Home Care In Folsom, CA

(SACRAMENTO)

If you’re driving in the area of Highway 50 and E. Bidwell Street in Folsom, you may notice new signs of progress on UC Davis Health’s planned medical campus. Crews are preparing the site for the first of three projects: a 112,000 square foot outpatient clinic. Two new signs also proclaim the area the future home of the Folsom Center for Health.

One of the signs was unveiled on Friday in an event at the worksite. A construction worker used a crane to remove a drape that was covering it, revealing the name and the partners behind the project: UC Davis Health, contractor Rudolph and Sletten, designers LPAS Architecture and Design and Boulder Associates and construction management team Jacobs.

UC Davis Health leaders, partners and officials from the City of Folsom were on hand for the event.

“We’re excited to be moving forward on this critical project to expand and innovate patient care in Folsom,” said Mike Condrin, interim chief administrator for UC Davis Medical Center and chief operating officer for UC Davis Health Hospital Division. “We’ve been caring for Folsom for more than two decades, and this project will allow us to consolidate and grow primary and specialty care in the area while modernizing at the same time.”

The new three-story outpatient clinic, called the Folsom Medical Office Building, will include primary and specialty care, a lab for blood draws, ophthalmology and an optic shop. It will also feature imaging and an infusion suite offering treatments for cancer patients and other services. The building will have unobstructed views of the Sierra foothills.

“The City of Folsom is excited to celebrate the progress of UC Davis Health’s future medical campus in Folsom Ranch,” said Folsom Mayor Rosario Rodriguez. “With groundwork already underway, this expansion will ensure the health and wellness of our residents by providing top-tier, accessible outpatient medical care close to home. With 40 acres dedicated to this campus, UC Davis Health is positioned to expand alongside the city, planning for the Folsom community’s needs today and for many generations.”

Growing with the City of Folsom

The $171 million medical building, set to be completed in 2025, is the first of several projects planned for the lot at the southwest corner of Highway 50 and E. Bidwell, in Folsom Ranch. Also planned are a surgery center, a hotel and a micro-hospital with an emergency department with up to 30 beds. The project will evolve with the area’s needs, notes Condrin.

“The beauty of this project is that we can adapt and grow with the community. Our goal is to provide the services people need — from maternity care to advanced imaging — close to home so that people don’t need to drive to Sacramento to get specialty care,” Condrin explained.

The new health campus will utilize the latest in technology, with a focus on delivering more care outside of the hospital, in outpatient centers, clinics or at home, reducing costs and making patients more comfortable.

UC Davis Health is following the University of California Sustainable Practices Policy for the project, ensuring that energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction and efficient transportation are incorporated in the design from the beginning.

FOLSOM, Calif. — Folsom announced last week Christmas tree recycling will be available to residents early next year.

Cub Scout Pack 128 will pickup trees from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 6, 2024, in Dan Russell Rodeo Arena at Rodeo Park on Stafford Street for SMUD to chip and mulch into a soil blend, according to a SMUD news release.

Rodeo Park will be closed to pedestrians and cyclists for safety during the event, and the Johnny Cash Trail can instead be accessed from entrances at Riley, Scott, Leidesdorff and East Natoma streets, according to a city news release.

Residents can also recycle trees on their regular service day in the green waste bin, according to the city. Trees must be cut into pieces no larger than 2 feet in length and 4 inches in diameter, and the lid must close completely to receive service.

The city says residents may receive a flyer on their doorstep relaying that a nonprofit organization could collect their tree on their street.

“Regardless of how you recycle your tree, all ornaments and hooks, tinsel, lights, nails and stands must be removed beforehand,” the city said in a statement.

Artificial trees or trees that have been dusted with fake snow will not be accepted, the city said. Fresh wreaths, garlands and centerpieces can also be placed in a green waste bin after removing all hooks, ribbons, wires and other miscellaneous items that will not break down into compost.

