UPLAND, Calif.  – In 2012, MedRevenu Inc. founder John Alvarez faced increasing demand for his company’s services. This challenged MedRevenu’s capacity; Alvarez had to turn business away.  When the County of San Bernardino Workforce Investment Board contacted Alvarez about its no-cost On-The-Job training program, he recognized that the program would be a valuable resource for expansion.

“We faced a large hurdle in 2012: we had immense demand but not the immediate resources to hire and train a team to meet that demand,” said John Alvarez, of MedRevenu. “With assistance from On-The-Job training in place, we were able to offset our initial costs, overcome this obstacle, and hire three of our last 10 employees with help from the Workforce Investment Board.  The program helped MedRevenu double in size in 2012.”

MedRevenu employs a unique recruiting methodology; it hires for attitude and trains for skill. On-The-Job Training allowed the necessary time and financing to train employees properly.

“With an average company growth of 50 percent over the last four years, it can be difficult to give a new employee the time necessary for proper training. On-The-Job Training has allowed us to continue growing our team quickly while maintaining the highest industry standards,” said John Alvarez, President of MedRevenu,

On-the-Job Training reimburses a business for a portion of a new hire’s wages during the initial training period.  The program’s goal is permanent employment for each trainee, once the employees are fully trained and have completed the probationary period. Offered at no cost to the employer, these programs reduce hiring costs and increase productivity.

“MedRevenu Inc. is a perfect example of how Workforce Investment Board programs can help companies reach the next level of expansion,” stated Sandy Harmsen, Executive Director of the Workforce Investment Board. “By helping companies in the County of San Bernardino grow, we are ensuring the creation of more job opportunities for our residents.”

The Workforce Investment Board offers many free services and programs to local businesses through their Business Resource Team.  The Business Resource Team helps local companies with services such as layoff aversion programs and process improvement services that save jobs. Additionally, the Business Resource Team provide business workshops, access to On-the-Job Training and assistance with recruitment.  In 2011, the Workforce Investment Board trained more than 3,300 job seekers to enter careers in high-demand industry sectors and the Business Resource Teams visited and established relationships with more than 2,800 local businesses.

“The Workforce Investment Board provides vital support to our business community; I encourage San Bernardino County businesses to take advantage of the many helpful resources the WIB has to offer,” said Janice Rutherford, County of San Bernardino Chair and Second District Supervisor. “As the WIB continues to help our employers grow their businesses, we can offer greater opportunities for our residents to find long-term careers.”

Paul Goldsmith, award-winning cinematographer, will give a guest lecture about ancient rock art at the San Bernardino County Museum on June 26th. The lecture is open to the public at no cost.

“I will show a clip of our film, “Talking Stone,” on Coso Rock Art. The film explores a site on the China Lake Naval Weapons Testing Base that is all but inaccessible and contains perhaps the largest concentration of rock art in the world,” said Goldsmith. “The images are mysterious, some are scary, many are of bighorn sheep, and all of them are messages from the deep past. I will discuss what I have learned from talking to archaeologists, an astronomer, a psychologist, an artist, big horn sheep hunters, and Kawaiisu elders.”

Goldsmith is a member of the American Society of Cinematographers and has received a number of awards for his work as a director of photography. His most recent television documentary, “Two Days in October” (PBS, dir: Robert Kenner), won an Emmy and a Peabody in 2006. Paul also won the 1998 Emmy for Documentary Cinematography for “Don’t Say Goodbye” (PBS/National Geographic). Earlier, Paul was a cinematographer on the feature documentary “When We Were Kings” (dir: Leon Gast), about the Ali–Foreman fight in Zaire, which won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature in 1996.

Among Paul’s feature credits are “Jeremy” (dir: Arthur Barron, Camera D’Or, Cannes) and “Shock To The System” (dir. Jan Egleson, starring Michael Caine). Among other television credits, he was director of photography of the series “Max Headroom” (Lorimar ABC), and the PBS special “Men In Crisis” (PBS, directed by and starring Woody Allen). As a member of TVTV (a seminal guerilla television group) he co-produced a number of TV specials including “The Lord of the Universe” (PBS) which won a Columbia DuPont Award and “Hard Rain” (NBC, for Bob Dylan). He has received grants for two short documentaries which he is currently at work on when he is not booked on commercials.

