Berkeley City Council plans to return to in-person meetings starting Dec. 6, allowing for remote participation from the public.

Berkeley’s Black residents and other people of color are at a greater risk than white people to experience “wide variety of adverse health conditions,” according to city health officer Lisa Hernandez who presented the 2018 Health Status Report to the community, Thursday.

Berkeley City Council’s special meeting Tuesday concerning health equity was interrupted by frustrated Alta Bates Summit Medical Center employees, who were advocating for the council to vote to officially oppose the closure of the hospital.
