The Washington on Wheels (WOW) van provided much needed patient care space to help replace that lost when the Vista Clinic suffered damage. “We responded to Santa Rosa’s urgent call for help in their time of crisis,” says Patti Coffey, the mobile health clinic manager. “Loaning the mobile health clinic to our North Bay neighbors during their time of need is another example of our steadfast commitment to providing quality health care for all, regardless of ability to pay.” After several months serving the community of Santa Rosa, the mobile health clinic is back in Fremont and preparing to once again serve Tri-City Area residents. Now that the van is back, preparations are being made to once again provide medical care services to children, adults and seniors in the Washington Township Health Care District. The WOW van is staffed by a licensed nurse practitioner under the direction of Washington Hospital physician Steven Curran, MD, and provides an array of services, including the following: • Physical exams • Health screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels • Nutritional counseling and health education • Health insurance information counseling The staff of the Santa Rosa Community Health Center bid a fond and grateful farewell to the • Occupational medicine Washington Hospital mobile health clinic.

In 2016, the Presidio Trust celebrated the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act alongside the nation’s preservation community with a sense of reflection, gratitude and forward-looking purpose. We were also pleased to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the National Park Service, and thank our partners for their trailblazing role in preserving American cultural heritage here in California and beyond. Our principal activity for recognizing these milestones was to host the 41st annual California Preservation Foundation conference at the Presidio in April. At the conference we were enormously proud to be recognized by CPF president Kelly Sutherlin McLeod as “perhaps the biggest preservation success story of the 20th century”, praise that would not be possible without the contributions of our partner agencies, tenants and park users.

Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Marsh Creek Watershed Marsh Creek flows approximately 30 miles from the eastern slopes of Mt. Diablo to Suisun Bay in the northern San Francisco Estuary. Its watershed consists of about 100 square miles. The headwaters of Marsh Creek consist of numerous small, intermittent and perennial tributaries within the Black Hills. The creek drains to the northwest before abruptly turning east near Marsh Creek Springs. From Marsh Creek Springs, Marsh Creek flows in an easterly direction entering Marsh Creek Reservoir, constructed in the 1960s. The creek is largely channelized in the lower watershed, and includes a drop structure near the city of Brentwood that appears to be a complete passage barrier. Marsh Creek enters the Big Break area of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta northeast of the city of Oakley. Marsh Creek No salmonids were observed by DFG during an April 1942 visual survey of Marsh Creek at two locations: 0.25 miles upstream from the mouth in a tidal reach, and in close proximity to a bridge four miles east of Byron (Curtis 1942).

  • EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT Vision and Mission Statements
    EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT Vision and Mission Statements Vision The East Bay Regional Park District will preserve a priceless heritage of natural and cultural resources, open space, parks and trails for the future and will set aside park areas for the enjoyment and healthful recreation for generations to come. An environmental ethic guides us in all that we do. Mission The East Bay Regional Park District will achieve the above vision in the following ways: • Provide a diversified system of regional parklands, trails, and parkland-related services that will offer outstanding opportunities for creative use of outdoor time. • Acquire and preserve significant biologic, geologic, scenic, and historic resources within Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. • Manage, maintain and restore the parklands so that they retain their important scenic, natural, and cultural values. • Interpret the parklands by focusing educational programs on both the visitor’s relationship to nature, natural processes, ecology, history of the parklands, and the value of natural conditions. • Support the development and retention of well-trained, dedicated, and productive employees. • Improve access to and use of the parks by members of groups that have been underrepresented, such as disabled, economically disadvantaged, and elderly visitors. • Balance environmental concerns and outdoor recreational opportunities within regional parklands. • Provide recreational development that fosters appropriate use of parklands while preserving their remoteness and intrinsic value. • Create quality programs that recognize the cultural diversity represented in the region. • Participate in partnerships with public agencies, nonprofit organizations, volunteers, and the private sector to achieve mutual goals. • Provide leadership to help guide land use decisions of East Bay governments that relate to the District.

New development responds to the character of historic surroundings with compatible site design, massing and complementary design details. Public outreach among residents and visitors has heightened awareness of Richmond’s pivotal role in involving women in the home front workforce, major contributions to the war effort and other important local history.

Fun facts about the celebrated one of the East Bay Regional Park District’s East Bay Regional recent restoration projects and illustrated its ongoing Park District commitment to climate change adaptation. The rise in sea level is just one of the ramifications of climate change, and the Dotson Family Marsh was designed to offset such effects through 2080. The Regional Parks Foundation shares that commitment to protecting our natural resources. One of the Foundation’s core programs, aided by generous Donors, is Environmental Restoration and Habitat Enhancement—helping to keep parklands and wildlife healthy. The creation of the Shorebird Sanctuary at Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline and cleanup efforts at Strawberry Cove and on park trails are a few of the Foundation-supported projects you’ll read about in this issue.
