Dear Dr. Stone:
Thank you, thank you for coming to Sacramento to testify before the Senate Health Committee concerning AB 2221. It is such an important bill for all of the patients in California who need access to better care during treatment to relieve their suffering and to allow them the best chance of stability during those important first days. I know it can be quite hectic to leave the clinic and I know that it can be a different kind of hectic waiting to speak at the hearing. All of us at CSAM appreciate that you were willing to do this. It was critically important for you to share your expertise and your experience with this situation with the legislators so they could make a more informed decision. David Pating said that you were terrific and your presence made a difference that day to the voting process.
Thank you again. Your time and professionalism was very much appreciated.
