Dear Gov. Newsom,Our Brown, rural, binational community is falling apart.In a rural, binational community located in the dry desert along the U.S. border, between the coast of San Diego and state of Arizona, lies our Imperial Valley. In a region serving 179,000 residents − plus visitors from the neighboring capital city of Mexicali, off-road enthusiasts who visit the Imperial Sand Dunes each year, annual 'snowbirds,' and our local prison population -- there's no way that one of the two remaining hospitals within County lines could possibly close, right? Right? The idea of a hospital closing in such an area, especially one in the progressive state of California that touts social justice and equity, seems ridiculous.
