Dr. Merkin spoke to the crowd, "Lancaster and Palmdale- there are no two better cities in the United States to do this, both have been so cooperative in our efforts to improve health care in the Valley and they are truly concerned about the health care of their citizens." He further talked about recent trips to Washington DC with seniors to interact with legislators, one on one, letting lawmakers know of the importance of programs that HDMG implements. "Managed, coordinated, accountable health care that is patient doctor centric keeps our seniors healthier, out of the hospital and is cost effective," said Dr. Merkin. "It is critically important to us that we reach out to our lawmakers, and our communities to let everyone know we are responsive to current health care demands with programs and solutions."

One such cost saving solution was highlighted by Dr. Dulgeroff, letting seniors know the importance of using electronic medical records. "We've been using electronic medical records for the last 30 years and we know how important this time saving device is for us. It allows us to have all the information on the patient instantly in front of us, giving us the needed opportunity to spend more time with our patients listening and responding to their concerns and less time filling out repetitive forms and paperwork, passing the savings on to our patients. This puts us at the forefront of our patient first care."
