Now hundreds of patients in Sonoma County will have to find a new hospital. Palmdrive hospital is set to close. Any minute they will lock the doors. Any minute. And with it 130 jobs. Administrators here say they have seen a drop in patients over the years, as well as the finances, which at the start of the year, they say took a turn for the worse. Palmdrive District Hospital barely has a pulse. According to a hospital spokesperson, a reduction in medicaremedical reimbursement, fewer patients and more competition from big name hospitals like kaiser have nearly spent this small rural hospital to its death. I think that is the bottom line, is that we did everything we could, to keep this open, and we just cant do it based on the current volumes. Reporter odds against him, dr. James good says he has the cure to cure this sick hospital. First, bankruptcy. And then let the doctors take over the facility. What were asking is that the bankruptcy is fine, but we like to proceed with keeping the hospital open with a doctors proposal of how to turn it around. Reporter dr. Good says the doctors have secured 2 million to keep the hospital running three more months. That money, along with introducing new treatments, like womens wellness, good says palmdrive can have a positive cash flow yet again. Current management isnt 100 ruling out that idea. I know that our board is considering many different options and thats certainly one of them. Dr. Good says he is not ready to walk away from palm drive. Hoping to revive this hospital, and save more than 100 full time jobs. If they do, we will stay here as long as we have to until they reopen the doors. They are set to lock these doors officially any moment. You can see people gathering around, just to see that, that final ceremonial locking there. And now, for patients in Sonoma County, there are other options that are miles away. Sutter and kaiser, not too far. And also, dr. Goodwill be set up with his office, right there, and he is partnering with a doctor right next door to make sure patient care here am Sonoma County continues. Live in Sonoma County, mark kelly, kpix5. Administrators say there is still a chance palm drive will come out of bankruptcy and could become an urgent care facility.

A bay area teenager caught between two worlds. The possibility that you might end up dying on the streets. Balancing his life between a prestigious private school and a dangerous neighborhood. Wendy tokuda has our students rising above. ,,,,,,,,,, also about life le going to school is about more than what you learn inside your textbook in it is also about life lessons. Wendy tokuda says our student rising above this week has developed some pretty special skills while living in two very different worlds. The College Preparatory school in oakland is one of the most prestigious private schools in the east bay. When alejandro ahakedo won a scholarship there, was a bit like winning the lottery, except he had to be really smart. The expectation here for college, it is youre going to go to college, youre going go to a fouryear institution, and youre probably going to do very well. He is constantly looking for ways to get better. For ways to improve. He is not satisfied with being where he is. He is always pushing himself. His scholarship came through a Nonprofit Program called a better chance. The name says it all. Because when alejandro takes the bus home to east oakland, the focus is on survival, not education. There are gangs roaming the streets. And the possibility that you might end up dying on the streets because of a stray bullet has happened with many people.

And my mom makes maybe a little more than 1,000. So we dont do very well. Not enough money to buy school supplies. Not enough money to get a snack if he is hungry. It would be hard for most teenagers to navigate these two worlds. But alejandro does it with a dignity that is unusual for someone his age. There have been families here that know of our situation, and sometimes they will give us clothes that they dont need, or sometimes it will be a box of food, or vegetables, and it might be a thanks where it has helped us out. It meant a lot. He is grounded enough, to know that money doesnt define him. And have a sense that other things are more important. What has helped you rise above . Education is key. It is something that my mom has told me and something that yes, i live by. It is that search for knowledge.
