Building an organization that could and would withstand the test of time is never an easy task." Assemblywoman Sunny Mojonnier is a firm believer that so much can be accomplished through humor and fun and so it was both humorous and fun for everyone of the dinner guests to find out that their waiters were...... Speaker Willie Brown-D (whom the Sacramento Bee called "Willie the waiter") and Assembly Minority Leader Bob Naylor (the Bee made note of his black bow-tie with flashing red lights), Senators Jim Ellis-R and Art Torres-D, Rod Blonion and Dave Sterling from the Governor's administration and several others. At that historic dinner were more than sixty of the best and the brightest, most dynamic and successful women ever to grace the halls of the Capitol. And that was the beginning of CAPITOL NETWORK. In 1992 Sunny Mojonnier was appointed by Assembly Speaker Willie Brown to serve as Commissioner on the California Medical Assistance Commission. The California Medical Assistance Commission is responsible for negotiating contracts with managed care plans and hospitals, on behalf of the California Department of Health Services for specific services, under the Medicaid program in California (called Medi-Cal). The goal of the Commission is to promote efficient and cost-effective Medi-Cal programs through a system of negotiated contracts fostering competition and maintaining access to quality health care for beneficiaries. She was responsible for review and oversight of approximately 90 of the 275 hospital contracts annually. Performance of these responsibilities resulted in the following: establishment of contracts for services securing quality medical care for medi-cal recipients with approximately 90 hospital providers annually, establish an estimated $1 billion annual savings for the State General Fund, as well as development & implementation of the managed care system. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joyce Mojonnier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
