Governor's Message
As Governor of the State of California, I am pleased to endorse the University of California's application for the Federal Communications Commission Rural Health Care Pilot Program (FCC Pilot Program).
The accelerated deployment of broadband telecommunication technologies in California, specifically for use in telemedicine, is one of the top priorities of my administration. The FCC Pilot Program will complement and add great value to our State's Health Information Technology and Broadband Initiatives, which encourage public and private sector stakeholders to join with California's rural health care providers in developing a statewide telemedicine network.