If someone has more than five trees, they need a voucher and must follow Sacramento County's Holiday Tree Recycling Program rules for the trees to be accepted for free, according to SMUD.

SMUD offers mulch for free to Sacramento residents for landscape projects, the utility company said.

Residents with questions can email [email protected] or call 916-461-6730.

Sandbags are also available for Folsom residents and business owners at no charge.

The city has two self-serve sandbag stations: one next to Fire Station 36 at 9700 Oak Avenue Parkway and one behind City Hall at 50 Natoma St. The city said proof of Folsom residency, such as a driver's license or utility bill, is required to obtain sandbags.

For 311 workers in Santa Clara and Folsom, California, it wasn't the Grinch who stole Christmas: it was Intel.

The x86 giant announced the layoffs in a series of worker adjustment and retraining notification (WARN) filings made to the US state's Employment Development Department.

The largest of these layoffs comes from Intel's Folsom offices, where the chipmaker operates a test floor and lab space. According to a WARN notice, received by the California EDD last week, 235 employees have been laid off permanently. In four separate filings, Intel said it planned to lay off another 76 workers at its headquarters in Santa Clara. All 311 of the layoffs take effect December 31. Intel employs about 110,000 people worldwide.

"Intel is working to accelerate its strategy while reducing costs through multiple initiatives, including some business and function-specific workforce reductions in areas across the company," an Intel spokesperson told The Register.

"We have more than 13,000 employees in California and continue to invest in areas core to our business, including our US-based manufacturing operations, to ensure we are well-positioned for long-term growth.

"These are difficult decisions, and we are committed to treating impacted employees with dignity and respect."

The layoffs cap off a challenging fiscal year for the processor giant, which kicked off Q1 2023 with a $2.8 billion loss. While the biz had returned to profitability in the second quarter, Intel was already well on its way to executing on its plan to cut $3 billion of annual spending in 2023 and $10 billion by 2025. According to California's WARN report, Intel laid off 1,714 workers at its Santa Clara, San Jose, and Folsom offices in 2023.

In addition to human capital, Intel has canned a number of high-profile projects, and scrapped several product lines in an effort to reduce costs. This included the cancellation of $900 million worth of research and development facilities planned for Hillsboro, Oregon, and Haifa, Israel.

Before the year was out, CEO Pat Gelsinger had also taken the ax to Intel's server and PC divisions, and end-of-life'd the company's Blockscale crypto-mining chips. Around that same time, Intel canceled its Rialto Bridge accelerators and rewrote its datacenter GPU roadmap.

Ahead of Intel's Q3 earnings call in October, the chipmaker revealed it was spinning off its FPGA business with former Datacenter and AI group EVP Sandra Rivera at the helm. ®

FOLSOM PREVIEW

The team is one win away from their first state title since 2018. The Bulldogs are firing on all cylinders heading into Saturday's matchup, fresh off a victory over Pittsburgh High School.

Wide receiver Brian Ray III is wearing his Junior Bulldogs jersey to get ready for the game.

"I've really been dreaming about this moment ... practicing, preparing for this week my whole entire football career," said Ray.

Teamwork has been key to getting this far.

"I love being part of this team," said quarterback Ryder Lyons. "I feel like we've come together as weeks went on, as more of a team. Our #1 rule as a program is be a team."

Folsom's journey to get to the big game hasn't been easy. They intentionally made it tough by putting together a difficult schedule.

"We're trying to get to the highest level of football in the state of California, the country for that matter," said coach Paul Doherty. "We're trying to get to that Open Division. The two teams that are ahead of us are Serra and De La Salle. We've played those guys in an effort to beat those guys and we came up short."

The Bulldogs are loaded with talent, including Lyons, who was offered a full ride to the University of Southern California. The sophomore is quick to turn the attention to his teammates.

"They make my job really easy," said Lyons. "Our offensive line has been lights out all year. Our defense has been playing lights out. Our skill positions are amazing."
