"content": "\u003cp>The Trump administration has made it a priority to roll back government regulations, on everything from the environment to the internet. One \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-administration-seeks-to-change-rules-on-bank-lending-to-the-poor-1515624418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">target for reform\u003c/a> is the Community Reinvestment Act, or CRA, a 40-year-old law designed to get banks to invest in low-income communities and help them recover from the negative effects of redlining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It may be one of the most impactful laws people have never heard of,\" says Kevin Stein, deputy director of the California Reinvestment Coalition.\u003cbr>\n[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2018/02/WattCRA.mp3\" title=\"Recovering from Redlining in Oakland's Fruitvale. Has The Community Reinvestment Act Helped?\" program=\"KQED News\" image=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2018/02/08/Fruitvalesign.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stein estimates that, nationwide, the CRA has resulted in billions of dollars of loans, investments and financial services for low-income communities and communities of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To really understand the impact of the Community Reinvestment Act, it helps to know why it became law in the first place. It all goes back to the practice that came to be known as redlining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1930s, as the country was recovering from the Great Depression, the federal government wanted to encourage homeownership in cities that had suffered from waves of foreclosures. So it established the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC), to refinance mortgages at risk of default. As part of that effort, HOLC created maps of cities, to identify which neighborhoods were good investments and which were bad investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HOLC assigned each neighborhood a grade, according to the \"favorable\" and \"detrimental\" influences in the neighborhood. The presence of minority communities was among the so-called detrimental influences. Take Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood, for instance. A 1937 HOLC map of the area indicated these so-called detrimental influences: \"Odors from industries. Predominance of foreign inhabitants. Infiltration of Negroes and Orientals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648730\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 614px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11648730 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"1008\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut.jpg 614w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-160x263.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-240x394.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-375x616.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-520x854.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An \"area description\" of an Oakland neighborhood, produced by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in 1937. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the University of Maryland T-RACES project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fruitvale and other neighborhoods given low grades were colored red on the maps, which spawned the term \"redlining.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These neighborhoods were denied access to credit because the federal government refused to guarantee mortgages and other loans that were being made in these neighborhoods,\" said Carolina Reid, an assistant professor of city and regional planning at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That, said Reid, had a profound and lasting impact. \"The policy of redlining helped facilitate the disinvestment and the growing poverty in neighborhoods like Fruitvale,\" Reid said. \"Because we saw white flight to the suburbs and then we saw families that were remaining not being able to access credit to buy a home or to invest in a small business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1960s and '70s, activists raged about the decline of cities and the influence of discriminatory lending practices. That led to the passage of a number of laws, including the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CRA doesn't specifically outlaw redlining or discrimination against borrowers on the basis of race. Instead, it mandates that banks offer loans and other financial services to all communities where they do business, including low- and moderate-income areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the CRA, banks are encouraged to work with local community groups to find opportunities for loans or investments that can actually help a struggling community. In Oakland, the nonprofit Unity Council has taken on that role. With investment from banks, the Unity Council built Fruitvale Village, the transit village next to the Fruitvale BART Station. It includes 47 units of housing, restaurants, businesses and a bank branch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of investing in projects like Fruitvale Village, banks get credit for complying with the Community Reinvestment Act.

That led to the passage of a number of laws, including the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CRA doesn't specifically outlaw redlining or discrimination against borrowers on the basis of race. Instead, it mandates that banks offer loans and other financial services to all communities where they do business, including low- and moderate-income areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the CRA, banks are encouraged to work with local community groups to find opportunities for loans or investments that can actually help a struggling community. In Oakland, the nonprofit Unity Council has taken on that role. With investment from banks, the Unity Council built Fruitvale Village, the transit village next to the Fruitvale BART Station. It includes 47 units of housing, restaurants, businesses and a bank branch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of investing in projects like Fruitvale Village, banks get credit for complying with the Community Reinvestment Act.

The funeral home had cremated the other man’s body and sent Carmen Rogers his ashes. The body of her husband, Marvin, remained at the morgue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After learning of the mistake Rogers was “distraught,” according to court records -- “she had trouble sleeping, felt anxious, and missed work because she could not concentrate” and sought psychological counseling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carmen Rogers and her family held a second funeral, with the correct ashes, a month later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 2017, they sued Sheriff Moore and the funeral home for damages, to cover the costs of the second funeral, and for emotional stress and strain.

