Always keeping innovation front of mind,
QVMC was the rst medical facility in Napa
County to purchase a linear accelerator,
and was also the rst to offer magnetic-
resonance imaging (MRI), lithotripsy and
stereotactic breast biopsy. More recently,
QVMC is the rst and only facility in the
area to offer robotic surgery options withthe Da Vinci Surgical System. As a model
for health and wellness QVMC became one
of the rst hospitals in the nation and the
rst in Northern California to take health
and wellness to a new level by opening a
medical tness center. The Synergy Medical
Fitness Center integrates exercise and tness
with disease prevention, disease management
and rehabilitation services including weight
management, diabetes wellness, nutrition/
stress counseling, arthritis management, and
complementary medicine.
When asked about his reaction to the award

said, I am proud to be part of an organization
that is committed to its mission to continually
improve the health and quality of life of
people in the communities we serve. Being apart of and caring for the Napa community is
at the heart of who we are as individuals and
as an organization. Its an honor to accept this
award on behalf of the amazing physicians,
medical professionals, staff, volunteers and
donors whose hard work, dedication and
support make the Queen a great hospital.

businesses and support existing ones. Beyon

to producing the materials involved togetting this article onto that medium. Look ateach component of the process, recognizingeach stakeholder past, present, and future.Amazing how many relationships each
business process has, isnt it? How theserelationships develop is largely up to the leaderof the business.
Unfortunately, many business leadersharbor the misconception that becoming asustainable or green business is expensive.Sure, like anything else, it could be. But itdoesnt have to be. There are many things thatyou can do right now today to improveyour TBL that dont cost a dime but have the
potential to save you a substantial amount ofcash.
An easy place to start is right-sizing.What equipment does your business reallyneed? Could you achieve the same outcomewithout all the bells and whistles? Are you
paying for more than you need? Or could youallocate your budget more wisely? Look at
every aspect of your business with a showme the money attitude. The money you savewill help you better weather economic storms
Despite differences about what ittakes to be sustainable, nearly everyoneacknowledges that three inuential, andoften competing factors social, economic,and environmental demands requireserious attention. In a small communitylike the Napa Valley (where everything andeveryone is connected) creating unbalanced,
and, therefore, unhealthy relationshipsamong these three responsibilities cancause irreversible damage, especially for
businesses.
How does a business leader avoid that?By embracing a principle called the triple
bottom line (coined in 1997 and also knownas TBL or 3BL). TBL focuses on the benetsof protecting people, planet, and prots. Nomatter how large or small a business, thecrux of TBL is responsibility to stakeholders,not just shareholders.
One way to gure out who yourstakeholders are is to perform a lifecycle analysis. For example, consider the
newspaper or computer screen you arereading. Now think of everything it took from educating and paying the labor force
and it will help youcreate a thriving
business orhousehold.
One greatresource availableto you is the NapaChambers online
Green BusinessDirectory. It provides you with a one-stoprelationship-building list of businesses that are
proactive in their sustainable practices.
Looking forward to 2012, we canhonor existing relationships, make new andmeaningful ones, and give special attentionto the ones that need tweaking. Give backwhenever and whatever we can. Keep ourmoney local. Volunteer. Donate. Eliminatewaste at every opportunity. And practice TBL.

AB 1236 allows employers to continue tochoose to use E-Verify, but prohibits Californiastate agencies and local governments frompassing mandates that require employers to useE-Verify.

AB 592 adds language to the CaliforniaFamily Rights Act (CFRA) and the PregnancyDisability Leave law (PDL) that makes itunlawful to interfere with or in any way restrainthe exercise of rights under these laws.
Administrative Penalties
AB 240 allows an employee thatalleges a minimum wage violation torecover liquidated damages pursuantto any complaint brought before theDivision of Labor Standards Enforcement(DLSE). This new law would allow theLabor Commissioner to also award suchdamages. Under the new liquidated damagesprovision, the employee would be entitledto recover an amount equal to the wagesunlawfully unpaid, plus interest.Wage Penalties
AB 551 increases the maximum penaltyfrom $50 to $200 per calendar day foreach worker paid less than the determinedprevailing wage and increases the minimumpenalty from $10 to $40 per day forviolations of prevailing wage obligations.It also increases the penalty from $25 to$100 per calendar day, per worker, againstcontractors and subcontractors that fail torespond to a written request for payrollrecords within 10 days.

NEw LAwScontinued from page 1... coverage for domestic partners as they do forspouses.State Contracts Gender or SexualOrientation Discrimination
SB 117 outlaws the state of Californiafrom entering into contracts of more than$100,000 with companies that discriminateagainst the employees on the basis of genderor sexual orientation with regard to benets.The new law makes it clear that companiesdoing business with the state of Californiacannot deny equal benets to same-sexspouses.Workers Compensation Legislation
The governor signed these ve workerscompensation bills that were all supported byCalChamber. AB 335 Requires the workerscompensation administrative director (AD)to work with the Commission on Healthand Safety and Workers Compensation(CHSWC) to develop regulations regardingnotices to injured workers; requires AD
and CHSWC to develop and makeaccessible a booklet written in plainlanguage about the workers compclaims process; streamlines andsimplies other notices to employees. AB 378 Lowers workers
compensation costs by establishingguidelines for dispensing compounddrugs, the circumstances under whichthose drugs would be covered and thereimbursement amount, and removesthe incentives for physicians to referpatients to pharmacies in which thephysician or physicians family has anancial interest. AB 397 Seeks to address theunderground economy problem bysingling out contractors that do nothave workers compensation coveragebut requiring contractors that areexempt from having coverage at thetime they are licensed to certify theyare still exempt or have gotten coverage
at the time of their license renewal. AB 1168 Lowers costs foremployers and insurers by establishing
a fee schedule for vocational expertsservices. AB 1426 Streamlines the workerscomp process and eliminates duplicativebureaucracy and inconsistency by eliminatingthe court administrator position.
The governor also signed a WorkersCompensation related bill that CalChambertook no position on: AB 228 Amends California InsuranceCode to authorize the State CompensationInsurance Fund (SCIF) to provide workerscompensation coverage to a Californiaemployer whose California employeestemporarily work outside the state and whoseinjuries while performing out-of-state workmight lead to workers compensation liabilityin some other state.DFEH Procedural Regulations
Effective October 7, 2011, theDepartment of Fair Employment and Housing(DFEH) has instituted new regulationsrelating to procedures for ling, investigatingand processing discrimination and harassmenclaims. Overall, the regulations make it easierfor claimants to le their complaints andinitiate a DFEH investigation.
