While any reduction of supplemental services is concerning, CDPH cannot compel facilities to provide them. CDPH is monitoring the situation and ensuring basic services at Regional Medical Center are provided.
The cuts have negative impacts on healthcare services for disadvantaged communities in East San José, causing harm to historically underserved and marginalized members, possibly leading to preventable fatalities.
As the clock ticks on the closures and cuts at Regional Medical Center, the denial from CDPH limits potential interventions to avert service loss, prompting calls for Attorney General and Governor intervention.
Bonta's office is reviewing the situation but cannot comment on any potential investigation to maintain its integrity, leaving uncertainty about potential actions to prevent discriminatory impact from service cuts.
