Thanks for visiting, @SenatorMenjivar!
Exploring the grounds and learning about California native plants at @TheodorePayne #SunValley. Then, while touring @Optum #VanNuys, we discussed the whole-person approach to physical and mental health, along with removing barriers to equitable quality care.

LEARN | @TheodorePayne Foundation is truly a hidden gem. I learned so much about California's native wildlife by visiting this conservatory, just from interacting with the workers and taking walks around the space. 🌼(5/8)
