    State of California—Health and Human Services Agency Department of Health Services DIANA M. BONTÁ, R.N., Dr. P.H. GRAY DAVIS Director Governor July 16, 2003 Joseph Hafkenschiel, President California Association for Health Services at Home 723 S Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Mr. Hafkenschiel: Thank you for your letter dated April 25, 2003 to the Department’s Licensing and Certification Program (L&C) regarding the use of unlicensed assistive personnel in both licensed and unlicensed agencies providing services in patients’ homes. As you well know, L&C is responsible for licensing and certifying Home Health Agencies (HHAs) under state and federal laws and regulations. L&C consulted extensively with the Department’s Office of Legal Services in researching the questions you posed and preparing appropriate responses to them. This letter will restate your original question and then provide L&C’s response on a question-by-question basis. Question 1: May an unlicensed agency provide a licensed nurse (registered nurse [RN] or licensed vocational nurse [LVN]) to render skilled services (medication set ups, diabetes testing, insulin injections, etc.) to patients in their temporary or permanent places of residence, if these services were not ordered by a physician? Response: No. An unlicensed agency cannot provide a RN or LVN to render skilled services to patients in their temporary or permanent places of residence, whether or not the services were ordered by a physician. By providing the services of licensed nurses, an unlicensed agency is operating a home health agency, because its business activities come within the statutory definition of a home health agency in Health and Safety Code section 1727 (a).

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Liquid Gold: Breast Milk Banking in the United States A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirement for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Marisa Gerstein Pineau 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Liquid Gold: Breast Milk Banking in America by Marisa Gerstein Pineau Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Rebecca Emigh, Chair Over the course of the 20th Century, breast milk banks have facilitated the exchange of breast milk from mothers with an excess supply to infants in need. But while early banks used a seller model, purchasing milk as a commodity from lower class women, today banks use a donor model, relying on middle class women who give their milk away as a gift. This dissertation explores why the commodified model of breast milk banking first arose, and why banked breast milk was giftified (but still commodified) by the end of the century. I use content analysis of institutional records from three banks operating in three different eras, and interviews with current milk bank managers, donors, and parents of recipients to address these questions. My analysis indicates that in each era a confluence of factors, in particular women’s employment, conceptions of motherhood, medical practices and beliefs, and technologies shapes the exchange of banked breast milk. In the early 20th century new technologies made the physical disembodiment of breast milk possible, while mothering practices and medical authorities’ preferences promoted breast milk’s symbolic disembodiment, promoting the milk’s ii commodification, while limited employment opportunities created a pool of willing sellers.
