Gilroy and MH police get new mobiile command center VEHICLE WILL HELP AGENCIES COORDINATE RESPONSE TO LARGE EVENTS Michael Moore Editor
Jaquelne McCoo.
Morgan Hill and Gilroy police celebrated the arrival of a new mobile command center that Morgan Hill acquired through multiple rounds of grant funding. The Morgan Hill Police Department took delivery of the new vehicle the morning of Dec. 21 at the station on Vineyard Boulevard. The command vehicle, manufactured by LDV, is a hightech RV equipped with satellite communications facilities, birds-eye camera views from atop a collapsible 50-foot tower extension, command staff meeting room and all the features needed to allow public safety first responders to efficiently coordinate their efforts and see everything around them during a large-scale disaster or criminal incident. The vehicle will facilitate emergency response to events such as wildfires, floods, earthquakes and other incidents that require a multi-agency response from fire, police, sheriff ’s and state and federal agency personnel, Morgan Hill police explained.

IT’S MIDNIGHT Connie Rogers, president of the Gilroy Historical Society, shows off the intricate clock mechanism on an upper floor of Old City Hall.
Clock is stuck A YEAR OF STALLED TIME AT THE CITY’S HISTORIC BUILDING Jaqueline McCool Reporter
A look inside Old City Hall today, in the heart of downtown Gilroy, will show families enjoying a meal and maybe a gathering of coworkers in one of the building’s various banquet rooms. But, a closer look reveals more than 100 years of history, found in large iron doors, hidden
dumbwaiters and, of course, the large clock that sits at the top of the building—its four clock faces visible from the outside, with the inner workings of the old timepiece preserved in a plexiglass box on the building’s second floor. Through facelifts and deed changes, Old City Hall has fought hard to preserve its history, with the Gilroy Historical Society and vigilant residents on its side. The building was under threat of being demolished twice, once in the 1970s and again after the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989,
which left Old City Hall in need of retrofitting and repair. Now one of the seven buildings Gilroy has on the National Register of Historic Places, Old City Hall is the home of a restaurant by the same name, leased from the city by Fran and Bobbly Beaudet. Connie Rogers, president of the Gilroy Historical Society, believes the success of the newest venture to live inside Old City Hall comes from the commitment the Beaudets have made to honoring the history of the building.
Other tenants, Rogers said, have tried to erase the building’s past with the city and modernize its unique style, which is classified as Baroque and Mission Revival style designed by architect Frank Delos Wolfe . The building is a place where time literally stands still, as the clock hasn’t worked for about a year. Walter Dunkel, facilities manager for the city, said the problems with the clock mostly have to do with its advanced age. ➝ Gilroy rings, 4

In Saint Louise Regional Hospital, Santa Clara County will be buying a hospital in need of some improved computer resources, but with a dedicated, quality staff providing adequate care.
That’s the view of a special ombudsman appointed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to conduct a required assessment of the quality of care provided by the hospital during its period of protection under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. “The general milieu of the hospital during our time spent showed administration’s significant dedication to the hospital, and the patients they serve,” concluded Jacob