Following an exhaustive search, including almost 100 competing sites, MCS is relocating from its former 86,000 square feet of space in Visalia, CA, to 115,000 square feet of space in an existing building located at 11089 Tacoma in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, with an option to expand into another 100,000 square feet of space. The firm will begin directing inbound ocean freight to the new location starting this month with complete move in by July 2013. MCS will use the new facility as a distribution center encompassing receiving, inspection, warehousing, and shipping operations to major retailers.

MCS is converting the metal halide lighting in the existing building to energy efficient T5 lighting with motion controls and adding security features such as high definition cameras and badge access systems.  The firm will also install high-pile racking to store up to 8,000 pallets of finished product. The Rancho Cucamonga facility will handle MCS’ core distribution business for the western half of the US.

Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Easton, Pennsylvania, MCS is the premier full-line supplier of tabletop frames, albums and scrapbooks, mirrors, wall décor and art-print products. MCS’ depth of experience and broad product line has enabled the firm to become the supplier of choice to North America’s largest retail chains serving the mass market, hobby and craft, office products, photo and specialty channels.

The firm plans to hire its core staffing early on including managers, logistics personnel, QA and inventory control.  MCS will eventually hire on 15 full time associates for its industrial site. All told, MCS will employ a total of 20 full time employees in the County, with plans to increase up to 50 people during peak retail seasons, specifically during “Back to School” and “Black Friday” promotional events.

“The greatest advantage to operating in the County of San Bernardino is the location.  MCS is committed to its customers. With this move we can reposition our distribution center to align more closely with our customer’s transportation lanes. It’s a major benefit for both parties,” said Ed Miller, director of logistics, MCS Industries.

According to Miller, the Inland Empire is one of the top logistics sites in the nation. The County location made sense especially since MCS’ customers are big box retailers who all have operations within the Inland Empire.

“The impressive core of an available and talented workforce is also a significant advantage.  When MCS posted ads for available positions, the response was overwhelming.  Unlike a remote location like Visalia, I did not have to search high and low to find the talent to serve as the foundation for our newest facility,” Miller added.

 Another reason for MCS’ move is the proximity to the Port of Los Angeles from a Rancho Cucamonga location. “Trucking costs fluctuate with the rise of fuel so to dray ocean containers 350 miles to Visalia is expensive. This move made both economic and workforce sense for us. Plus we gained from the County’s proactive commitment to our business and its growth,” Miller said.

“The County is once again pleased to welcome a strong employer to the region. MCS is looking to grow and we will ensure the company is provided with quality candidates for its job opportunities,” said Kelly Reenders, economic development agency administrator, County of San Bernardino.

“We’re glad that MCS discovered the bottom line benefits to locating in the County in order to leverage its existing client relationships in Southern California. The County of San Bernardino continues to build on its roster of high profile retailers and Fortune 500 firms that recognize the long list of benefits that can be gained here,” Reenders added.

About the County of San Bernardino: Located at the heart of Southern California, an economy of 22 million people, the County of San Bernardino is the largest county in the United States. Its vast borders stretch from the greater Los Angeles area to the Nevada border and the Colorado River encompassing a total area of 20,160 square miles. Comprised of 24 cities, the County of San Bernardino encompasses more than two million residents with a workforce exceeding 900,000. Its assets include an innovation corridor of close to two dozen colleges and universities supporting a strong, diverse workforce along with an unparalleled collection of roadways, runways and railways that lead to regional, national and international business centers. One of its transportation assets is the Ontario International Airport featuring the western hub for UPS. Visit www.SBCountyAdvantage.com.

Ernest Dowdy – SBETA – Executive Director

San Bernardino, May 14, 2013 — The San Bernardino Employment and Training Agency is among the first recipients in California to receive a grant from Covered California for the outreach and education of individuals and organizations about health care coverage options under The Affordable Health Care Act.

The grant of $750,000, was announced today by Peter V. Lee, Executive Director of Covered California, at a meeting held in Los Angeles.  Lee stated that they searched for organizations to represent the broad mix of the population in California. Between now, and the end of open enrollment for health care, under the Affordable Health Care Act, these organizations are going to touch over nine million Californians including 200,000 small businesses.

