Daniel Wolcott, President of Adventist Health Lodi Memorial Hospital and Dameron Hospital, speaks to U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Edward Siguenza, a mass communications specialist with the California National Guard, July 28, 2020 at Lodi, California. Mr. Wolcott spoke about the help they have received from the military. California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently declared the state’s central valley as a COVID-19 focal point, noting a significant spike in coronavirus-related cases. Adventist Health Lodi Memorial and Stockton’s Dameron Hospital are two San Joaquin County facilities embedding medical teams from Task Force 46, Joint Force Land Component Command, U.S. Army North. “The rising community transmission rates we are seeing are concerning. This is alarming and we are taking action,” Newsom said, while announcing, “we are making $52 million available to counties in the Central Valley to support local public health departments with additional resources to stop the spread of the virus and reduce the number of hospitalizations related to COVID-19.” U.S. Northern Command, through U.S. Army North, remains committed to providing flexible Department of Defense support to states in need as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency in support of the whole-of-nation COVID-19 response.
