Supervisor Hagman Pays Tribute to Dr. King
 San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Curt
Hagman today called upon all residents of the Fourth District to honor the
legacy and memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the celebration of his
birthday, Monday, January 15, 2018. The celebration is a federal, state and
local holiday commemorating the life and example of Dr. King as a great
humanitarian.
“All Americans have been the
beneficiaries of Martin Luther King’s outstanding leadership on behalf of civil
rights, respect and equality for all people”, commented Hagman. "His
decades long struggle to end segregation and promote acceptance and tolerance
of individual and ethnic differences marked a turning point for America and the
entire world. We in San Bernardino County share in his legacy and join in
honoring him on this special day.”
Martin Luther King
was born in 1929, and assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1968. He was a
Christian minister and civil rights leader who is most famous for his “I Have a
Dream” speech in Washington, D.C. and the development of a non-violent
resistance doctrine to highlight and end legal segregation in America. His
actions and leadership improved the living conditions of all African-Americans.
The holiday is celebrated with hundreds of observances across America and acts
of service to others in his honor.

This week San Bernardino
County Fourth District Supervisor Curt Hagman accepted the appointment as
Chairman of the Inland Empire Health Plan. The Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP)
is a not-for-profit, rapidly growing Medi-Cal and Medicare health plan in California.
With a provider network of over 5,000 providers and more than 1,800 employees,
IEHP serve over 1.2 million residents of the Riverside and San Bernardino
counties who are enrolled in Medicare programs.
“Health insurance and patient
access to health insurance coverage is a significant issue in San Bernardino
County, stated Supervisor Hagman. “The IEHP is a valued entity that has been
highly effective in delivering medical services to its members so they can
access care when and where they need it -- from their primary care physician,
to urgent care centers, the 24-hour Nurse Advice Line, and even alerts via
mobile phone texts. IEHP provides piece of mind and medical coverage security
to those enrolled in their programs.”
“While I served as
vice-chairman of IEHP last year, we were the first health plan in the nation to
reach 25,000 enrollees,” continued Hagman. “That is a phenomenal number
and serves is a testament to the excellent service this entity provides its
membership. Under my chairmanship and the board of directors, we will continue
to put our members first and we will as always strive to excel and exceed
patient expectations. With so much uncertainty in healthcare industry, I know
the leadership team at IEHP will continue to meet all challenges as we create a
healthier, stronger, Inland Empire region. Our membership always comes first.”
“I join my colleagues in
congratulating Supervisor Hagman for his appointment as Chair of IEHP’s
Governing Board,” said fellow IEHP Board Member Josie Gonzales. “I am eager to
see how Curt will incorporate his passion for technology to help IEHP improve
organizational efficiency and enhance services for its members,” said Gonzales,
who is also a member of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors.
“With Curt as Chair, I know we
will continue to improve the quality of services we offer to the more than 1
million lives enrolled at IEHP. His interest in exploring new
technologies, such as telemedicine and web-based services, will only enhance
access to care. It is an exciting time for IEHP and I am happy to have
Curt leading the way as our Chair,” Gonzales added.
“I look forward to working
with our board, our team, and the community as we continue to expand and
improve our excellent record of service,” concluded Supervisor Hagman. “Our
members deserve the best.”

Prado Regional Park is a one-stop recreational paradise located
in the Chino Valley Basin where San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and Los
Angeles counties connect. This venue offers fishing, hiking, biking, disc
golf, horseback riding, archery, and more importantly, the perfect place to
host the world-renowned Spartan Super and Sprint course. The name Prado
derived from California's early Spanish days when the countryside was known
as a "prado" or meadow. This large meadow was also once host
to the 1984 Olympic shooting events where USA ranked number 1 with 3 gold, 1
silver and 2 bronze medals.
Spartan Races are timed
competitions that involve different distances and obstacle courses. It
has been said that the race will never be set up the same way twice.
The courses feature natural and man-made obstacles specifically designed to
test mind-body fitness. Each race will be set up to have climbing,
lifting, crawling, rolling, carrying, running, swimming, balancing, throwing
and jumping.
The Reebok Spartan Sprint is
the shortest race that is offered. The Sprint is a 3.5 mile course with
approximately 20-23 obstacles. The Reebok Spartan Super is the
middle race consisting of a 8 -10 mile course with about 29 Signature Spartan
Obstacles through tougher and more rugged terrain.
The Spartan Code Words to
Live By:
- Spartans push their minds and
bodies to their limits.
- Spartans master their
emotions.
- Spartans learn continuously.
- Spartans give generously.
- Spartans lead.
- Spartans stand up for their
beliefs, no matter the cost.
- Spartans know their flaws as
well as their strengths.
- Spartans prove themselves
through actions, not words.
- Spartans live every day as if
it were their last.
Do you have what it takes to
be a Spartan? If so, you can register at the Spartan Race
website. Spectators are welcome to help motivate and watch you conquer
obstacles, dominate the finish line and receive your medal!