The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office contacted her in July 2017, more than a year after John Rogers’ death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Mike Reynolds phoned Zavala and said he wanted to meet with her in person to tell her what had happened to her father. According to coroner's documents obtained by KQED, he traded messages with Zavala for months before agreeing to her request to mail the police report and discuss the matter over the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Rogers was discovered dead on May 2, 2016, in the back parking lot of Bay’s Bistro, a shuttered Lodi restaurant, according to the coroner’s records. A homeless advocate found John lying on a pile of clothes with his head propped up against a fence. Detectives were able to identify him by a driver’s license in his pocket, but could not locate his next of kin. An autopsy and toxicology test determined the 59-year-old had died of an overdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John’s body had been at the morgue for a month, when, on June 6, 2016, coroner staff mistakenly released his remains to Marvin Rogers’ family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"lQM4UAkvM3BZfRbjPv9Xt2teAPtxfW2V\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case notes about his Oct. 6 call with Zavala, Sgt.

Deputies gave a Lodi family the body of a stranger -- a man who shared their father’s last name, but who was decades younger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The younger man, Robert Silva, 45, died on Oct 21, 2017, at Lodi Memorial Hospital from an infection in his blood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a month later, Richard Silva, 88, died of a heart attack at his senior living facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a week before officials in the coroner’s office realized they had given the wrong body to Richard Silva’s children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 11, deputies delivered Richard’s body to the family’s chosen funeral home and reclaimed the body of Robert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Dec. 12 computer entry states, “decedent was released in error on 12/04/07... Notification of the error has been made to next of kin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richard’s son declined to comment for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities determined Robert was indigent and cremated his body at the Bay Area Cremation and Funeral Service in Stockton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Learning From Mistakes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Shaw, with the California State \u003ca href=\"http://www.coroners.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coroners\u003c/a> Association, said these kind of mistakes are rare, “but we know it does happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaw, who is the supervising deputy coroner for San Bernardino County, said his department once discharged the wrong body to a family, back in 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know it's the most embarrassing thing to an agency because the trust that we hope to instill in families is completely gone,” Shaw said. “I think if that happened to me, I'd think, ‘What are these boobs doing?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaw said San Bernardino officials purchased a new casket for the deceased person and paid all the mortuary costs. Luckily, he said, the family was forgiving and did not sue the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaw said he tells that story as part of a training course he teaches for coroner deputies in California -- as an example of what can go wrong and how to prevent it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Bernardino County coroner adopted new procedures and has not repeated the mistake. Two autopsy assistants and a supervisor have eyes on every release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have adequate staffing.” Shaw said. “We make sure the procedures are there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaw said the fact that the San Joaquin County coroner mixed up bodies twice indicates the problem wasn’t adequately addressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean if you have two, there's something that they didn't probably put into place,” Shaw said. “It could be a multitude of issues, but it’s terribly embarrassing and wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/coroner/Pages/mec.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">medical examiner\u003c/a> in Santa Clara County, Michelle Jorden, said her office established protocols to reduce the chance of mix-ups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hasn’t happened here.” said Jorden, who added that each body in her morgue is assigned a case number that’s printed on a toe tag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The body will not be released until we have two people look at the toe tags and the matching paperwork,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Problems with adequately tracking bodies in the San Joaquin County morgue date as far back as 2013. That’s when a body went missing for more than six months. Sources close to the office said a technician discovered a badly decomposed body in the morgue. Meanwhile, the person’s relatives had been asking for their loved one for months -- and were told the body was not there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years Omalu has recommended purchasing a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for tracking bodies and specimens, a standard tool used by hospitals. He said the sheriff told him it was too expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one local mortuary in San Joaquin County, staff said that the coroner’s office has released the wrong body to them often enough that they now ask family members to view and identify each body before cremation or burial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff Moore declined to answer questions about how bodies are tracked in the morgue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who Should Pay the $352 Coroner's Fee\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another sign of mismanagement by the sheriff-coroner -- according to Omalu and Parson -- is that coroner's deputies bring hundreds of bodies to the morgue each year “unnecessarily.