hello, mary ann. >> hi, terry, and happy father's day to you. at this restaurant alone, we found two different families that missed out on father's day celebrations last year and spent today making up for lost time. a toast to dad face to face, without masks and with lots of smiles. this is the father's day randy campbell missed out on last year. because of covid restrictions, he couldn't be with all three of his kids. and today, after more than a year, he gets to finally see his daughter in person. >> it means the world, you know. it's a lot better to have it in person than on a telephone or -- you know, it's just more personable and more rewarding for me as a father. >> reporter: and his other daughter plans to fly in to see him tomorrow now that covid travel restrictions have been lifted. we spoke several other dads who
8:12 pm
had lackluster face time celebrations last year. an added bonus, going out to dinner with them without wearing a mask. it wasn't just the dads we talked to today. we talked to several adult children who said they felt homesick during covid and they're so thrilled to be reunited again with their dads. reporting live in campbell, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. coming up next, we investigate complaints against a well-known south bay hospital. what we found out about patient care and profits. and cooling changes starting to kick in around the bay area, especially around the north bay. but they may not last very long in our 7-day forecast. when 90s could be making a comeback in just a couple minutes.
8:15 pm
london has turned into mass vaccinations, partly as an attempt to get younger people vaccinated for covid-19. >> everyone is pulling together and it's going incredibly well. the atmosphere is great, smiles on people's faces. very much worthwhile. >> july 19 is when most of britain's covid restrictions are set to end. serving its patients or focusing on profits? accusations of staffing and patient care dropping while profits rise at a major silicon valley hospital. we're talking about good samaritan hospital in san jose. investigative reporter candace here's what she found is causing an uproar. >> reporter: good samaritan started as a pillar of health
8:16 pm
care here in the south bay. now it's an example of some of the most dire health care and health cost problems nationwide, nurses and experts say. from flies inside the icu and maggots in a patient's nose to dangerously low staffing levels in the labor and delivery unit. >> that's not safe. >> reporter: to losing its county covid-19 allocation, to leaving a patient nearly stuck on its roof. nurses have been complaining about good samaritan hospital for months. >> make some noise! >> reporter: prompting our investigative unit to track complaints and violations at the hospital, finding out how the once premiere silicon valley facility fell from grace as nurses say. >> it's scary some days going into work. >> they would just expect us to take as many patients as we could handle. >> reporter: state records show
8:17 pm
good samaritan has had more than double the number of complaints than the state average for at least the past three years. this complaint substantiated by state inspectors describes a patient laying on a bedpan for six hours. this lawsuit accuses the hospital of losing a body because another body was stacked on top of it. good sam settled the case saying the body was later located after a failure to follow storage protocol. >> just nothing surprises me at this point. >> reporter: the centers for medicare and medicaid services rate hospitals on their overall performance. good samaritan has a 2 out of 5-star rating. >> which is pretty well below average. >> reporter: would you go to a hospital with that rating? >> i would be hesitant to. >> reporter: christopher search corporation. they rated 3,000 hospitals. they found despite its problems, good sam's health care costs sit
8:18 pm
above the national average, which is not surprising, he says, given its parent company, hca health care. >> hca is one of the, if not the, largest hospital systems in the country. when hospitals get bigger, prices go up and quality of care either doesn't get any better or in some cases gets worse. >> it's become intolerable. >> reporter: it wasn't always like this, nurses tell us. in 1965, good samaritan opened its doors to the south bay initially funded by the church. it operated as a non-profit for decades until 1996 when hca acquired it. that's when things started going south, rossman says, with staffing and safety issues reaching a boiling point during the pandemic. >> i had a patient that was pregnant with covid, and i was stuck in that room for over three hours, trying to get somebody's attention so i could get supplies that i needed. i mean, i was afraid for her life.
