text: I have been meeting with our local hospital officials this week, including those from San Joaquin General Hospital, St. Joseph's Medical Center, Lodi Health, and Kaiser Health, and I am very pleased and proud of the work they are doing to be ready if any Ebola cases occur in our area. I told them I would make sure the CDC and federal government supports their efforts.  I will continue to press the administration and the CDC to do everything necessary to prevent the disease from reaching our shores again, and to make sure our health care workers have access to the appropriate equipment and most accurate guidance on preventing transmission of the disease.
