Stay informed with the latest headlines and community updates from across the Eastern Sierra. In this report, we’re covering healthcare and public safety, local library resources, energy conservation, outdoor recreation, community recognition, and remembering a member of our Eastern Sierra community.
This episode includes a look at Northern Inyo Hospital’s new entrance screening process designed to enhance safety for patients, visitors, and staff. We also highlight a grant helping Mono County libraries expand their collection and provide additional resources for the community.
Plus, we’re sharing reminders about Flex Alerts and ways residents can help conserve electricity when needed, along with important boat inspection reminders for anyone heading out on local waters. Nominations are also open for the Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards, giving the community an opportunity to recognize outstanding local businesses and organizations.
We also take time to remember Karen West and reflect on her life and legacy in our community.