Conflicting views of local land use continued to dominate many South County residents’ lives in 2018. This was the case with the release this summer of the proposed Cordoba Center’s Environmental Impact Report. The mosque and community center project is proposed by the South Valley Islamic Community on Monterey Road near California Avenue in San Martin. The project has been in the initial planning stages for years, but the release of the EIR marks a key milestone in making the mosque a reality. After county planning staff and the public have completed a review of the study of the property, county officials will begin the project permitting and approval process, which will likely last through 2019. In 2019, city and county officials will likely continue to butt heads over what is the best way to preserve farmland while respecting property owners in the Southeast Quadrant. From elections, to the re-emergence of the rodeo, it was a year of crazy headlines in the Garlic City. JANUARY
Sal protected wife and daughter
On Jan. 6, during the Saturday evening dinner rush at Pinocchio’s Pizza, Sal Oliveri’s restaurant at Church and Welburn, a man rushed in waving a large knife. When he lunged at his daughter, Gina Oliveri Polhaupessy, Oliveri and his son-in-law Duke leaped into action, pushing the man toward the door. They ended up on one of the tables, and the man swung the knife toward Oliveri’s throat. When Oliveri raised his arm to block the blow, the assailant slashed it with his knife, then fled the store, as Duke was able to lock the door. Gina was on the phone with the 911 dispatcher throughout
the frightening fracas, and the attacker was arrested without incident a blocks away a few minutes later. Oliveri’s right arm has a brace and heavy bandage from his bicep to his fingers. He has use of his hand, but more surgeries lie ahead before he knows whether he will regain full use of his arm to be able to throw pizza dough as he has for four decades. FEBRUARY
Gilroy loves its contest winners
The Gilroy Downtown Business Association announced winners of its second annual “Downtown is for Lovers” essay contest and promotion. Alyssa Sutton wrote the winning essay about her continuing romance with husband Levi. The winner was selected by judges at the Gilroy Dispatch from multiple entries. The winning essay read: “We fell head over heels for each other the first day we laid eyes on each other. We had our first date at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. We spent that first date holding hands and kissing on the Ferris wheel. Ever since that day we haven’t gone a day without talking to each other. Even with our hectic work lives, we still make time to add to our love story. He spends his days on a firetruck, I spend mine answering 911 calls. We may only get to see each other once or twice a week sometimes, but those days are the best days of my life. We bought our first house together here in this amazing garlic city. We love spending our nights together at our favorite restaurants and shops in town. We love going on bike rides to get ice cream or just enjoy the daylight together. We’re newlyweds that argue like an old couple, but we are also newlyweds that love like an old married couple. We share our love and hope our love we have for each other can radiate to everyone around us.” Alyssa and Levi Sutton MARCH
‘Justice for Stevie’
In response to the death of Stevie Juarez while in police custody in Old Gilroy, the nonprofit Community Agency for Resources,
Advocacy and Services (CARAS) joined up with Juarez’ friends and family to begin the “Justice for Stevie” campaign. The effort began Saturday, March 10, with a protest march starting at 11am on the 7400 block of Chestnut Street, where Juarez was involved in a struggle with Gilroy police officers in January of 2018 that ended in his death. Juarez died shortly after police responded to a 911 call on Feb. 25 reporting a suspicious person in a residential yard on the 7400 block of Chestnut Street. When Juarez saw the responding officers, he fled on foot, over fences and onto rooftops of other homes, according to police. When officers caught up to him lying on the ground in front of a home, they tried to arrest him, but Juarez allegedly struggled against them. Police said they used a variety of force techniques to subdue him, including a Taser and a carotid restraint. During the struggle, Juarez fell into medical distress and was transported to San Jose Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. APRIL
Mayor Hughan gets her portrait
The Gilroy City County agreed to give former Mayor Roberta Hughan an oil portrait, in connection with a house cleaning effort at the Wiley Cultural Center. The painting was done by Gilroy artist Carol Peters in 2007. Hughan asked the city if she could have the painting, at the same time that the council was looking at disposing of a number of paintings and old furniture that had accumulated at the Gilroy Museum over the years. The former mayor was the city’s first elected female council member, in 1977, and served as Gilroy’s first and only female mayor from 1983 to 1991. MAY

New police van ready for big events ➝ Command, 1
Although the command vehicle is a regional asset that will be shared among local agencies, the City of Morgan Hill took the lead role in its acquisition. MHPD obtained two grants from the state Homeland Security Grant Program that funded more than 100 percent of the vehicle’s $600,000-plus cost, Palsgrove said. The grant program is funded by federal dollars passed through to the states, to fund projects at the local level. The city council accepted the grants, and police ordered the vehicle from LDV in July 2018. The Morgan Hill police chief gave credit to Palsgrove for persisting through the grant process and securing the funding for the new command center on wheels. “Our success in the grant process would not have occurred without
the work of Capt. Shane Palsgrove. He shepherded this project from council acceptance through project delivery,” Swing said. The command vehicle is the only one of its kind in South County, Palsgrove said. But it is “fully interoperable” with similar emergency vehicles stationed with police departments in the northern part of the county, should those agencies ever need assistance from the Morgan Hill/Gilroy vehicle during a disaster or other large-scale event. One of the conditions of the federal grants is the vehicle has to be available as a regional asset—for Gilroy police and fire and the county sheriff’s office, for example. Gilroy Police Capt. Kurt Svardal was present at Morgan Hill Police station Dec. 21 for the local unveiling of the vehicle.

actions to quickly resolve incidents” using the vehicle and its equipment. The vehicle will also be useful in a police response to potential criminal threats such as a hostage situation or active shooter incident, MHPD Capt. Shane Palsgrove said. And it can provide an eye in the sky for public events that draw large crowds—such as the Morgan Hill Mushroom Mardi Gras and the Gilroy Garlic Festival—so that officers can be watchful of any disturbances or missing children, for example. Police Chief David Swing said, “One of the most foundational aspects of any response is communication. Effective communication helps enhance our response, and this helps us coordinate communication” during large-scale responses.