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In several memos documenting the issue, Omalu and Parson estimated that 40 percent of the bodies brought to the county morgue could have had death certificates signed by a treating physician, because the death was not unexpected or violent. That would spare families a $352 coroner’s transportation fee, and delays before they can cremate or bury a loved one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, in one weekend in June 2017, Parson wrote, four out of 11 bodies brought to the morgue could have been handled by outside physicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those bodies should have never even come to the morgue,” Parson lamented in a memo. “They should have gone straight to the funeral home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Annual reports from the San Joaquin County Sheriff-Coroner's Office show that in 2015, 351 bodies brought to the morgue -- or 32 percent -- were later referred to outside physicians to sign out. In 2016, it was 34 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The total handling fees for those potentially unnecessary transports added up to more than $100,000 each year in revenue for the sheriff's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families of the people who died in San Joaquin County may not have noticed they paid a fee for coroner’s services. The cost is publicly posted on the sheriff-coroner website, but mortuary companies pay that fee directly to the sheriff and then bill the families for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forensic pathologists say the extra work also taxes coroner resources and staff time, including detectives who spend hours contacting doctors to get them to sign death certificates, and autopsy technicians who move and store bodies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This gross inefficiency impacts everybody ... and increases both tangible and intangible costs for the family and for the county,” Omalu wrote in a Sept. 10, 2017, memo.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nSome Deaths Overlooked\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, the two forensic pathologists allege that the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office is not investigating some deaths that it should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one case, the family of a Lodi woman who died in January fears they’ll never know the cause of death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracy Espinosa described what happened to her fiance’s sister in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648892\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 160px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11648892\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/29307_transform-1-160x213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"213\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tracy Espinosa of San Joaquin County \u003ccite>(Julie Small/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Espinosa said her fiance's sister, Julie Russell, had been cooking dinner around 7 p.m. on Jan. 22, 2018. Three hours later, she died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 60-year-old had a case of flu, and possibly pneumonia and heart problems. She also had a history of drug addiction and alcoholism, and her bedroom contained empty liquor bottles and prescription painkillers for her arthritis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russell’s son found her lying on the floor and called an ambulance and then called relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police cars and an ambulance were already at the house when Espinosa arrived that Monday night to find Russell flat on her back, eyes wide open, foaming at the mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Espinosa does research for law enforcement on cold cases, so she knew the \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=GOV§ionNum=27491.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">criteria\u003c/a> for a coroner to take a case. She was surprised when the sheriff’s deputy said he wasn’t going to take Russell’s body to the morgue -- even though she thought Russell was an obvious coroner's case. The deputy told her to pick a funeral home instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By Friday the coroner’s office told me they were coming to get her body and that they were going to charge me $350,” Espinosa said. “I said, ‘What are you talking about? She's been at the funeral home for four days. Now you're going to go get her?’ \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coroner conducted an autopsy, but Espinosa said she was told the results won’t be available for three to four months. Espinosa said she is supporting Sheriff Moore’s opponent in an upcoming election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omalu and Parson documented other cases where law enforcement officers failed to notify them of people who died under questionable circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One recent example involves the fetus of a woman who miscarried at 32 weeks, a month after her boyfriend assaulted her. According to an Aug. 25 memo titled “Gross Negligence of Possible Fetal Homicide,” Parson wrote that the woman told a funeral home employee about the assault and the funeral home relayed the information to the detective right after the baby died on July 9, yet no case had been opened on the death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I asked why he didn’t bring this to my or Dr. Omalu’s attention before now and he responded that he’s been busy,” she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parson said by the time she learned of the baby’s death several weeks later, it was far too late to be able to determine whether or not it was related to the assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am deeply troubled that somewhere along the line, gross negligence occurred in the management of this case allowing a potential fetal homicide to fall through the cracks,” Parson wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The doctors say these kinds of mistakes can happen when law enforcement officers are asked to perform medical duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Patrol Deputies Receive Minimal Training on Death Investigations\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt.

