Outreach Workshop for La Crescenta Avenue Improvements

Tonight, Thursday, Jan. 20 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. a meeting is being held regarding proposed road improvements for La Crescenta Avenue as part of the monthly meeting of the CV Town Council.

Reminder from USC-VHH

As the COVID-19 omicron variant continues to spread, USC Verdugo Hills Hospital is attending to a very high volume of sick patients in it Emergency Dept. The community is asked that, if they are not experiencing COVID symptoms, to seek COVID testing elsewhere.

The USC-VHH Emergency Dept. is not equipped to offer COVID-19 testing to the public at large. However, it has worked with a third-party provider to provide weekend drive-through testing in the hospital’s lower east parking lot for the next few weeks. For a list of other COVID-19 testing locations, visit covid19.lacounty.gov/testing.

People can protect themselves from the spread of COVID-19 by wearing a face mask, practicing social distancing, avoiding large groups and washing hands. Most importantly, get vaccinated and get a booster shot if eligible.