Old clock could be working in 2019 Gilroy rings, 1
Rogers and Fran Beaudet were shocked a few weeks ago when the time on the clock suddenly changed after months of being stuck at 12:00. However, the excitement was short-lived; the hands were stuck at 8:50 once the repair company took a look. Then after interviews for this story, it moved again, to 12:01am—fitting for the New Year. Dunkel anticipates it may be three to four months before the historic
time piece is up and running again. As for whether or not the city worries the clock could be broken beyond repair, Dunkel said, “the people that do work on these have a great deal of experience, and it’s usually their love as well as their work.” So as Gilroy rings in another new year, Old City Hall will stay stuck in time, a relic of the past and a reminder of the city’s rich history and bright future.
Robert Eliason
The clock was donated to the city by local philanthropist Caroline Hoxett in 1914. Built by Seth Thomas Clock Co. in Thomaston, Connecticut, the clock has to be wound twice per week. The responsibility for maintenance falls on the city. Dunkel said repairing the clock has gotten increasingly difficult. “There’s not too many people left that still do this,” Dunkel told the Dispatch.
“It’s kind of a lost art.” After the previous clock repairman became too old to continue his craft, the city had to find another option to get the 100-year-old clock working again. The city is now in talks with a San Franciscobased company to fix the clock. Dunkel declined to share the name of the company because of the ongoing negotiations, he said the clock had been looked at recently to assess the necessary work.
TIME STANDS STILL After being stuck at 7:50 for several weeks, the four clock faces at Old City Hall moved to 12:01.

City Hall. Velasco, elected to his first term in 2016, said this week he left his job with the county on May 7. He had been a policy aide for Wasserman, specializing in land use issues in unincorporated areas. “Right now there are a lot of things happening in Gilroy,” he said in an interview. “I want to have more flexibility to make sure things are happening.” As mayor, Velasco is paid $15,084 a year. Council members are paid annual salaries of $10,056; the full-time city administrator has an annual salary of $210,000. “The voters expect me to focus all of my energy and attention on Gilroy, even if it is only a small monthly stipend,” he said.

Hecker Pass is growth battleground
JULY
Barry Holtzclaw
After a raucous debate on June 7, the planning commission deadlocked over the “agri-tourist” Hecker Pass development proposal. The commission’s inconclusive 3-3 tie vote meant that the Gilroy City Council would vote on the plan’s approval. The development, on six acres between Lone Oak Lane and Hecker Pass Highway, will be a mixeduse, residential/commercial development that features three buildings with 32,758 square feet of commercial space. The plan calls for a winery, restaurants, a deli, a wine shop and 22 live/ work apartments. The project would have 178 parking spots for customers and 39 for the residential units. After four hours of debate and impassioned pleas from Gilroy citizens for and against the development, the council approved the plans in a 4-3 vote. Council members Fred Tovar, Cat Tucker, Dan Harney and Peter Leroe-Muñoz voted in favor of the project.

Plans for $1 billion reservoir advance
The Santa Clara Valley Water District is moving forward with plans to build a new Pacheco Pass reservoir in Santa Clara County, which the district describes as a “gamechanger” to ease the impact of future droughts in the Bay Area. If $485 million in state funds are approved this month, supporters say they could raise the rest of the $969 million project budget from federal grants and increased water rates to build the largest reservoir constructed in the Bay Area in the past 20 years. The water district board on June 26 approved a memorandum of understanding between the Santa Clara Valley, Pacheco Pass and San Benito County
water districts and approved an option to buy land with the Pacheco Pass Water District for the massive dam and reservoir project, which has been in the planning stages for a decade. AUGUST

