HEALTH TIP
This year’s flu season has impacted Southern California harder than anticipated by the health community. Some emergency rooms, medical offices, and hospitals are experiencing overcrowding and long wait times throughout Southern California. It’s not too late to get vaccinated. It is still the safest and most effective way to protect against the flu, and symptoms are likely to be less severe if you do get sick. Contact your doctor to obtain more information.
ADA
(American Disability Act)
Any questions, changes or concerns regarding ADA accommodations, attend the ADA JPLRC.

The Health Benefits Officer maintains an open door policy, however, if you need special assistance, (i.e. retirement, disability or personal matter) we recommend that you schedule an appointment with Jerry Avila at (310) 830-6116.
