August 27, 2021--Friday, as the surge in Covid 19 infections has filled local hospitals to capacity, and reports of deaths from the virus are becoming a daily occurrence, dozens of local doctors and medical providers signed a letter addressed to the community of Mendocino County asking for help. The letter describes the dire conditions healthcare providers are seeing at work every day: emergency departments overflowing, full ICUs, and a surge of sick young patients with covid-19. The doctors are urging Mendocino County residents to stem the tide of new infections by getting vaccinated.
Dr. Erica Valdovinos and Dr. Drew Colfax are two of the doctors who signed on to the letter.