A look at Gilroy schools in ‘18 TEACHER STRIKE THREAT DEFINES A ROCKY 2018 Scott Forstner Reporter
File photo
Battle lines were drawn in 2018 between members of the Gilroy Teachers Association and officials in the Gilroy Unified School District as contract negotiations dragged on for most of the year. Gilroy teachers— among the lowest paid in the entire county—had been working without a contract since June 2017 and were at their wits’ end. District leaders claimed to be tapped out of additional funds to cover significant salary increases for their largest employees union. Both sides provided valid points and counterpoints for much of 2018, as private negotiations began to spill over into public forums and social media. Picketing prior to board meetings and impassioned speeches inside district headquarters were commonplacwe. After negotiations reached an impasse, an independent mediator was brought in and a report was compiled on the state of negotiations. However, with a firstever teacher strike in Gilroy becoming more of a possibility, district and teachers union negotiators reached an agreement in September that came with a 6 percent pay raise over 18 months.
TEACHERS MARCH Gilroy teachers hit the streets seeking pay increases in 2018.
Budget cuts loom
That new deal came with a caveat, one that will force GUSD to make nearly $5 million in budget cuts over the next two years, with the very real possibility of a school closure. A perfect storm of declining enrollment and an unavoidable increase to the district’s
employee retirement benefits contribution led to the budget reductions list. The school board, which swore in three firstyear trustees (Anisha Munshi, Enrique Diaz and Tuyen Fiack) and one incumbent (Linda Piceno) in December, will have some very difficult
decisions to make in 2019 in shaping Gilroy’s education future. December was also the final meeting for outgoing trustees Heather Bass, Patricia Midtgaard and Jaime Rosso. But plenty was done in 2018. One key development also due to declining
enrollment came early in the year, when the school board followed district staff recommendation to shift $160 million Measure E dollars from building a new elementary school to upgrading its two aging middle schools, South Valley and Brownell Academy. The district
hasn’t killed its plan to build the new school on a 12.74-acre site at the corner of Santa Teresa Boulevard and Club Drive near Solorsano Middle School, but put it on hold until the need is there. Along with ➝ Schools, 11

Gilroy has always been hit and miss when searching for organic foods. So, Tony Anagnostakis and his father, John, decided to open South Bay Natural Foods. They try to source foods that are not typically found in the area. Although not all the food is organic, they strive to only sell healthy and natural foods. Those wanting gluten-free will find a large selection. They also sell a good selection of farm and pet items. If you need goat treat, a water trough, chicken feed or anything in between they probably have it. The best part of walking into South Bay Natural Foods is how genuinely nice and friendly Tony and John are. South Bay Natural Foods is located at 8120 Westwood Drive.

improvements to the two middle schools, which remain in the planning phase heading into 2019, GUSD leaders finalized upgrades to Gilroy High School with a new twostory math building as well as a new aquatics center on the GHS campus coming in 2019. Gilroy’s Christopher High School made the pages of National Geographic in a May 2018 article titled “Muslims in America: A New Generation,” after a student spoke of her experiences with bullying due to her Muslim religion. However, while this story brought to light to intolerance issues at the school, the student touted positive outcomes throughout her 2018 school year. In another national article, which proved positive for Gilroy, Dr. TJ Owens Gilroy Early College Academy was among the top 25 high schools in California. This according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2018 Best High School Rankings. The elementary school was awarded a gold medal for its accomplishment as the 23rd best in the state out of a pool of 2,100. It was also ranked 172nd among 20,500 public high schools evaluated across the country by U.S. News & World Report.
NEW MATH CLASSROOMS Gilroy High School got a new addition to campus, a two-story math building. recognized as a California Distinguished School by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson and as a top Bay Area public school for underserved students by Innovate Public Schools. A heartwarming story in 2018 came at the South Valley Junior High promotion ceremony. As student Angelina Zuno was making
her way through congratulations from school and district staff on stage, there was one last person waiting for her. It was her stepfather Jared Rustman, an active duty staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force who had returned from his deployment in the Middle East to surprise her. They embraced in a touching moment.
In March 2018, local student activists joined the national movement to make schools safer and push for stiffer gun control in the aftermath of another senseless school shooting in Parkland, Fla.

