Daly City's Seton Medical Center is being leased by the state to help fight COVID-19. This move could shake up local healthcare resources, so expect some changes in how you access care.
Legal Challenge
Daly City is getting sued for possibly violating California's sanctuary state law. This legal fight could force the city to change how it handles certain immigration issues and cost a lot in legal fees.
