CONTINUING EDUCATION – Our Continuing Education Initiative provides informational presentations, seminars and summits designed to keep clinicians and other medical professionals up-to-date on various public and community health topics. These may include but are not limited to policy briefs and/or updates; statistical data on current epidemics; and diagnosis, treatment, and symptom management of various disease processes.
PROVIDER CAPACITY WORKGROUP – The Provider Capacity Workgroup includes clinicians from Barton Health, Marshall Medical Center, El Dorado Community Health Center, El Dorado Healthy and Human Services Agency and Shingle Springs Wellness Center. The workgroup meets monthly and provides clinical expertise and perspective to identify gaps in healthcare and support development of a system of care for vulnerable populations.

Youth Action Council
Our Mission Statement
"We are a diverse youth-led group whose main focus is raising awareness about wellness and making a positive impact in our community. We strive to communicate with all people in El Dorado County in order to promote healthy lifestyles, reduce harm around substance use, and inspire the community to take action and reduce stigma."
What We Do
The Youth Action Council (YAC) is a diverse, youth-led group focused on raising awareness about wellness and making a positive impact in the community. Open to youth ages 13-18, YAC welcomes participants from all areas of El Dorado County, as it is not affiliated with any single school or club. Youth members work alongside adult mentors to promote healthy lifestyles, reduce harm related to substance use, and inspire the community to take action and reduce stigma. YAC adult leadership is provided by staff at ACCEL/COPE, El Dorado County Substance Use Disorder Services, and New Morning Youth and Family Services.