Details of the handling of Marvin Rogers’ death were also revealed in internal sheriff-coroner records obtained by KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rogers agreed to have her husband cremated, and the coroner’s office sent his body to Zapata Funeral Home, according to a computer entry in coroner records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family held a funeral service for Marvin with the urn of what they thought were his ashes in the room; some of his cremated remains were also placed inside 14 necklaces given to his grandchildren, according to the complaint filed in San Joaquin County Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648886\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11648886\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/29313_transform-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Necklaces that can hold cremated remains for sale in San Joaquin County mortuary. \u003ccite>(Julie Small/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But about a month after the funeral, Rogers received a call at work from the sheriff’s office, asking her to meet “to discuss an important matter,” according to the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complaint details how sheriff's detectives explained that the coroner’s office had mixed up her husband’s body with the body of another man with the same last name. The funeral home had cremated the other man’s body and sent Carmen Rogers his ashes. The body of her husband, Marvin, remained at the morgue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After learning of the mistake Rogers was “distraught,” according to court records -- “she had trouble sleeping, felt anxious, and missed work because she could not concentrate” and sought psychological counseling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carmen Rogers and her family held a second funeral, with the correct ashes, a month later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 2017, they sued Sheriff Moore and the funeral home for damages, to cover the costs of the second funeral, and for emotional stress and strain. The family is currently in settlement negotiations with the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who Was Cremated?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Theresa Zavala, the daughter of the man who had been mistakenly cremated, had no idea where her father was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zavala, who lives outside Los Angeles, had not heard from her dad, John Rogers, for months and she filed a missing person’s report, according to her attorney. The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office contacted her in July 2017, more than a year after John Rogers’ death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Mike Reynolds phoned Zavala and said he wanted to meet with her in person to tell her what had happened to her father. According to coroner's documents obtained by KQED, he traded messages with Zavala for months before agreeing to her request to mail the police report and discuss the matter over the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Rogers was discovered dead on May 2, 2016, in the back parking lot of Bay’s Bistro, a shuttered Lodi restaurant, according to the coroner’s records. A homeless advocate found John lying on a pile of clothes with his head propped up against a fence. Detectives were able to identify him by a driver’s license in his pocket, but could not locate his next of kin. An autopsy and toxicology test determined the 59-year-old had died of an overdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John’s body had been at the morgue for a month, when, on June 6, 2016, coroner staff mistakenly released his remains to Marvin Rogers’ family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case notes about his Oct. 6 call with Zavala, Sgt. Reynolds recounted, “I explained how the incident occurred, our actions upon discovering it occurred, and the steps we have taken to prevent it from happen[ing] again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simran Sekhon, Zavala’s attorney, said the coroner promised to send Zavala her father’s remains — but to this day, she has not received them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They did not have an opportunity to have a funeral,” Sekhon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zavala and her two sisters filed claims against San Joaquin County in January, in preparation for a lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Another Mix-Up\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2017 the coroner’s office repeated the mistake -- of releasing the wrong body -- that had caused Carmen Rogers and Theresa Zavala so much distress. Deputies gave a Lodi family the body of a stranger -- a man who shared their father’s last name, but who was decades younger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The younger man, Robert Silva, 45, died on Oct 21, 2017, at Lodi Memorial Hospital from an infection in his blood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a month later, Richard Silva, 88, died of a heart attack at his senior living facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a week before officials in the coroner’s office realized they had given the wrong body to Richard Silva’s children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 11, deputies delivered Richard’s body to the family’s chosen funeral home and reclaimed the body of Robert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Dec. 12 computer entry states, “decedent was released in error on 12/04/07... Notification of the error has been made to next of kin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richard’s son declined to comment for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities determined Robert was indigent and cremated his body at the Bay Area Cremation and Funeral Service in Stockton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Learning From Mistakes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Shaw, with the California State \u003ca href=\"http://www.coroners.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coroners\u003c/a> Association, said these kind of mistakes are rare, “but we know it does happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaw, who is the supervising deputy coroner for San Bernardino County, said his department once discharged the wrong body to a family, back in 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know it's the most embarrassing thing to an agency because the trust that we hope to instill in families is completely gone,” Shaw said. “I think if that happened to me, I'd think, ‘What are these boobs doing?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaw said San Bernardino officials purchased a new casket for the deceased person and paid all the mortuary costs. Luckily, he said, the family was forgiving and did not sue the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaw said he tells that story as part of a training course he teaches for coroner deputies in California -- as an example of what can go wrong and how to prevent it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Bernardino County coroner adopted new procedures and has not repeated the mistake. Two autopsy assistants and a supervisor have eyes on every release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have adequate staffing.” Shaw said. “We make sure the procedures are there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaw said the fact that the San Joaquin County coroner mixed up bodies twice indicates the problem wasn’t adequately addressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean if you have two, there's something that they didn't probably put into place,” Shaw said. “It could be a multitude of issues, but it’s terribly embarrassing and wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/coroner/Pages/mec.