Ar rowhead Regional Medical Center is a Designated Comprehensive Stroke Center

A

rrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) was awarded Comprehensive Stroke Certification by the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP), the nation’s original independent, accreditation program. Certification confirms that this specialty of ARMC is providing high quality care as determined by an indeEchevarria in 1999 with the agency.

Since 2002 Echevarria has been busy serving the San Bernardino community, first as a police officer, and subsequently a sergeant since 2018.

“My public administration program at CBU gave me the push to run for city council. It provided me with a deeper insight on leadership and during this time I began routinely attending city council meetings. During and after my program I began visiting neighborhoods in the city, the city’s administration, and local businesses to ask and determine what their thoughts and goals are for our city,” said Echevarria.

The Colton native, who’s been married for 19 years and has 4

pendent, external process of evaluation.

“ARMC clearly demonstrates a commitment to quality and patient safety,” said HFAP Vice President, Meg Gravesmill. “We base our decision on the findings of an extensive and thorough onsite review of the Comprehensive Stroke Certification against stanchildren under the age of 18, was raised by a single mother, and to date credits his childhood journey as his motivator to strive for success.

“I resided in the housing projects in both San Bernardino and Colton. We were dependent on public assistance, my family was issued food stamps and we had Medi-Cal. Going through these sometimes embarrassing moments pushed me to strive for success,” continued Echevarria.

Now and in the near future, Echevarria sees continued success for the city of Colton.

“My three biggest goals while serving the city are to enhance, improve and ensure. It’s my mission that while I serve our constituents our city enhances public safety, improves city-wide cus-

dards for organizational operations and clinical services that drive patient safety and continuous quality improvement. ARMC has earned the distinction of HFAP certification through its performance in successfully meeting those standards.”

“We’re proud to achieve this prestigious certification,” Dan tomer service, and ensures community success,” Echevarria said.

One stringent attribute Echevarria brings to the table is his accessibility to constituents in the fifth district and beyond.

“I want my community to know that I’m a full-time first responder and a full-time city council member. I’m committed to helping constituents and your patience with me is greatly appreciated.

Although I’m a fifth district councilmember, I’m here to assist anyone’s needs in the city,” said Echevarria.

Echevarria said those with inquiries can directly reach him at 909-252-6929 or by email jechevarria@coltonca.gov.

Meeting the standards to treat the most complex stroke cases, ARMC’s stroke center has the capacity to provide acute care, administer tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), and deliver other

acute therapies safely and efficiently. In addition, ARMC is a several time recipient of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines Stroke Quality Achievement Awards, recognizing the hospital’s commitment to ensure that stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence.

CJUSD Superintendent Frank Miranda, Ed.D. noted in his nomination that Mrs. Munsterman has done much to support student and staff success as well as to help our community at large.

She has supported the district’s focus on literacy by incorporating literacy-focused questions into the interview process for certificated staff.

She also has organized HR Book Clubs for her staff.

Mrs. Munsterman also supports communication and collaboration. For example, she established roundtable discussions for principals to ensure school leaders have a forum to share best practices throughout the district.

She also works to help all employees grow. An example is the annual Classified Boot Camp (held virtually this year) which provides professional development opportunities for classified staff members. In 2019, she brought a Women’s Empowerment Luncheon to the district to mentor and support female leaders. Mrs. Munsterman and her team recognize and support excellence at all levels of the district through the Employee Recognition Award Program and annual Retirement and Longevity program.

CJUSD thanks Mrs. Munsterman for all she has done for our district.

Fr ontline healthcar e wor ker s fir st to r eceive Pfizer vaccine The County has established the SB County Vaccination Task Force and produced a COVID-19 Standard Operating Guide to ensure our ability to distribute the vaccine as efficiently and effectively as possible. The guide largely follows guidelines established by the CDC, the California Department of Public Health and the County Department of Public Health.

not already included, and Phase 4 includes everyone not already inoculated.

“We have a plan in place, and we will move quickly to protect our most at-risk and vulnerable residents,” said Board of Supervisor Chairman Curt Hagman. “That includes making sure we handle and store the vaccine properly,” he added, noting that the Pfizer vaccine must be stored at -80 degree Celsius (-120 Fahrenheit), requir-

ing special facilities and materials like dry ice (frozen CO2).

“We still face challenges from this virus, and will continue dealing with infections and illness for several weeks and even months.

However, this is a crucial development that gives us hope for the future, and we will work tirelessly to ensure every county resident has a chance to get vaccinated at the earliest possible date,” Hagman said.

San Bernardino County has launched a vaccine-specific information webpage that shares up-todate information where we are in the different phases of the vaccine distribution, as well as critical FAQs and other resource links.

rontline healthcare workers on Wednesday, Dec. 16, at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center today became the first people in the Inland Empire to be administered the first of two doses of the COVID19 vaccine from Pfizer-BioNTech. This morning, San Bernardino County received its first shipment of the vaccines, which are anticipated to be disbursed to 19 hospitals within the

county by the end of the day.