8:19 pm
>> reporter: meanwhile, hca's stock about doubled from the pandemic. given lawmakers we told you about earlier this week, hca reported $3.7 billion in profits last year. wang says she felt misled. >> recently they used covid as an excuse, staying, we lost so much money that we have to constrain. >> reporter: so what's the hospital saying? our team reached out to good samaritan's executive team but did not get a response. hca declined our interview request, and instead sent a reply stating, the nursing staffing shortage is a problem are. we are doing our best to hire more nurse. we self-reported some instances last year. these nurses are reaching their limits. they feel the good side of health care at good sam is getting in the way of the
8:20 pm
mission. >> human rights? you have to draw a line somewhere. >> reporter: multiple nurses tell us state inspectors have been investigating this hospital as recently as this week. hca confirms inspectors have been here but did not specify why. with the investigative unit, i'm candice nguyen. we're following a wildfire up in shasta county. it's already burned more than 400 acres and it's spreading. it's being called the calfire and you see it right there. it's forcing evacuations from the area. that's the mill valley area of shasta county north of redding. here in the bay area, if you are smelling smoke, it is not from that fire, right? >> the willow fire. you probably saw it in the skies. we'll look at the air quality coming up. we're about 12 hours away from the start of summer, and it looks like it. that fog has made a big
8:21 pm
comeback. 58 degrees right now. wind coming off the ocean and we'll see more of that ocean air the next couple days. san rafael 63 degrees. livermore 70s to low 80s today. the tri-valley did reach the low 90s, cooling quickly to 70 degrees. and there you see the distance. some of that smoke i'm talking about moving the willow fire. these are the skies of san jose, 68 degrees. speaking of the willow fire, we had more wind picking up during the day today, so we saw that smoke column rise up, push more smoke to the south bay and parts of the east bay. again, the wind aloft as we show you the air pollution impact away from the willow fire. you can see how this kind of curves up past gilroy up to the diablo range. higher up in the atmosphere, thankfully we're still looking at good to moderate.
8:22 pm
but i think if you're in the salinas valley, you may see some of that smoke drain into the valleys in the morning hours. we'll be watching that closely for the air quality impacts from the fire burning from the south. on the coast, low clouds thickening up as we head toward the morning. patchy low clouds moving locally inland as well. this sets the stage for a cooling trend that will finally kick in for parts of the east bay tomorrow. so morning temperatures in the upper 50s as we start the day, and our high temperatures tomorrow much more comfortable than a couple days ago now down into the low to mid-80s for san jose and morgan hill. more in the 80s possible toward livermore. you can see concord towards fairfield, mid-80s in the forecast. temperatures seeing 70s and 80s. look at the north bay temperatures, a combination of upper 70s to low 80s, and this trend as you see tuesday on into
8:23 pm
wednesday should continue as we continue to get that ocean air-conditioning. lots of clouds on the coast. one thing to watch out for fire danger on the northern sierra up here near shasta might see some isolated thunder at times as we go through the week. some good news, the cooling should stick around to about thursday, and you begin to see san francisco temperatures climb into the 70s towards the end of the week. and valleys which would be comfortable on thursday do make a jump to the low to mid-90s. coming up in the next half hour, we'll take a closer look at how long the next round of heat could be sticking around the bay area. back to you. >> what time does summer hit? >> nine minutes from now. coming up next, doing the nearly impossible. how one son moved to san jose and saved his father's life. you don't want to miss this heartwarming father's day story, coming up.
8:24 pm
8:26 pm
we want to recognize one son who went to great lengths to save his father's life from the pandemic. they all acquired covid-19 but it was his father john who got really sick. it went to his lungs and kidneys, and the hospital he was in suggested he go off life support. but his son wouldn't give up. he started calling hospitals around the country but no luck, until he reached stanford. the hospital said if john recovered enough, stanford would fly him down for treatment. well, in august, he was well enough to be transferred, and his son patrick moved by himself to san jose to help his dad recovered. patrick spoke to us about how this experience changed him. >> seeing my dad go through all that and seeing him come out on
8:27 pm
top has inspired me, actually. i don't think anything will ever be as difficult as everything that my dad went through, so now, you know, i used to live life kind of leisurely and now i'm helping out a lot in the business. my dad is a very special guy to me. he's done everything for us, and everything i do is going to be to try to repay everything he's done for us. >> wow. john eventually underwent a successful lung and kidney transplant, one of the first patients in the country to have multiple covid-related transplants. his dad says his son played a pivotal role in treatment, including helping with his father's rehab. it's a little difficult for john to speak, as you might expect, but he told us how he feels about his son. >> i can just say two words.