GILROY DISPATCH
JANUARY 4, 2019

COPTER IS READY Saint Louise Regional Hospital has a helicopter pad for emergencies.
St. Louise needs computer systems Saint Louise, 1 Nathan Rubin, the courtappointed ombudsman. The bankruptcy judge on Dec. 19 was expected to approve the purchase of the Gilroy hospital, along with O’Connor Hospital of San Jose by the county from Verity Health System. Santa Clara County was the sole bidder, at $235 million. The ombudsman’s Dec. 10 report, filed Dec. 14, is required by law to ensure continuing acceptable patient care. The report gives a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a local hospital.
Report Highlights
A final decision has not yet been made whether the county will continue to contract for hospital and intensive care physicians with San Jose Medical Group, which is part of Verity Medical Foundation. The hospital’s Electronic Medical Record system “remains a systemwide problem that limits the organization from
performing well ... despite their efforts at providing quality patient care,” the report said. Saint Louise does not have a computerized physician order entry system to elicit and extract information to accurately demonstrate appropriate care to outside accreditation and monitoring organizations. Psychiatry and neurology are lacking for the inpatient cases. Rubin stated that although a peer review system was changed systemwide, Saint. Louise “does a great job of monitoring its physicians.” The hospital’s accreditation report was reviewed, and revealed several plant management issues “that were of low likelihood to cause harm with corrective action.” All the findings were corrected, or at least a plan of action was deemed acceptable by the accreditation commission. Saint Louise got a C grade from hospital safety
grade.org for the fall of 2018, the spring of 2015, fall of 2015, spring of 2016, fall 2016, spring of 2017 and fall of 2017, and a D grade for the spring of 2018. Most of the complications relating to data and safety grades for Saint Louise were related to the “inadequate electronic medical record requirements.” Rubin said this includes their absence of a computerized physician order entry system. “Despite the lack of a computerized physician order entry system and suboptimal electronic medical records, Saint Louise was able to perform adequately in significant patient care areas.”
Few problems with Surgery
The hospital scored well in the categories of dangerous objects left a patient’s body, surgical wound splits open, dangerous blood clots, and cuts and tears. Here are some other measures: Collapsed lung data: hospital score was 0.32, best hospital score 0.11, average hospital score 0.29, and worst hospital score 0.47. Serious breathing problem: score 11.35, best hospital score 1.71, average hospital score 8.23, and worst Hospital score 17.91. Doctor’s order medications through a computer: score 15, best hospital score 100, average hospital score 69.80, worst Hospital score 5.

Harney and Marques had engaged in a contentious campaign, with Harney raising more money and Marques banking on solid neighborhood support. Marques led by more than 2,000 votes one week after the election, in unofficial returns from the Nov. 6 vote. The three incumbents running for four-year seats all easily won by wide margins.
Marie Blankley, who was appointed to her council seat less than a year ago, won her first election and was the top vote-getter among all candidates.