Pfizer is shipping three million doses in this first wave, of which California is initially receiving 327,000 doses; 15,600 have arrived in San Bernardino County.

Subsequent shipments of the vaccine are expected to continue arriving on a weekly basis, and a second vaccine from Moderna is only days away from FDA approval.

Because the initial batches of doses are being rationed, the vaccine is being initially administered to front-line healthcare personnel, followed by residents and staff of long-term care and skilled nursing facilities. First responders will also be among the first people in the county to receive the vaccine.

In Phase 2, distribution of the vaccine will be expanded to include K-12 teachers and staff, childcare workers, critical workers in essential and high-risk industries, residents with comorbidity/underlying conditions, staff and residents of group facilities, and older adults not included in Phase 1. Phase 3 adds young adults, children and workers in industries and occupations

On the one hand, people must be encouraged to do the simple things that we know help mitigate the spread of the virus. Wearing masks, washing hands, and avoiding crowds or close contact with individuals are all ways in which we can help to keep the virus at bay and our families as safe as possible.

Public health officials have a duty to continue reminding residents of the dangers and the need to stay vigilant, especially when it appears that some are becoming lax in taking precautions.

At the same time, local, state, and federal leaders, whether politicians or public health officials, would do well to remember that what is being asked of the general population is not easy. People are, for the most part, doing the best they can.

Yes, some are not taking the virus as seriously as maybe they should, but most are. Go to a local store, visit a restaurant, or just walk around town and you’ll see the vast majority of people wearing masks.

Major events in people’s lives have been postponed or canceled. Jobs have been lost. Businesses have closed or are hanging on by a

So, a certain level of sympathy should be mixed with calls for renewed vigilance. Those resistant to such recommendations aren’t acting irrationally. They are expressing the obvious and understandable frustration at having to give up something important to them … a moment in time they may never get back.

And we should never give in to the temptation to view a positive COVID-19 test as the sign of a person’s irresponsibility. It should not become the “scarlet letter” of our time, worn as some indication that a protocol was ignored or science was disbelieved. One can take all the recommended precautions and still get the virus. That’s the way the world in general and illness in particular work.

We all need to be smart about our behavior and do what we can to stay safe. But our leaders should always remember that people are doing what they can under extraordinary circumstances, and that’s deserving of sympathy and understanding, not disappointment.

strange disease that originated in Wuhan, China. By March, we were locked down in our homes and have lived unprecedented disruptions of normal life since then.

All along we have looked to science for a remedy—holding our breath behind our masks.

Finally, two COVID-19 vaccines are now being released. This is extremely good news. The virus that causes COVID-19 is an insidious little beast that has disrupted the entire world, and effective vaccines are welcome. In a cost-benefit analysis, vaccines offer tremendous blessings with relatively few drawbacks.

But suddenly there’s a lot of hesitation about this thing we have looked to as our hope out of this mess. Some are reluctant to take the vaccine because of its development during a political administration they don’t like, and some are reluctant to take it because of its administration (to most of us) during a political administration they don’t like. And its stunning speed getting to us is concerning to many.

I think we have acquired cultural amnesia about vaccines.

I grew up not long after the Polio scares, and in my childhood heard horror stories about outbreaks that left many in iron lungs for the rest of their lives. The disease claimed paupers and presidents; even President Franklin Roosevelt was not exempt, his body permanently weakened and crippled after acquiring the disease as a young man. Decades ago, vaccines were not taken for granted, because we were close to the plagues that still tormented us. The Spanish Flu epidemic was a century ago, and during this holiday from history we have forgotten how desperately people desire to prevent or cure or just effectively treat disease, but there was no technological cure to assuage the suffering of a century ago.

We in the 21st century have drunk from the river Lethe. We have forgotten why we had to develop all these vaccines, and why it was necessary to immunize.

Smallpox was a disfiguring scourge that may have killed up to 10% of humanity before the advent of Jenner’s innoculation.

COVID-19 is not so bad as that, but it is bad enough. There has never been a coronavirus vaccine

very contagious, and cases are rare, so it was not deemed necessary to develop vaccines for them.

Four others cause some colds, but these are rarely dangerous, so developing a vaccine (or antiviral drugs) is a waste of effort when pharmaceutical expertise could be directed to more needful projects.

enabled us to figure out how to make fast vaccines with streamlined regulations. I believe most of these regulations should be permanently removed, so that drug and vaccine discovery don’t cost well over a billion dollars and a decade of development time.

That’s not sustainable.

Now we have another coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease we call COVID-19. When it first came to light, I told my students that a vaccine would be developed soon, hopefully by the end of the year.

The time and expense it takes to create a vaccine or to market a drug is a regulatory nightmare. It should never take that much time and treasure to manufacture vaccines and drugs. But because that’s what we’re used to, some assert that the COVID vaccines are “rushed.”

