As we explore who’s responsible for leading the Battle Royale against obesity we, of course, look to the healthcare industry (physicians, dietitians, nurses, etc.). In doing so, we have to wonder if these professionals are any different than the rest of us. Are those in the healthcare industry immune to the rapidly growing obesity epidemic?

HASC presented its first gang awareness program for health care
professionals at the California Endowment April 5. More than 40
CNOs, emergency department staff, clinicians, administrators,
patient advocates, security staff and case managers attended to
hear local hospitals present information about successfully
preventing gang violence in hospitals.
With nearly half of all nonfatal assaults and violence occurring
in health care settings, according to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, violence is a growing concern.

California’s population is growing, aging and becoming
increasingly diverse. These compounding factors—including
the additional four million Californians expected to secure
health insurance coverage by 2014 under the Affordable Care
Act—will create unprecedented demand for health care services
that must be delivered by a strong health workforce.

Funded primarily through the U.S. Department of Labor federal
Workforce Investment Act (WIA), the City of Los Angeles Workforce
Investment Board (WIB) oversees the City’s $45 million workforce

and 13 OneSource Centers for youth.

As health care faces a shortage of skilled workers who can
deliver quality care in an increasingly scrutinized industry,
strong workforce development programs are essential. HASC’s

available and of program graduates seeking employment
opportunities. Additionally, this initiative strives to
improve communication between HASC members and training providers
of workforce development needs. For more information, please
