To the Editor; I thought I would have my doctor for a long time. I did not know that a state line would be the reason I was torn from her. I am writing this because it is not just myself that is feeling this loss. Every Medi-Cal patient that had a doctor move from Barton Family to Stateline Medical Center is feeling this loss. My doctor knows my medical history and knows me, this relationship has been cultivated over the years. The anxiety, and thinking about having to retrace my medical history and get acquainted with a new doctor is daunting.

This responsibility includes minimizing the risk of wildfire from embers landing on or around your home or property. Research suggests that 60-90 percent of home ignitions are due to embers falling on something combustible such as pine needles, leaves, juniper bushes, and/or patio furniture.
