ESTED monitoring protests oc- curring in Los Angeles County related to ICE Enforcement Operations. As the demonstrations continued, some escalat- ed into unlawful assem- blies involving vandal- ism, arson, and assaults on federal law enforce- ment officers.

Throughout this period, the SBCSD department remained in close com- munication with allied law enforcement partners to coordinate potential mutual aid. We also used our digital platforms to inform the public about our role: to ensure the safety and security of San

To safeguard San Ber- nardino County residents, SBCSD increased pa- trol presence and main- tained a heightened state of readiness to respond to any critical incidents within their jurisdiction or in support of partner agencies. Multiple pro- tests also occurred across San Bernardino County this past week. All were monitored closely, and no major incidents were reported.

Last week, when Pres. Donald Trump sent fed- eral troops into Los An- geles and escalated ICE raids across Southern California, Assembly- member Tina McKinnor (D-Inglewood) didn't stay silent. As chair of the Los Angeles County Legislative Delegation, she led more than 30 law- makers in a Capitol press conference denouncing what she called "uncon- stitutional actions.

June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month

June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month, a time dedicated to rais- ing awareness around the mistreatment of old- er adults and promot- ing better understanding and prevention of elder abuse. As we observe this important month, the San Bernardino County De- partment of Aging and Adult Services - Public Guardian (DAAS-PG) urges our community to remain vigilant and pro- active in safeguarding our older adult residents. Elder abuse encompasses various forms of mistreat- ment, including:

Physical abuse: Inflict- ing physical pain or in- jury.

Emotional or psycho- logical abuse: Verbal assaults, threats, intimi- dation, or behavior that causes fear, distress or humiliation.

• Financial abuse: Theft or misuse of an elder's

By Bo Tefu money or property, in- cluding extortion, coer- cion or fraud.

Neglect and self-ne- glect: Failure to provide basic needs like food, clothing, shelter or health care for someone under your care even when re- sources are available-or failing to care for oneself.

Alarmingly, elder abuse often goes unreported. Studies indicate that only one in 24 cases is brought to the authorities' atten- tion. Furthermore, in ap- proximately 90 percent of elder abuse cases with a known perpetrator, the perpetrator is a family member. Of those, two- thirds are adult children or spouses. These upset- ting statistics highlight the critical role of com- munity awareness and in- tervention in preventing elder abuse. Being aware of the warn-

COLTON, CA--- Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new hy- brid angiography suite, a cutting-edge facility designed to revolution- ize patient care through advanced imaging and surgical capabilities. This innovative hybrid oper- ating room (OR) and bi- plane angiography suite will enhance the hospital's ability to perform a wide range of complex procedures with preci- sion and efficiency.

"The hybrid angiogra- phy suite underscores our dedication to innovation, enabling us to address the most challenging medi- cal conditions with preci- sion," said ARMC Chief Executive Officer An- drew Goldfrach, FACHE. "This hybrid biplane an- giography suite will serve as the primary operating room for open and en- dovascular neurosurgery, and it will have the ca- pacity for all specialties that use angiography."

The hybrid suite's bi- plane angiography sys- tem will feature two X-ray cameras for simul- taneous imaging from multiple angles, and will provide high-resolution, real-time visualization of blood vessels and other structures. This technol- ogy enhances procedural accuracy, reduces operat- ing time, and minimizes radiation exposure, en- suring safer and more effective outcomes for Cardiovascular procedures: Endovas cular aneurysm repair, transcatheter aortic valve replacement, coronary angiography, stenting, and electrophysiology procedures like ablation for arrhythmias.

Key benefits of the hy- brid angiography suite include real-time preci- sion; enhanced patient safety by minimizing patient transfers and im- proving outcomes; and streamlined workflows benefiting patients and providers.

Approxi- mately 49 million Ameri- cans are living with the disease of addiction. This staggering loss of life is rooted in misinformation, health inequities and the marginalization of those with substance use dis- orders (SUD) and their families.

The exhibit will be held at the Garcia Center for the Arts in downtown San Bernardino, in part- nership with Arts Con- nection. This collabo- ration aims to engage the community through meaningful educational programming that ad brain disorder by dispel- ling deeply entrenched stereotypes, changing stigmatizing language and stimulating discus- sion. Research has con- firmed that museums and galleries, as trusted sources of information, are uniquely poised to lead this change. The opening reception will be hosted on Wednes- day, June 18, at 4 p.m. at the Garcia Center for the Arts, 536 W. 11th St., San Bernardino, CA 92410. To RSVP, please visit: https://www.eventcreate. com/e/intolightopeningdresses issues related to the disease of addiction.

The importance of the INTO LIGHT Project exhibit cannot be over- stated. Overdose deaths are the No. 1 cause of accidental and preventable death in our country. It is critical to change public perception around this tinental breakfast.

Activities include a coloring contest, jour- nal decorating, gratitude card creation, face paint- ing, and interactions with Sheriff's and Fire Depart- ment personnel. Mental health resources, music, food, and fun will be available, with special Continued from page 3
