They are such wonderful people. I can't thank them enough. They always go above and beyond their call of duty.

Our mission: “Living God’s love by inspiring health, wholeness and hope” is the driving passion for our team. Our physicians and providers are essential in helping us achieve this mission, and we continue to seek only the best providers as we expand services around the lake. These dedicated men and women deliver an experience for each patient that is full of compassion and committed to quality care. They work every day to transform the health of our neighbors and our community, and we are honored to work alongside them in settings ranging from the hospital to the emergency department and in medical offices throughout our county.
Adventist Health Clear Lake’s provider team includes knowledgeable and passionate experts in addiction medicine, behavioral health, dentistry, surgery, obstetrics, pain management, cardiology, and many more specialties. In the last year, we added locations and welcomed specialists and general practitioners to expand vital services. As I walk through the hospital, emergency department or through one of our Medical Offices, I am impressed with each provider’s passion for the health of our community and desire to see each person achieve true wellness.
Today is a special day to honor our physicians and providers for their dedication to our community throughout the year. Please join me in thanking our dedicated and tireless healers. I know that messages of appreciation touch the hearts of these selfless individuals. Send a letter, email a message of gratitude or go on our Facebook page and send a note of thanks to the physician or provider (or many) who has made a difference in your life.
On behalf of the board, administration, staff and volunteers at Adventist Health Clear Lake, Happy Doctor’s Day to all our physicians and providers in the community!
David Santos is president of Adventist Health Clear in Clearlake, Calif.

I am wondering why no one is asking where the money is that Lake County is saving every month by not paying the 56 deputies that the sheriff’s department is short.
I estimate there is somewhere between $300,000 and $400,000 that is not being spent each month on deputy salaries and benefits.
Where is this money? Why can’t the county use these funds to help pay the high health care costs that are supposedly keeping candidates away from our county? Why can’t these funds be used to raise wages and hire 25 new recruits instead of the full staff of 56?
I believe the money is already available to make some changes and I am not willing to ask a population already struggling financially to pay additional taxes when there are unanswered questions about the funds that are budgeted and not being spent for a full staff of deputies.
Instead of looking at ways to reach into the pockets of residents, how about requiring our county officials to find ways to solve the sheriff’s department problem with the funds they have available and are not using?
Finally, if our surrounding counties are able to supply affordable health care for their sheriff’s deputies, why is it so difficult for Lake County to shop and secure affordable health care coverage?

Its disappointing that our local chamber doesn’t move their fishing tournament scheduled for this weekend to a date that our lake isn’t at flood stage.
We lakefront property owners deserve more than this.
Really, assuming out-of-area fishermen in a competitive tournament fishing for money don’t respect or follow rules like max 5 mile per hour speed limits, while on the lake.
Boat wakes and wakes from winds do major damage to many of us lakefront properties.