Terrific trio
TOGETHER Mia Ledesma-Old Elk, Kat Javier and Bria Drew-Davis are three of the key players for a Christopher High team that has the potential to
contend for the Pacific Coast League’s Mission Division championship. The Cougars prepared for league play with a tough non-league slate.
COUGARS AIM TO BE IN THE MIX TO BE AMONG BEST IN THE DIVISION emanuel lee Sports Editor
Robert Eliason
With four returning starters off last year’s team, Christopher High has high hopes to capture the Pacific Coast League Mission Division championship this season. Even with all of the talent coming back, Cougars coach Shirley Lampkin said the team still has to coalesce into one unit, where everyone shares the basketball and buys into the system. “It’s all about coming together as a team and getting a couple of the girls to play with us instead of being individuals,” Lampkin said. “We’re getting there and we have a bright future, but it’s going to take some time to put it all together.” Christopher went 3-5 over its first eight games, having played some tough non-league competition like Gunderson and Oak Grove. In returning starters Kat Javier, Mia Ledesma-Old Elk, Mikaela Santiago and Sophia Ayala, the Cougars have four players who have the capability to make an impact in every contest in at least one area of the game. Lampkin goes up to 10 players deep during a game, and players like Bria Drew-Davis, Rhyan Maldonado, Emma Horn and Bianca Duarte are expected to make strong contributions this season. Javier, a junior 5-foot-2 point guard, possesses the most skill. Javier can create her own shot and has the ability to get hot from 3-point range. At times, Javier will have to carry the load if the Cougars are to be successful. However, Lampkin knows it’s going to take a team effort for Christopher to
achieve its potential. Santiago plays tough defense, LedesmaOld Elk provides strong rebounding and an inside presence, and Ayala provides toughness and makes the hustle plays. “Sophia brings that extra gumption you need from a player on the court,” Lampkin said. “She keeps everyone in line and is a leader.” Maldonado and Horn are often the first two reserve players who come in and boost the team. “Rhyan plays with a passion and loves the game,” Lampkin said. “She’s a great player-coach in that I can ask her at practice to help explain something and she can relay that to everyone. And Emma is scrappy and hustles, always giving her full effort.” Lampkin is also high on freshmen Hanna Smith and Emily Baumgartner. Lampkin said Duarte and Halina Bass are coming along nicely and Athena Arellano will be an impact player once she returns in the second week of January. At 5-9, DrewDavis is undersized as a post player; however, the senior has a strong basketball acumen and plays with a toughness that has been developed by playing with college men players. “Bria has been doing an amazing job at center,” Lampkin said. “She’s been phenomenal inside in terms of rebounding and setting screens.” Drew-Davis is one of the feelgood stories in the South Valley, as she missed most of her junior season last year due to a concussion she suffered at the very end of the water polo season. Even though Drew-Davis had sustained a Grade 1 (mild) concussion, there was nothing mild about it, as any concussion has serious health consequences. Drew-Davis missed two weeks of school and had side effects for three months. In that time, Drew-Davis suffered cluster headaches, a series of painful, short headaches that hit Drew-Davis with regularity. She was also sensitive to light and noise, the latter which proved to be highly irritating. So
STANDING TALL Mia Ledesma-Old Elk looks to pass at a recent practice. The Christopher High sophomore post,
who is one of the tallest players on the team, has been solid rebounding the ball and playing tough interior defense.
it’s no wonder that Drew-Davis counts it as a huge accomplishment for getting back on the court this season as in improved player no less. “I’m thankful I’ve been able to get better,” she said. “Once I got healthy, I got more serious in basketball.” Indeed, even when the team didn’t have practice on Dec. 18—it was finals week—DrewDavis went to the Morgan Hill Recreation Center to practice with her boyfriend, who plays in college. Drew-Davis has two half-brothers whom she is close with, including Tyler Davis, who is playing with the Oklahoma City Thunder’s G-League team and was a
standout player at Texas A&M. Davis is 6-10 and 266 pounds, and Bria’s other half-brother, Logan, is a 6-9 center playing at San Jose City College. “I feel short next to them,” Bria said with a chuckle. “When I think about it, it doesn’t even feel real seeing how tall they are. I grew up feeling tall, but I fall short all the time now.” Bria is close with Logan, and the two often go to the same facility to work on their conditioning and skills. In fact, it’s not a stretch for the two to be practicing together at 4 a.m. on a random morning. Drew-Davis has gained inspiration from seeing the time Logan has put into the game.
“It might be a cliché, but it really is blood, sweat and tears,” she said. “Seeing him want it so much, you grow to love basketball that much more and aspire to be like him.” Even though basketball is her No. 1 passion, Drew-Davis loves water polo and singing. She played four years of water polo at Christopher, developing into a tough, gritty player. “Playing water polo helped me to be more aggressive in basketball,” she said. “I used to be timid, but in water polo if you’re not throwing your body around, you won’t do well. So I started playing more physical, which has helped me in basketball in so many ways.”

Good Samaritan Hospital’s neonatology group has, for many years, been assisting HHMH with the stabilization and transport of high-risk newborns, and supported physicians with telephone consultations. “We have a long-standing relationship with Hazel Hawkins, built over the last 10 to 15 years, and this is the next step,” said Dr. Richard Powers, MEDNAX affiliated neonatologist and Chief of Staff at Good Samaritan Hospital. HHMH pursued a partnership with Pediatrix due to the need for full-time pediatric support at the hospital. Currently most pediatricians in Hollister have established office-based practices and cannot staff the hospital. “Pediatrix has a history and national reputation for providing excellent care to newborns and children,” said Ken Underwood, HHMH CEO. “This partnership will bring experience and vital support to our top-tier Women’s Center and ER, and to children admitted to Hazel Hawkins Hospital”
