The first chapter in the non-fiction book of 400-plus pages reveals some fascinating never-before told accomplishments in the life of Significant Sig and Order of Constantine Brother Phil Sanchez (52-T) when he was the youngest Chief Administrative Officer among California’s 58 counties. One of those early innovations that Phil initiated resulted in county-wide medical care through the Community Regional Medical Center which now has a value of more than $3 billion.
