 RE: SUPPORT of David Lanier as Secretary – Labor and Workforce Development Agency

---

 As I think you all know, I am Vice Chair of Volunteers in Medicine. This organization sets up free clinics around the country using retired physicians, dentists, nurses and lay volunteers. We have 96 clinics in 29 states, one of which is Clinic by the Bay in SF, which I co-founded. I am excited to tell you VIM has signed an agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals to be their partner in promoting and expanding VIM in the United States. For those that don’t know Teva, they are a huge firm in Israel and one of the largest generic drug companies in the world. They will be making this announcement at their conference this weekend in Palm Springs. VIM will be presenting at the conference.

In March,  I will be meeting with the Consulate General of Israel, Andy David  in San Francisco to discuss this this partnership.