I suspected that small-molecule antiviral drugs to lessen the severity of the illness would be very difficult to find, and it has proven to be so.

Why was I confident that we would be able to produce vaccines against COVID-19? It has to do with the mutation rate of the virus.

HIV mutates so quickly that it’s almost impossible to raise a vaccine against it, although researchers are still trying.

Epidemiologists and virologists must decide each year which strains of influenza viruses they want to raise vaccines against, and they do a good job predicting the season to come, but it can be hitor-miss, because the mutation rate of flu bugs is so high. SARS-CoV2 mutates with some frequency, but fortunately its mutation rate is roughly a quarter that of influenza viruses.

I thought that COVID-19 would be a good candidate for a vaccine.

In early fall 2020, there were several vaccines in phase III trials worldwide. The Johnson and Johnson vaccine triggered too may contraindications (deleterious side effects) and was withdrawn.

Two vaccines are being approved and implemented in the United States as of this writing, with others in development and testing.

This is a signal accomplishment, and all responsible—from President Donald Trump and his Warp Speed program to all the researchers worldwide—should take a bow. These are mRNA-based vaccines, too, which is really slick. Never has a vaccine gone from pathogen discovery to vaccine approval in less than a year— it is unprecedented.

The president removed a lot of regulations and accelerated the process of vaccine discovery. Ne-

That might be true relative to what we have had to live with in the last decades. The expense of vaccine and drug discovery has been escalating, to the point that manufacturers can’t afford to bring to the public many drugs that are critical to human wellbeing.

For example, new antibiotics are too expensive to develop, because the manufacturers know they cannot turn a profit on them. This is tragic, because we now see more antibiotic-resistant bacteria than ever before. Pharmacologists see an impending crisis barreling towards us. The amount of regulation we have now is far more than was required in the 1960s, when the FDA was cautious enough to ban thalidomide for pregnant women in the United States.

It is indeed cause for celebration that COVID vaccines are already being distributed, and I will not hesitate to take the vaccine, though I have a good understanding of the coronavirus and do not fear it. I think we have done what our historical moment called for, and I hope biomedicine of the future will be all the better for it.

Redlands High School students winner of Aguilar’s Congressional App contest

OFFICE OF PETE AGUILAR

Congressman Pete Aguilar meets virtually with RHS students (in no particular order) William Porayouw, Diya Theodore, Sanjana Fernando, and Richa Jos who were declared winners of the 2020 Congressional App Challenge for their mental health and wellness app Eudemonia.

O

n Monday, Dec. 21, Rep. Pete Aguilar announced that William Porayouw, Diya Theodore, Sanjana Fernando, and Richa Jos, all students at Redlands High School, are the winners of this year’s Congressional App Challenge for the 31st Congressional District. Their app, Eudemonia, is a mental health and wellness app designed to provide users with a daily check-in and connect them with helpful resources and activities.

The team met with Rep. Aguilar in a virtual ceremony held earlier this week.

“The Congressional App Challenge is a great chance for Inland Empire students to show off their

creativity and ingenuity, and that’s what team Eudemonia has done with their app. I’m always proud to highlight the talented young people in our region, and I look forward to sharing their accomplishments in the US Capitol,” said Aguilar.

“Mental wellness has always been an important matter to me, and in an age of social distancing, it is something that I strongly feel needs more public awareness.

Doing work at the intersection between technology and social activism has not only made me conscious of my role as a student in STEM, but as a citizen,” said William Porayouw.

“We created Eudemonia in an effort to promote mental wellness during a time in which we have seen fear and instability dominate the lives of many of our loved ones. Being able to work on this app with such an inspiring group has led me to realize the beauty of being able to bridge the barriers between computer science and social reform,” said Diya Theodore.

"During the pandemic, I've come to realize that technology is only increasing its relevance in a modern world. However, the way we use these incredibly powerful tools is up to us. Spotlighting mental wellness in a fun and creative way can help us be more mindful of our fast-paced lives,

The teams will compete virtually over a two-day period from Jan. 20-21. Redlands from Redlands Unified will match legal skill with Cajon from San Bernardino City Unified. Los Osos and Rancho Cucamonga from Chaffey Joint Union will battle for courtroom domination. Each group will act as both the prosecution and defense.

Only two teams will emerge from the two-day competition to secure a spot in the event finals on Jan. 23.

Redlands seeks a back-to-back championship—extending its

record to 17 San Bernardino County Mock Trial championships. Cajon returns to the semifinals hoping to win its second title. Los Osos and Rancho Cucamonga are returning to compete for the gold.

The Mock Trial competition simulates a criminal case where students portray the principal courtroom characters on both the prosecution and defense sides of a case before a real judge. This year’s case is People v. Croddy—

the trial of Lee Croddy, an aiding and abetting case. Twenty-six county teams competed virtually in four preliminary rounds which ended on Dec. 9.

The San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools and the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s office co-sponsor the event. The winner of the county competition will advance to the California Mock Trial Finals scheduled for March 18-21, 2021.
