Did you know that San Quentin is actually considered the Harvard of the California prison system? Why? Because of its incredible rehabilitative programs administered by its 3,000 volunteers. But there are 34 other correctional institutions in CA that could benefit from these kinds of programs as well, and you can help. Dr. Diana Toche was appointed as Undersecretary of Health Care Services for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation on May 13, 2014 by California Governor Jerry Brown. She has served in multiple positions, including acting Undersecretary of Administration and Offender Services, acting director of the Division of Health Care Services and statewide dental director. She was the Dental Director at Central Valley Indian Health Inc. from 1991 to 2008 and an associate dentist 1989 to 1991. Dr. Toche earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific. Diana cycles approximately 125 miles per week. She has competed in many century bicycle rides and most recently, she carried the torch and lit the cauldron for the Special Olympics, which were held in Davis. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
