Summary
Regional Medical Center (RMC) marks its first year under Santa Clara County management, restoring critical services like Level 2 trauma, stroke, cardiac care, and labor and delivery that were previously cut. Since reopening, RMC has seen a 38% increase in admissions and delivered thousands of life-saving interventions. The County is expanding the Emergency Department, with completion expected by early 2027, to better serve the Eastside community. Additionally, the newsletter warns residents about deadly mushrooms in county parks, promotes an Easter Egg Hunt event at Joseph Grant County Park, and highlights ongoing road closures related to the Eastridge to BART Regional Connector Project. It also announces the upcoming APALI 2026 AAPI Public Policy Summit focusing on health, immigrant rights, and housing issues.
