Subject: Letter of Interest – CalOptima Health Street Medicine Program
Dear Mr. Hunn,
I am writing on behalf of the City of Huntington Beach to express our keen interest in collaborating with CalOptma Health as a host city for the expansion of CalOptima Health’s Street Medicine Program in 2024.
We have received and agreed to the attestations within the online platform for CalOptima Health’s Street Medicine opportunity and this letter reflects our commitment to be a collaborative partner if our City were to be selected.
We recognize the importance of integrating our resources and expertise with your existing Street Medicine Program and our City is committed to addressing the health care needs of its unsheltered neighbors and those at risk of homelessness in a holistic way.
Sincerely,
Al Zelinka
City Manager
