Support for Forum comes from Rancho La Puerta, boated the number one wellness resort and spa by readers of travel and leisure magazine in 2024.

In August, three or four people sharing a cassita enjoy special vacation packages that include hiking, mindfulness, and fitness classes, in a garden setting on 4,000 verdant acres of nature preserve.

Check in to summer at Rancho LaPorta, Rancho LaPorta.com.

Support for Forum comes from Broadway S.F. presenting Parade, the musical revival based on a true story.

From three-time Tony-winning composer Jason Robert Brown comes the story of Leo and Lucille Frank,

a newlywed Jewish couple struggling to make a life in Georgia. When Leo is accused of an

unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice, and

devotion. The riveting and gloriously hopeful parade

plays the Orpheum Theater for three weeks only, May 20th through June 8th. Tickets on sale now

at Broadway, sF.com.

From KQED.

We're going to shift topics now. We're going to talk about and get a snapshot of ICU capacity

in the Bay Area. Kaiser Permanente announced just this week that it will postpone elective procedures

into January over concerns that COVID-19 hospitalizations may continue to grow over the holidays.

The news comes as San Mateo County's

ICU beds fill and the county works to secure more beds for the sick. We're going to get an

update on Bay Area Hospital capacity and hear why reported ICU numbers can be confusing. And joining

us as San Francisco Chronicle Health reporter, Aaron Aldi. Welcome, Aaron.

Hi, thank you so much from having me.

Glad to have you and also glad to have Stephen Prowdy with us,

who is Executive Vice President of External Affairs with Kaiser Permanente and Chair of Infectious Diseases.

And welcome Dr. Parati.