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">medical examiner\u003c/a> in Santa Clara County, Michelle Jorden, said her office established protocols to reduce the chance of mix-ups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hasn’t happened here.” said Jorden, who added that each body in her morgue is assigned a case number that’s printed on a toe tag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The body will not be released until we have two people look at the toe tags and the matching paperwork,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Problems with adequately tracking bodies in the San Joaquin County morgue date as far back as 2013. That’s when a body went missing for more than six months. Sources close to the office said a technician discovered a badly decomposed body in the morgue. Meanwhile, the person’s relatives had been asking for their loved one for months -- and were told the body was not there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years Omalu has recommended purchasing a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for tracking bodies and specimens, a standard tool used by hospitals. He said the sheriff told him it was too expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one local mortuary in San Joaquin County, staff said that the coroner’s office has released the wrong body to them often enough that they now ask family members to view and identify each body before cremation or burial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff Moore declined to answer questions about how bodies are tracked in the morgue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who Should Pay the $352 Coroner's Fee\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another sign of mismanagement by the sheriff-coroner -- according to Omalu and Parson -- is that coroner's deputies bring hundreds of bodies to the morgue each year “unnecessarily.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In several memos documenting the issue, Omalu and Parson estimated that 40 percent of the bodies brought to the county morgue could have had death certificates signed by a treating physician, because the death was not unexpected or violent. That would spare families a $352 coroner’s transportation fee, and delays before they can cremate or bury a loved one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, in one weekend in June 2017, Parson wrote, four out of 11 bodies brought to the morgue could have been handled by outside physicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those bodies should have never even come to the morgue,” Parson lamented in a memo. “They should have gone straight to the funeral home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Annual reports from the San Joaquin County Sheriff-Coroner's Office show that in 2015, 351 bodies brought to the morgue -- or 32 percent -- were later referred to outside physicians to sign out. In 2016, it was 34 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The total handling fees for those potentially unnecessary transports added up to more than $100,000 each year in revenue for the sheriff's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families of the people who died in San Joaquin County may not have noticed they paid a fee for coroner’s services. The cost is publicly posted on the sheriff-coroner website, but mortuary companies pay that fee directly to the sheriff and then bill the families for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forensic pathologists say the extra work also taxes coroner resources and staff time, including detectives who spend hours contacting doctors to get them to sign death certificates, and autopsy technicians who move and store bodies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This gross inefficiency impacts everybody ... and increases both tangible and intangible costs for the family and for the county,” Omalu wrote in a Sept. 10, 2017, memo.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nSome Deaths Overlooked\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, the two forensic pathologists allege that the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office is not investigating some deaths that it should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one case, the family of a Lodi woman who died in January fears they’ll never know the cause of death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracy Espinosa described what happened to her fiance’s sister in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648892\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 160px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11648892\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/29307_transform-1-160x213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"213\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tracy Espinosa of San Joaquin County \u003ccite>(Julie Small/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Espinosa said her fiance's sister, Julie Russell, had been cooking dinner around 7 p.m. on Jan. 22, 2018. Three hours later, she died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 60-year-old had a case of flu, and possibly pneumonia and heart problems. She also had a history of drug addiction and alcoholism, and her bedroom contained empty liquor bottles and prescription painkillers for her arthritis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russell’s son found her lying on the floor and called an ambulance and then called relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police cars and an ambulance were already at the house when Espinosa arrived that Monday night to find Russell flat on her back, eyes wide open, foaming at the mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Espinosa does research for law enforcement on cold cases, so she knew the \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=GOV§ionNum=27491.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">criteria\u003c/a> for a coroner to take a case. She was surprised when the sheriff’s deputy said he wasn’t going to take Russell’s body to the morgue -- even though she thought Russell was an obvious coroner's case. The deputy told her to pick a funeral home instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By Friday the coroner’s office told me they were coming to get her body and that they were going to charge me $350,” Espinosa said. “I said, ‘What are you talking about? She's been at the funeral home for four days. Now you're going to go get her?’ \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coroner conducted an autopsy, but Espinosa said she was told the results won’t be available for three to four months. Espinosa said she is supporting Sheriff Moore’s opponent in an upcoming election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omalu and Parson documented other cases where law enforcement officers failed to notify them of people who died under questionable circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One recent example involves the fetus of a woman who miscarried at 32 weeks, a month after her boyfriend assaulted her. According to an Aug. 25 memo titled “Gross Negligence of Possible Fetal Homicide,” Parson wrote that the woman told a funeral home employee about the assault and the funeral home relayed the information to the detective right after the baby died on July 9, yet no case had been opened on the death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I asked why he didn’t bring this to my or Dr. Omalu’s attention before now and he responded that he’s been busy,” she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parson said by the time she learned of the baby’s death several weeks later, it was far too late to be able to determine whether or not it was related to the assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am deeply troubled that somewhere along the line, gross negligence occurred in the management of this case allowing a potential fetal homicide to fall through the cracks,” Parson wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The doctors say these kinds of mistakes can happen when law enforcement officers are asked to perform medical duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Patrol Deputies Receive Minimal Training on Death Investigations\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Steve Walker, who retired from the San Joaquin Sheriff’s Office in 2012, said he did not receive enough training on death investigations in the academy for patrol officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I got was a manual with the words ‘coroner cases’ on it,” Walker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that wasn’t enough to prepare him to determine who should go to the morgue and who could go directly to a mortuary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648883\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11648883\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29304_IMG_0944-qut-800x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29304_IMG_0944-qut-800x683.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29304_IMG_0944-qut-160x137.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29304_IMG_0944-qut-1020x870.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29304_IMG_0944-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29304_IMG_0944-qut-1180x1007.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29304_IMG_0944-qut-960x819.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29304_IMG_0944-qut-240x205.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29304_IMG_0944-qut-375x320.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29304_IMG_0944-qut-520x444.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sgt.