8:28 pm
he's my hero. >> he's my hero. john is back home in washington continuing his recovery with patrick, his other son and his wife. that is a father's day story. up next, president biden back after a trip overseas, but the international work is not over. a pressure is on now that a new leader has been elected in iran.

8:31 pm
deal with that country after former president trump canned the previous agreement. nbc's jennifer johnson has more. >> reporter: spending his weekend in delaware after a long overseas trip, president biden faces renewed urgency to stop russian-based ransomware attacks in the u.s. talks but no agreement after the president's summit with vladimir putin last week. >> we're going to have to see whether we're able to actually sit down and have some serious cyber talks, not just at the working level, but something to reach some kind of agreement. >> reporter: the president also faces a new challenge in iran after that country elected a newhard line president, ebrahim raisi. some think it could lead to a new nuclear deal with iran after that country has been under crushing sanctions. >> our priority now is to keep iran from getting a nuclear weapon. we believe diplomacy is the best way to achieve that rather than military conflict. >> reporter: the president faces challenges at home, too,
8:32 pm
including getting his massive infrastructure bill passed. >> that's the problem. it's not about infrastructure it's kind of a $6 trillion bag of priorities. >> reporter: the republicans said they won't agree to anything that raises taxes. >> what the president said he doesn't want to raise taxes on anyone making 400,000 or less. i agree with that. >> reporter: but there may be trouble ahead with gun access and police reform. top diplomats from the european union say there's progress in talks in austria between iran and global powers from the movement abandoned by president trump. president biden took a trip to delaware and spent father's day golfing. he took to twitter and included stepfathers, grand fathers, all

fathers and said our children love us unconditionally, and give so much of themselves every day so they can live our dreams and sacrifices. families reunited along the u.s.-mexico border. they exchanged kisses and hugs sponsored by an advocacy group. these reunions did not take place because of the pandemic. this year people had to be fully vaccinated or show proof of a negative covid test in order to participate in this. most of the mexican residents say despite having constant communication with their relatives in the u.s., the experience of seeing and hugging them is uncomparable. u.s. farmers are in a unique position right now. while demand for products like pork remains strong following the pandemic, high tariffs in china have caused some to ponder the future. one farmer is swimming upstream
8:34 pm
hoping to create positive change for his industry. >> reporter: joe sweeney is a fish out of water. he's raising tilapia in the middle of iowa. this is hog country. >> we produced this last year about a million pounds of tilapia, and over the next three years we're going to grow that to about 5 million. >> reporter: sweeney runs eagle's catch in ellsworth, iowa and raised $20 million to launch it from other farmers like matt danner. >> we're looking for the sustainability piece and how we can attain that. >> reporter: hog production has never been more profitable. hog farmers have money to spend despite higher feed cost, tariffs and restaurants being closed last year, demands for pork is so strong that retail prices are at a record, over $4.30 a pound. >> we've got pork consumers that
8:35 pm
are consuming more pork in this country than they ever have. >> reporter: but a hog needs twice as much to eat to produce a pound of meat as a fish does. and sweeney is trying to convince midwestern farmers to diversify. >> right now in the united states, we import about 90% of all the seafood that we consume, most of which, in fact, three-quarters of all the seafood comes from just china. >> reporter: he believes that as the chinese population and spending power grows, china is going to want to keep fish for its own people being creating a need for a home-grown supply in the u.s., and in what better place than a state supporting animals on a large scale? >> i ask how we're doing and i always answer with, we're still swimming. >> reporter: in ellsworth, iowa, jane wells, cnbc business news. house democrats are pushing for the end of fda donor policies that bar gay men from donating blood. lawmakers wrote a letter to the fda calling the rules outdated and discriminatory. they suggest using a study
8:36 pm
