The California Medical Association has endorsed Sacramento pediatrician Dr. Richard Pan for the 5th Assembly District. As a long-time pediatrician and educator in the Sacramento community, Dr. Pan has been a tireless advocate for providing health care for children and families in California.

"As a pediatrician serving many of the neediest families in the Sacramento region, Dr. Pan understands the importance of ensuring access to health care," said Brennan Cassidy, MD, President of the CMA. "His experience and knowledge on health care issues will be incredibly valuable in the legislature to his community and the people of California."

In addition to his service as a pediatrician, Dr. Pan has worked to pass along to the next generation of physicians the importance of giving back to the community, founding Communities and Physicians Together. His service on the Sacramento First 5 Commission, as a Board member of Blood Source, and the United Way are further evidence of the strong commitment to his community which will make Dr. Pan such an effective legislator.