Detectives in the sheriff-coroner’s office in San Joaquin County fall under this category, but deputies like Walker, who have a variety of duties, receive some initial training, followed by just a few hours of in-service training on coroner cases each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff Moore’s information officer, Deputy Dave Konecny, referred questions about staff training requirements to the San Joaquin County counsel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A New System for Investigating Deaths\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county counsel and district attorney both said they are investigating the allegations made by Omalu and Parson, but two months on, neither agency has announced any findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county Board of Supervisors has commissioned an analysis of coroner operations, which will include a comparison of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.counties.org/county-office/sheriff-coroner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sheriff-coroner\u003c/a> system with a medical examiner system -- in which a forensic pathologist, rather than a law enforcement official, oversees death investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the Board of Supervisors and residents want it,” Moore said late last year, “I would fully support separation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the coroner’s functions are taken over by a medical examiner, Moore would continue in his elected role as the county sheriff and public administrator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent Board of Supervisors hearing, County Administrator Monica Nino said the study on the sheriff-coroner operations will not be ready until April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president of the San Joaquin Medical Society criticized “the lack of urgency” in addressing the allegations in a letter to supervisors this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes are high,” Dr. Grant Mellor wrote. “We are about to lose two highly respected, hardworking forensic pathologists.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Butte County District Attorney Michael Ramsey has filed a lawsuit against the California Department of Water Resources seeking $34 billion to $51 billion in civil penalties for environmental damage following the failure of the Oroville Dam spillways last February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That proposed penalty is based on an earlier estimate of the volume of concrete, rock, and dirt that washed into the Feather River after the dam's main and emergency spillways experienced catastrophic erosion. A more recent and significantly higher DWR estimate of the material eroded into the river could lead to a demand for an even higher penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramsey's suit, announced Wednesday, was filed under \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=5650&lawCode=FGC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a law dating back to 1875\u003c/a> that seeks to protect fish and other wildlife by banning the dumping of harmful materials into the state's waterways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statute, amended many times since its 19th century adoption, provides for penalties of as much as $10 per pound for dumping \"any substance or material deleterious to fish, plant life, mammals, or bird life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure of the dam's main spillway on Feb. 7, 2017, began a process that DWR initially said eroded 1.7 million cubic yards of concrete, rock and dirt into the Feather River. In a 400-page report submitted to federal regulators late last month, the department said 2.2 million cubic yards of debris wound up in the river channel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The discharge transformed the river into a turbid, mud-filled stream and forced the state Department of Fish and Wildlife to rescue millions of juvenile salmon from its Oroville hatchery and transfer them to another facility nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The deleterious nature of the material was spotlighted and proved by the evacuation of the Feather River Fish Hatchery,\" Ramsey said. \"It was too dangerous for the salmon and steelhead there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramsey said the Fish and Game Code does not require the county to show anything beyond the fact the Oroville spillway debris was harmful to wildlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no need to prove that they willfully or negligently intended to pass through deleterious material. Basically, you dump, you're liable,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butte County officials, state legislators and local residents have complained for months that DWR has failed to address the issue of sediment that remains in the river and other impacts from the debris. Agency Deputy Director Cindy Messer told an Assembly committee hearing last month that DWR was \"currently having dialogue with the members of the various communities to talk about that particular item.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Butte County lawsuit estimates the weight of the Oroville spillway sludge at between 2,000 pounds and 3,000 pounds per cubic yard. Multiplying that number by 1.7 million -- the number of cubic yards -- yields an overall weight estimate of 3.4 billion to 5.1 billion pounds. The \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=5650.1.&lawCode=FGC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state law's maximum penalty\u003c/a> of $10 per pound would bring the DWR's total fine to between $34 billion and $51 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the suit seeks to base the penalty on the larger 2.2 million cubic yard figure DWR currently cites, the maximum penalty could reach $66 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit also asks for a $25,000 per day penalty to be levied for the period between Feb. 7 and Feb. 27, 2017, when most of the debris was washed into the river.