Summary
Smoke from a warehouse fire in Boyle Heights has turned into a health crisis, forcing hundreds to seek relief at a makeshift clinic set up by Via Care at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church. Beyond immediate medical care and breathing treatments, the health center handed out masks, air purifiers, and food — recognizing the deep economic and environmental burdens already facing this working-class, Latino community. With nearly 90% of patients reporting high blood pressure linked to stress and smoke exposure, medical staff urge everyone to wear masks and seek help without fear — no matter immigration status or ability to pay. Via Care’s mobile team vows to stay as long as needed, standing as a lifeline for those most affected. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
