Recognizing Local Healthcare Institutions’ Response to COVID-19 March 15, 2022
WHEREAS, healthcare officials – to include all levels of staffing at each hospital, every healthcare center and pharmacy and every emergency medical response team in our community – have proven during the COVID 19-health pandemic to be frontline heroes for all of the Napa Valley; and WHEREAS, the responsibility, dedication and fortitude of these devoted individuals to continue administering services in the face of danger and uncertainty serves as an absolute inspiration to all; and WHEREAS, Napans are fortunate to have top quality healthcare providers serving our region, including the Queen of the Valley Hospital, OLE Health, and Kaiser Permanente, as well as independent doctors, paramedics and clinics; and WHEREAS, the Queen of the Valley Hospital is the only Level Three trauma center in our region offering twenty-four hour emergency care and since the beginning of the COVID pandemic has treated almost 950 individuals through its emergency services, has additionally provided care for over 530 patients admitted for hospital stays due to COVID, and has provided support to the community through PPE donations, vaccination clinics, and partnership with Public Health; and WHEREAS, OLE Health was critical to meeting the community’s needs for COVID testing and mass vaccination clinics that ultimately helped thousands of Napans get vaccinated, particularly among underserved populations; and WHEREAS, Kaiser Permanente’s Napa Medical Offices provided vaccination and testing, and leveraged the resources of their larger Northern California network to assist local Napa members; and WHEREAS, healthcare professionals at all levels continuously served through extreme exhaustion and a critically short-staffed workforce and the pledge healthcare officials have taken to provide quality care and ensure patient safety is and always has been critical to the welfare of our entire City. Napans are privileged to have access to the tireless, quality healthcare they provide.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Scott Sedgley, Mayor of the City of Napa, along with the City Council, do hereby recognize the contributions of our local healthcare institutions and express sincere gratitude to the healthcare officials and employees who have worked tirelessly during the pandemic, answering the call to serve our community, and putting the needs of others ahead of their own. Their sacrifices do not go unnoticed and will not be forgotten.
