The Campaign to Protect Patients: Reject the Attack on Community Health Centers and Clinics is now No on Prop 44!
Prop 44 is a dangerous statewide ballot measure that threatens care for millions of patients who rely on community health centers and clinics for their health needs. The measure would cut $1.7 billion in the first year alone from community health centers and clinics. As a result, clinics that care for millions of patients each year will be forced to cut services or even shut down.
The campaign has had a busy couple of months as we inch closer to November and defeating Proposition 44.
In May, Proposition 44 officially qualified for the ballot, and our campaign immediately responded by showcasing our growing coalition and mounting opposition.
The No on Prop 44 coalition continues to gain incredible momentum with powerful endorsements from across the state. The California Teachers Association (CTA) voted to oppose the measure, as have dozens of mental health organizations, social justice advocates, doctors, nurses and more. Check out the campaign website for a full list of the broad and growing coalition opposed to Proposition 44.
Our campaign is also picking up endorsements of major news outlets, with both La Opinion and Calo News editorializing against Prop 44, saying that the measure will “harm community clinics at the most fragile and vulnerable time we have seen in many decades. Therefore, it must be defeated.”
Now more than ever, we need our health center partners to help spread the word to vote NO on Prop 44. In coming weeks, clinics will be receiving campaign material including signs, pamphlets, stickers, buttons, and more. We encourage you to share that material widely!

A Warm Farewell and Thank You to Our Retiring Medical Director
Dr. John Hoh started in 1996 as the Medical Director, and as the first physician for patient care when APHCV first opened its clinic doors in June of 1996. He has diligently served our patients and the community for the past 29 years. As he begins a new chapter of his life in retirement, we would like to express our appreciation for all of his contributions to our health center over the years.
Dr. Hoh received his medical degree in 1983 from Temple University. He completed a three-year medical residency at Montefiore Medical Center and the three-year fellowship at John Hopkins Medical Center and the National Institute of Health, Gerontology Research Center. He specializes in Internal Medicine with added formal training in Geriatric Medicine.
As a practicing physician at APHCV in his first 11 years, he has been well-respected and loved by many of his patients. One patient shared, “I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for (Dr. Hoh’s) years of compassionate care and dedication. Your expertise and kindness have made a lasting impact on so many lives, including mine. You’ve been more than a doctor; you’ve been a trusted guide through health and healing.” Since 2017, Dr. Hoh became a full-time administrative Medical Director.
Dr. Hoh has been well-loved by his colleagues at APHCV. Our Director of Clinic Operations who worked alongside Dr. Hoh for twenty-eight years stated, “You have taught me a lot over the years, and I would like to sincerely thank you for your guidance. Your care and compassion were not only extended to our patients, but also to the people around you at APHCV.” Our Chief Executive Officer states, “I will keep in heart all of the things we have done together and wish to tell others about your incredible contributions.”
As he will move to the state of Ohio where his family members reside, we are happy for Dr. Hoh’s next chapter in his life and greatly appreciate all of his contributions and care for the past 29 years.
