SDC Families Invited to Comment on Policy Revisions

Policies currently undergoing revision and updating at Sonoma Developmental Center (SDC) have been circulated for comment by family and others connected to Center residents. We are providing links to copies (pdf) for you to download -- or review online.

It is important to know that these are DRAFT copies and will be available during the two-week review period only. [Files have now been removed.]

Please take the time to review the policies and offer your input. You can leave your comments here on the blog -- or email them to Parent Hospital Association at info@parenthospitalassociation.org -- and Kathleen Miller will see that they reach the appropriate person at SDC.
