Via Care in the News: Keeping Our Community Informed on COVID-19 

As COVID-19 cases rise once again across Los Angeles County, Via Care is proud to see our provider and Chief Medical Information Officer Dr. Demetrio Cardenas, DMSc, PA-C, MPH, featured in CALÓ News helping explain what’s driving this increase. Dr. Cardenas shared insights into how new variants, waning immunity, and more indoor gatherings are contributing to the current surge. You can read the full article here

Why this matters: when COVID-19 cases rise, our most vulnerable neighbors are often the ones who feel it first. Higher community spread can lead to more hospitalizations and strain on our health care system, making it even more important that local families have access to trusted information and care. Having Demetrio’s voice in this important conversation highlights Via Care’s commitment to keeping our community informed, supported, and healthy during this latest wave. 

At Via Care, we remain dedicated to providing safe, accessible care for everyone in East Los Angeles. We will continue to be a resource for our community as we navigate this rise in cases together.