called assessing donor variability and new concepts in eligibility. it collects new data to ensure the policies can be safely overturned. the original fda rule was enacted as a prevention measure of hiv during the aids epidemic. doctors at stanford have worked on improving health care for the lgbtq plus community. the course is called teaching lbgtq plus health. it's a project that's been two years in the making. i spoke with one of the course's co-leaders. >> dr. jicanti, thank you very much for being here. let me ask you this. at some point somebody said this course is necessary. when was that said and what was included in the curriculum? >> sure, yeah. first, thanks for having me. i'll start by saying lesbian, gay and transgender patients
8:37 pm
have unique needs, and students want to address these special needs and improve patient care. but this was never approached in training health. that's the reason we created the stanford course, was to train faculty members primarily, but really anyone who is interested in learning about lgbtq plus health and then teaching that material to the next generation of health care providers. >> we're talking physical, psychological, is it holistic? >> the course is really quite comprehensive. it's an online, free, open access, case-based course that covers a number of principles of lgbtq plus health. things like vocabulary, determinants of queer health. it runs the gamut from social
8:38 pm
issues to medical issues as well. >> i don't know if this is the right way to phrase it, but what took so long to get to this course? there's been a long-time talk about health in the community. what happened that launched it, finally? >> yeah, you know, gay/lesbian patients have been absent in medical school curricula. they're rarely included in cases and it's only really been around for a few decades. that's not responsive for the community, nor is it at all representative of their health care needs. i worked for a couple medical students to create the course. we asked for a grant and got grant money to create it. we thought it was time to stop this cycle of inadequate training and to begin training our faculty members so they would feel comfortable and confident to teach our medical students. >> what would you say the next
8:39 pm
step would be? if you were -- first of all, congratulations on getting this course. >> thank you. >> what might be something you would consider going forward? >> well, this is an introductory course that assumes no background knowledge of the topic. we think that's probably the best approach for reaching a wide swath of faculty members from many different generations. the next course we hope to design will be the 201 or the 301 version, if you will, and have a little more medical content, but we needed to start at the beginning with simple lessons such as lgbtq plus health vocabulary. what are the words you should use when caring for patients. i think many of my colleagues are compassionate and intelligent and well meaning, they were just never taught this material. they were just never taught the words to use. that's really where this course begins. i'd like to see it take off to more advanced generations in the
8:40 pm
future. >> dr. gisondi, thank you for taking the time telling us about your exciting new course of the thank you. coverage in california launching new health care plans tomorrow for as little as $1. thousands of californians who have received health care any time in 2021 is eligible for the health care plan. coverage kicks in july 1st. covered california is the health insurance marketplace where people can find a sliding scale of plans from top insurance companies. rob mayeda, i haven't talked to you since last season. it was springtime that we last talked. >> you need a light jacket around san francisco and the coast, as temperatures knock down for the week. those changes in cooling temperatures when we come right back.

8:44 pm
challenges. the populated sides more congested than ever on trails and camping sites. are you confident the park will be able to keep up with this surge in popularity? >> it's going to be a challenging year for all our staff. with this level of visitation, we can't do it alone. each person in the rockies has to take responsibility for their trash so we can take advantage of what we came to enjoy. >> reporter: in utah, lines of cars seemingly longer than some of the trails just to get inside. at famed archers national park an even tougher scene with some turned away after driving hours to find parking lots full. >> it was very frustrating. we spent a lot of money and a lot of time trying to get over there. >> reporter: she's not alone. event enthusiast evelyn nickerson says it changes things.
8:45 pm
>> it will change what parks we go to. not all national parks, but it changes our planning, certainly. >> reporter: one reason yellowstone park is so annoying. you can't enjoy anything, it's so crowded. back in the rockies, jeff marmer choosing to be with nature, packed or not. >> everyone seems to be friendly. the smoky mountains brings the best out in people. new video from the international space station to show you. astronauts began installing new solar panels today on the iss. after some technical delays in an earlier attempt, astronauts teamed up for a second space walk for new solar rays. they will provide a power boost to the station.
