st. luke's. our office looks at the whole -- i don't call it an environmental scam, i call it a supply matched up with the demand, which needs better data, not only to subacute, but for care, long-term-care long-term care s.n.f. beds, for all the people aging in the very -- various supervisorial districts. this is a citywide issue. thank you very much. >> thank you. we will go ahead and open it up to public comment. i wanted to ask if there are any additional family members of any subacute patients. i know some are here. i will ask her to come up and speak first, but anyone else that would like to speak in public comment, they can line up on the right. you can start the timer over, please. is our translator here? >> he left about ten minutes ago i am trying to attack -- track him down. >> i think supervisor ronen can, if you are able to. >> it is my new job as translator. [speaking spanish] >> i want to say thank you. it is very hard for me to come up and share, but thank you so much for the time

st. luke's unit to davies. i want to know you want to have the larger discussion from the city, but the preference for sub-acute care is not to be in an acute setting. i know there are differences of opinion, but that is the opinion we hold and the department of public health holds. >> that is all. thank you. >> supervisor fewer, thank you for waiting. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. one question on staffing. about the backfilling of staff. you said staff are on break, aren't you required to have backfilling on staff with the critically ill patients? >> backfilling on staff, meani meaning? >> during bake times. >> i think it is during restroom breaks or other types of breaks. i don't think there is a requirement if someone is on break that there are three active duty rns on the floor or in the patient rooms. >> okay. i just want to say we have heard a lot today, i think, about the care that people feel like they are receiving at davies, but i think what is most pressing of all is the conversation abou

st. luke's. but, you know, for the residents of my neighborhood, st. luke's is a lifeline and has always been a lifeline. and will continue to a lifeline. most recently evidenced by the fire that happen in the our district, just a week ago, where two members of our community passed away from smoke inhalation. so just want to say that this is not an easy conversation and never has been an easy conversation. but one thing that we did note, and i just want to underscore, there were human beings in these beds. and there are currently still human beings in these beds. and so we came in, we asked for an emergency hearing. we had that hearing. we were not satisfied with the answers that we got. and then we asked for a hearing under emergency conditions for the entire board to consider. and thankfully cpmc made the decision to keep the sub-acute care ongoing. and we transferred those beds to davies hospital, where there have been families and individuals that have been able to access that in an easy way. just for the context and for individuals that will be wat

st. luke's. she went above and beyond her duties and cared for them as if they were her own family, such as washing their hand, nail painting and helping the nurses. they should have a distinct or separate activities coordinator, just for the sub-acute. questions to cpmc. why have there been so many deaths? how many more deaths are you all willing to sacrifice before a change is made? this is raymond. our friend who had no family. raymond was transferred out with no choice of his own. he was fighting that he didn't want to go. we were his only family. because he was a religious man, they brought a priest to his room. and the priest told him if he does not leave, that he won't go to heaven. raymond passed away a year later. question, how many more deaths are you willing to sacrifice before a change is made. what would it take for cpmc to open this unit to new patients. what would they need -- what would they need to readmit the patient they discharged home. shouldn't they be allowed to come back.

st. luke's is a lifeline for my district and neighborhood. so many people come across like supervisor stephanie with a family member with a correction or born in st. luke's or have a personal relationship with someone working there. i am thankful that cpmc committed to keeping the hospital open. it is important for our community. we then transferred the conversation to cpmc davies. now this is where we are. we do take responsibility as a city as well because we made mistakes in this conversation, and the decisions made have impacts on people's lives. we have to figure out a way to get to 80. i am glad she is here to say in 60 days we will get an update. we are looking for dignity, chinese hospital, cpmc, kaiser, everyone that is part of this system in san francisco to be part of the solution to get us to the right number of sub-acutes beds, and 50 to 80 is a starting point. i am hopeful we will get a better idea what that needs to be in the overall conversation. this was not a comfortable conversation. it was very uncomfortable and personal t

st. luke's hospital. you got rid of the beds and everything that helps the poor people. y'all wanted in favor the big developers. we have a representative in this chambers who took millions of dollars from lennar. this rogue developer harmed our children. some of y'all have your heart in the rit place but most of y'all need orientation. rehabilitation. learn what is empathy and compassion. thank you, very much. >> supervisor yee: next speaker. >> good afternoon, board. my name is drew. i'm here speaking on behalf of the korean center. again, the first festival is being held on saturday. 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the pray grounds but i want today come up here today to talk about a story that's not really mentioned in the resolution. you will see there's a name being mentioned called minute yonge ik and he was a nephew of the queen at the time in the late 19th century and he served -- his title was prince and minister for the kingdom. and so he led the first ever korean delegation to the united states and the first city he ever stepped upon was here. san francisco. when h

st. luke's bank. it was started in 1903 in richmond, it is the first and only bank that was organized by working women. it was funded by working women from all over the country. seamstresses tobacco simmers as well as teachers of working women and it was led by a black woman in the bank president was maggieor walker, she was the fit black woman bank president. as of the book really looks at the challenges that these women faced in advancing their vision of economic justice. i can acknowledge that vision is quintessentially american but it is also women distinctive. it really tries to support and highlight the roles of black women essential economic roles as providers and their families. and in their communities. so it is about the ways that women can tell their bank board room into sites of activism. i always wanted to write about a black women's economic justice activism because i think it's really essential part of political history and a movement about social change. . . . i asked got connected for

we have more import saint luke -- port st.ie, florida. >>> you can feel the winds coming in here in the port st. lucie area. we are on the intercoastal side on a bridge that goes over to hutchinson island here. but look at what the effect is along this seawall. you can see the storm surge already coming in. right now, it is about two hours or so from a high tide. officials and locals here are really hoping they can make it through this i tied without significant flooding. but as you can see already, it was dry here. the water was about a foot or so below this seawall just a few hours ago. now, the waters coming up, they are worried about the parts that are shallow, narrow between the atlantic and intercoastal. from here, all the way up north as the storm begins to go up. here in st. lucie county, some tragic news that a deputy was injured. he is okay. he is in stable condition but he was in a have a high water vehicle assessing flood areas that were hit head-on by a drunk driver who was taken into custody. but right now, it is
