicated his life to uplifting the marginal- ized and amplifying voices too often ignored, it feels as though we are closing the chapter on a generation of fearless warriors who con- fronted injustice and greed head-on. The man who inspired a nation to Keep Hope Alive has departed at a time when it feels hope is in short supply. Yet his life teaches us that hope is not passive; it is a call to action, a mandate to organize, and a responsibility to carry the struggle forward.

Statement from Controller Malia M. Cohen on the Passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson

SACRAMENTO, CA - On Tuesday, Feb- ruary 17, Controller Malia M. Cohen issued a statement on the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson:

"I join millions across our nation in mourn- ing the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson who was a towering figure in the fight for civil rights, economic justice, and human dignity.

Reverend Jackson dedicated his life to ex- panding opportunity and demanding that our institutions live up to their highest ideals. From standing alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to leading the Rainbow PUSH Coali- tion, he never wavered in his belief that every person deserves a voice, a fair chance, and a seat at the table. His enduring call to 'Keep hope alive' challenged us not only to believe in change, but to do the work required to achieve it.

His leadership inspired generations of public servants, advocates, and community leaders including many of us who continue to work toward a more just and equitable society.

To his family, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, and all who were touched by his extraordinary life, I extend my deepest condolences. May we honor his legacy not only with words, but with action by continuing the work to build com- munities where opportunity is real, fairness is foundational, and hope is sustained for all."

Cervical Cancer Shouldn't be a Death Sentence

February is National Minority Health Month -a time to bring attention to a disease that should no longer be taking lives, yet con- tinues to do so, especially those of black women in Black and rural communities. In Georgia, Black women are nearly one and a half times more likely to die from cer- vical cancer than white women. This is not because cervical can- cer is inevitable. In fact, it is one of the most preventable and treat able cancers when people have access to the HPV vaccine, rou- tine screening, and timely follow- up care. What puts lives at risk is not biology it is barriers created by policy, systems, and inequality.

Before becoming a Southern Rural Black Women's Initiative (SRBWI) Cervical Cancer Am- bassador, I did not know how common HPV is or that it is the leading cause of cervical cancer. I also did not realize that cervical cancer is largely preventable with early vaccination and regu- lar screening tools that so many

By Nadia Surry women still cannot easily access.

Research conducted by SRB- WI, in collaboration with Human Rights Watch, shows that many women in Georgia face serious obstacles to cervical cancer pre- vention and treatment. SRBWI's research across Georgia, Ala- bama, and the Mississippi Delta reveals a regional crisis affecting rural Black Belt and Delta com- munities areas with high young people. Large parts of Georgia, especially rural counties, lack ad- equate gynecologic care. Nearly half of the state's counties do not have an OB-GYN. As a result, many women must travel long dis- tances, take unpaid time off work, or delay care altogether because they cannot afford it. These chal- lenges are compounded by Geor- gia's refusal to expand Medicaid, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without affordable health insurance.

Tensions Flare at Newsom's Signing of $90 Million Reproductive Health Bill

On February 11, California Gov. Gavin Newsom held a news conference to sign a $90 million one-time emergency funding bill for Planned Parenthood and other reproduc- tive health care clinics in the state. The event became tense when questions from reporters veered into unrelated political issues, prompt- ing California's First Partner Jennifer Siebel- Newsom to step in and sharply criticize the press.

OF THE S

Senate Bill (SB) 106, authored by Sen. John Laird (D-Santa Cruz), is a direct response to federal funding cuts enacted in H.R. 1 by the Trump administration. That legislation blocked Medicaid (Medi-Cal) funding for Planned Par- enthood and similar reproductive health pro- viders, Newsom stated.

"California is taking steps to ensure people don't lose access to the range of services pro- vided by Planned Parenthood," Newsom stat- ed. "As the Trump administration's 'Big Ugly Bill' punishes women and community health providers, California continues to stand in support of women's access to essential health services and reproductive freedom."

California is home to seven Planned Parent- hood affiliates, which operate 115 health cen- ters across the state serving patients from all 58 counties. Each affiliate is an independently incorporated 501(c)(3) organization, accord- ing to the California Planned Parenthood Edu- cation Fund.

Newsom and supporters of the legislation ex- plain that the emergency funding was neces- sary to deflect clinic closures and protect ac- cess to essential services such as birth control, STI testing and treatment, cancer screenings, and wellness exams.

BLOOMINGTON, CA - Today, Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA-33) announced that he secured $1,092,000 in community project funding for San Bernardino County's Bloomington Septic Conversion Project. This grant funding will expand and improve Bloomington's sewage and water infrastructure by allowing San Ber- nardino County to install 1,200 linear feet of mainline sewer along the Valley Boulevard corridor, extending it to Alder Avenue. Once complete, the infrastructure project will im- prove wastewater treatment, promote better public health outcomes and drive development and economic opportunities in the unincorpo- rated community of Bloomington.

"We all know how essential it is to have strong, reliable infrastructure; it's what cities, counties and countries are built on," said Rep. Pete Aguilar. "That's why I'm so proud to deliver over $1 million for San Bernardi- no County's Bloomington Septic Conversion Project. This grant is more than just an invest- ment in Bloomington's sewage and water treat- ment infrastructure; it's an investment in the community's long-term housing development, public health and economic growth. Federal investments in projects for unincorporated communities like Bloomington are essential to ensuring that no Inland Empire resident gets left behind. I'll continue to fight for more re- sources that help make life better for our entire region."

In January 2026, Rep. Aguilar helped pass the Commerce, Justice, Science, Energy and Water Development, and Interior and Envi- ronment Appropriations Act of 2026, which included $7.4 million in federal community project funding grants for seven projects in California's 33rd Congressional District.
