× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Program

The California Legislature enacted Health and Safety (H&S) Code section 1256.01 that establishes the Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Program to be implemented by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Previously in the State, only general acute care hospitals (GACHs) with cardiac surgery on site and a licensed cardiac catheterization lab (cath lab) could perform non‐emergent, scheduled ("elective") percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). With this legislation, the Department is authorized to certify an unlimited number of eligible GACHs, who do not have on-site cardiac surgery support and are licensed to provide cardiac catheterization laboratory service in California, to perform elective PCI. Each hospital must meet rigorous facility, staffing, patient selection, patient care, data collection, and reporting requirements to be considered for participation.