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To put $51 billion (or $66 billion) into perspective: Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed 2018-19 budget, which covers everything California state government does, is $190 billion. The state's bullet-train project carries a projected price tag of $67 billion. The estimated cost of the proposed Delta tunnel project has been put at $10 billion for a newly scaled-down version. The entire Department of Water Resources 2017-18 budget, including funding for operating the State Water Project, is about $2.4 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those outlandish-sounding penalties may never come to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law specifies $10 per pound as the \u003cem>maximum\u003c/em> penalty, and a court could set a lesser amount if it finds DWR liable for the alleged dumping. The law also calls for penalties to be reduced \"for every ... pound of the ilegally discharged material that is recovered and properly disposed of by the responsible party.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Water Resources reported last May it had removed virtually all of the 1.7 million cubic yards of debris that it said wound up at near the foot of the shattered concrete spillway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DWR now says that it has recovered 1.4 million cubic yards of the 2.2 million it now estimates washed into the river.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In January 2017, when UCSF announced that the Helen Diller Foundation was contributing a half-billion dollars, school Chancellor Sam Hawgood said, “I have to pinch myself every time I think about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hawgood’s going to have to keep pinching. The Helen Diller Foundation has now doubled down on its gift to the university with another $500 million donation. The funds will be used to build a new, state of the art hospital at UCSF's Parnassus Heights campus by 2030. The new hospital will be built on the site currently occupied by the Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital, which will be torn down. Langley outpatient services will be relocated to a new building in San Francisco's Dogpatch neighborhood; inpatient services will remain somewhere on the Parnassus campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hawgood called the donation \"transformative\" and \"beyond my wildest expectations,\" not to mention \"an exhilarating experience.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I couldn’t be more delighted for what it means for the patients we will care for for generations to come,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new funds will bring the foundation’s total donations to the university to roughly $1.15 billion, putting the school right at the top of of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.chronicle.com/article/Major-Private-Gifts-to-Higher/128264\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">list\u003c/a> of academic institutions that have received massive funds from a single organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCSF, part of the University of California system, includes schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing and pharmacy.

Tracing its \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucsf.edu/about/history-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">roots\u003c/a> back to 1864, the university has five Nobel Prize winners on staff, and an impressive portfolio of \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucsf.edu/about/achievements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scientific achievements\u003c/a>, including the discovery of vitamin E back in 1923 and the co-discovery of HIV in 1983.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new hospital at Parnassus Heights will take over inpatient care now administered in UCSF's Moffitt building, part of the Moffitt-Long Hospital at \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/505+Parnassus+Ave,+San+Francisco,+CA+94143/@37.7630895,-122.4600031,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x8085875762cbdad5:0x30442fa9192ab3e1!8m2!3d37.7630895!4d-122.4578144\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">505 Parnassus Avenue\u003c/a>.

The school is just now beginning a year-long planning process to upgrade the Parnassus Heights site. Renovations are part of a $5 billion fundraising campaign, which includes the Diller donation for the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The majority of the campus was built between 1950 and the mid-1970s. So the facilities are showing their age,\" Hawgood said. \"We’ll be looking to refurbish many of the research buildings ...

Diller was a billionaire who made his money as founder of the Prometheus Real Estate Group, one of the largest owners of apartment buildings in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his wife, Helen, who died in 2015, established the Helen Diller Family Foundation in 1999. In 2003, the foundation donated $35 million to create the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Care Center, at UCSF's Mission Bay Campus. Back then, $35 million was the largest gift by a single donor in UCSF history. But that amount was dwarfed by the family's whopping $500 million donation in late 2015. At the time, it was matched only by \u003ca href=\"https://www.philanthropy.com/factfile/gifts_detail?GiftDonorJoin_a_DonorID=PGDON1706\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$500 million gifts\u003c/a> to each of two Oregon universities from Nike co-founder \u003ca href=\"https://www.philanthropy.com/factfile/gifts_detail?GiftDonorJoin_a_DonorID=PGDON1706\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phil Knight\u003c/a>.

