Dr. Jasmeet Bains’ medical school proposal clears assembly
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — The State Assembly has cleared the way to possibly bring a University of California medical school to Kern County.
State Assemblywoman Dr. Jasmeet Bains of Delano proposed the bill, which would allow funding sources to contribute to the operation of the medical school. The move is critical to improve healthcare access in one of the most medically under-served communities in the state, according to Dr. Bains.
The proposed bill now heads to the State Senate for consideration.
