The San Francisco Health Commission opened the meeting with an announcement that its president, Dan Bridal, has been appointed vice chancellor for community and government relations at the University of California, San Francisco, and resigned from the commission on October 16.
"We are so thrilled for Dan. He is the most wonderful person," the presiding officer said, noting Bridal led the commission since 2020 through pandemic-era challenges and the Laguna Honda recertification effort. The presiding officer said the commission will hold officer elections at its usual meeting in March.
The commission then considered and adopted routine business by voice vote. The minutes of the Oct. 3, 2023 meeting were approved; the consent calendar of policies recommended by the Laguna Honda Joint Conference Committee was approved after a motion and second with commissioners recorded as saying "aye." Commissioner Chow explicitly registered an affirmative vote during consent calendar approval.
Members moved and unanimously approved a resolution honoring Michelle Fouts, Pharm.D., for more than 25 years of service to Laguna Honda Hospital and the department. David Smith, the department's chief pharmacy officer, introduced the resolution and praised Fouts for leading pharmacy automation and improving medication safety. The resolution text read by the secretary credited Fouts with roles including clinical pharmacist, pharmacy supervisor and chief pharmacy informatics officer and noted her role in Epic implementation.
Later the commission moved into closed session, voted not to disclose closed-session discussions and then voted to adjourn.
Items decided by voice vote included approval of minutes, adoption of the resolution honoring Michelle Fouts, approval of the consent calendar, a motion to close the session and a motion not to disclose closed-session discussions; transcript records these items as adopted by voice vote with commissioners responding 'aye.'