Now we are doing what we are able to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bulk of the initial $500 million Diller donation went toward retaining and recruiting faculty and supporting students at UCSF’s four professional schools, some of it in the form of scholarships.

Tracing its \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucsf.edu/about/history-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">roots\u003c/a> back to 1864, the university has five Nobel Prize winners on staff, and an impressive portfolio of \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucsf.edu/about/achievements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scientific achievements\u003c/a>, including the discovery of vitamin E back in 1923 and the co-discovery of HIV in 1983.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new hospital at Parnassus Heights will take over inpatient care now administered in UCSF's Moffitt building, part of the Moffitt-Long Hospital at \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/505+Parnassus+Ave,+San+Francisco,+CA+94143/@37.7630895,-122.4600031,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x8085875762cbdad5:0x30442fa9192ab3e1!8m2!3d37.7630895!4d-122.4578144\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">505 Parnassus Avenue\u003c/a>. Without retrofitting, Moffitt would no longer be able to house patients after 2030, according to state law. The new hospital will also be part of UCSF Health, the health care network \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2015/10/136716/ucsf-health-system-expand-care-throughout-bay-area-and-beyond\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">launched\u003c/a> by the university in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2003, the university opened a more modern campus in San Francisco's Mission Bay neighborhood. The school is just now beginning a year-long planning process to upgrade the Parnassus Heights site. Renovations are part of a $5 billion fundraising campaign, which includes the Diller donation for the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The majority of the campus was built between 1950 and the mid-1970s. So the facilities are showing their age,\" Hawgood said. \"We’ll be looking to refurbish many of the research buildings ... Science has moved on; the need for different kinds of facilities are also required.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Diller Largesse\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCSF pushed back the announcement about the donation a couple of days out of respect for the Diller family, who saw its partriarch, Sanford Diller, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Real-estate-developer-philanthropist-Sanford-12553646.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">die\u003c/a> last Friday at the age of 89. Diller was a billionaire who made his money as founder of the Prometheus Real Estate Group, one of the largest owners of apartment buildings in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his wife, Helen, who died in 2015, established the Helen Diller Family Foundation in 1999. In 2003, the foundation donated $35 million to create the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Care Center, at UCSF's Mission Bay Campus. Back then, $35 million was the largest gift by a single donor in UCSF history. But that amount was dwarfed by the family's whopping $500 million donation in late 2015. At the time, it was matched only by \u003ca href=\"https://www.philanthropy.com/factfile/gifts_detail?GiftDonorJoin_a_DonorID=PGDON1706\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$500 million gifts\u003c/a> to each of two Oregon universities from Nike co-founder \u003ca href=\"https://www.philanthropy.com/factfile/gifts_detail?GiftDonorJoin_a_DonorID=PGDON1706\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phil Knight\u003c/a>. (Knight also gave $400 million to Stanford in 2016.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A billion-dollars-plus to a single educational institution, albeit a public one, did get us thinking about the issue of\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=effective+philanthrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> effective philanthropy\u003c/a>.

(W)e have been presented with the joy of participating in the development of an entirely new section of this very beautiful city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She repeated her feelings of attachment to the city, and to UCSF, in a 2009 interview with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/health/article/Helen-Sanford-Diller-fund-UCSF-cancer-center-3296458.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>, which provides a good window into some of her motivations. \"I was born in San Francisco at Mount Zion hospital. UCSF is known to have the finest scientists and doctors,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She continued: \"There is a Hebrew expression, '\u003cem>Tikkun olam\u003c/em>,' which means to repair the world. My parents did things in a small way because that is what they could do. Now we are doing what we are able to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bulk of the initial $500 million Diller donation went toward retaining and recruiting faculty and supporting students at UCSF’s four professional schools, some of it in the form of scholarships. UCSF also created a discretionary $100 million \"innovation fund.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family is also known for contributing to Jewish causes, funding UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz Jewish studies programs, renovating the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Kahn_(congressman)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Julius Kahn\u003c/a> in the Presidio, and a leadership \u003ca href=\"http://dillerteenfellows.org/en/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">program\u003c/a> for Jewish teenagers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recognition of the latest donation, UCSF has renamed its complex of medical buildings on campus as the UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center at Parnassus Heights.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And people should always wash their hands. Hand sanitizer doesn’t always kill the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within 24 hours of Monterey County declaring the outbreak, neighboring Santa Cruz County said its hep A outbreak is over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Cruz County, 76 people got hep A.