Robert K. Ross, M.D., Board Member of Covered California  pointed out, “We are witnessing the transition of a health care law that has been owned by WashingtonD.C., the president and the congress, and is now our program, belonging to California.”  He explained further that the strategy will be that many uninsured Californians, who need healthcare insurance, are going to be able to use a high tech approach to signing up, via the Covered California website www.Covered.ca.gov, or have a “high-touch” approach if they need help filling out forms and making decisions about health coverage and the plans that are best for them.  He pointed out that this is a big change that is happening fast. Enrollment begins January 1, 2014, so it is important for information to be delivered quickly to those who are uninsured or under-insured.

The Covered California grant is one of the largest single grants awarded to SBETA, and will be used to provide training to individuals and organizations on affordable health care coverage options.

“This will enable us to reach out to the culturally diverse populations, that we serve in the San Bernardino area, with relevant information about the new health care options available,” stated Ernest Dowdy, Director of SBETA. “The people we serve face significant challenges: many have never had health insurance, or don’t speak English very well, or have lost health insurance coverage when they lost their jobs, or work at jobs that don’t provide insurance.  These are the people who need to learn about the great opportunity they will have once enrollment opens in the fall.”

Rialto Unified School District, and other city school districts in San Bernardino County, will be collaborating with SBETA to inform students, parents and partner agencies about healthcare enrollment.

More than 20 specialty services are available at the new hospital, including a Cardiac Catheterization Lab, Labor & Delivery, Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units, and – coming in 2014 – Cardiac Surgery Services.

The new Fontana hospital is based on Kaiser Permanente’s template design that represents the next generation of Kaiser Permanente facilities. Its design allows for enhanced flexibility to accommodate changing practices and technologies, such as the addition of “green” features to the building. It is also designed to meet the new, more rigorous seismic safety standards.

“This hospital is all about the clinical and personal needs of our patients,” said Dr. David Quam, Area Medical Director and Chief of Staff. “Our technology is state of the art, and our healing environment focuses on personalized care. Our exceptional team of physicians and staff is committed to providing patients with the best preventive and medical care.”

“Our new Fontana Hospital is one of the largest, greenest, and most technologically advanced ever built in the area,” said Greg Christian, Executive Director, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals/Health Plan, San Bernardino County Area. “This investment symbolizes our commitment to the health of all people who live and work in the Inland Empire.”

All patient rooms are private with an acoustic design that reduces noise. Walls are decorated with warm colors and artwork – created by local artists and specially commissioned for this hospital. A family-friendly environment offers space for overnight stays and wireless Internet access, amenities which enhance the overall care experience. Numerous large windows maximize natural light which eases stress, is good for the environment, and contributes to a better patient experience.

The hospital’s labor and delivery suites have a home-like setting yet contain all of the equipment needed to assist with labor, non-surgical delivery and recovery. The neonatal intensive care unit is nearby, ready to care for those babies who may require an additional level of care.

Patient meals in the new hospital will be prepared utilizing the French-inspired sous vide method for cooking food, which is used in the finest hotels. Patients can also order their meals room service-style – select their menu choices and indicate the time they’d prefer meals to be delivered.

The Fontana Medical Center incorporates advanced technology at every opportunity. Kaiser Permanente’s electronic medical record system is accessible by computer terminals next to each bed and at nursing stations, allowing providers to retrieve essential medical information at the touch of a finger. Sophisticated imaging systems improve diagnostic and treatment capabilities. A wall-to-wall wireless network provides wireless network coverage in all areas of the new hospital to support computing devices, wireless telephones, and member access. Free Wi-Fi service throughout the facility.

Numerous environmentally-friendly design and operational features ensure that this new hospital is a place of health for the planet, too. Some of its green features include:

·        White, heat-reflective roof to reduce interior cooling needs
·        Use of reclaimed water for landscaping and cooling towers
·        Eco-friendly wall coverings and flooring
·        Furniture and fixtures that use fewer toxic chemicals
·        Dual-glazed exterior windows
·        Energy-efficient lighting, electrical and plumbing systems
·        Use of green cleaning products by housekeeping staff
