Good morning, Stockton.
A proposal that could reshape health care education in the Central Valley moved a step forward this week at City Hall.
Stockton City Council voted to support the University of the Pacific’s effort to secure $7 million in congressional funding tied to its proposed medical school. Aaron Leathley reports the funding would go toward training equipment for future students, an early step in building the program. Supporters say the project could expand medical training opportunities in Stockton and help address doctor shortages across the region.
Elsewhere, police say a 39-year-old woman is in stable condition after a weekend shooting in north Stockton. We’re also tracking Lodi police plans to highlight unsolved cases in hopes of generating new leads, and ongoing updates tied to the University of the Pacific’s broader push to launch the medical school.
Thanks for starting your morning with us and for supporting local journalism that keeps Stockton informed.
