Adam Pearson on St. Louis’ Code Blue outreach

In this episode of The 314 Podcast, host Sarah Fenske talks with Adam Pearson. The director of the Human Services Department for the City of St. Louis last year launched the Code Blue operation, which works proactively to bring homeless people into shelter when temperatures drop below freezing. He discusses what they learned last year and what’s on his mind as we head into another winter. And speaking of winter, SLM staff writer Ryan Krull shares how the city is preparing to navigate a new complication this winter: miles of traffic-calming infrastructure that snow plows will have to avoid—or risk damage to themselves and the streetscape.

A University City, Mo., Tow Truck Took 150+ Cars From Driveways and Backyards in 3 Years, No Warrants, a Lawsuit Says

In Missouri, renewing your plates means gathering paperwork first. The state wants a paid personal property tax receipt and, for many vehicles, a safety or emissions inspection certificate no more than 60 days old, according to its plate renewal requirements. St. Louis County cars also have to pass the Gateway emissions program. If any one of those steps fails, the tags lapse, and plenty of owners leave the car in the driveway while they save for the fix.

Illinois health officials prep to transfer patients from metro-east hospital

Illinois regulators are preparing to potentially transfer patients out of Gateway Regional Medical Center in Granite City and ambulances are being sent to other hospitals. The hospital is still open, but the Illinois Department of Public Health confirmed Gateway and another medical center owned by the same company are on bypass status due to “staffing instability.” St. Louis-based KMOV first reported the development. The operators of the 278-bed safety net hospital have been late paying staff. An IDPH spokesman said that the agency had alerted the state’s labor and employment security departments about unmet payroll at Gateway and at Vista Medical Center in Waukegan, Illinois. Both hospitals are owned by California-based company American Healthcare Systems. “Gateway and Vista are private, for-profit hospitals whose operations and finances are managed by American Healthcare Systems. Their lack of communication, transparency, and responsible financial management and contingency planning is extremely concerning,” the spokesman for the IDPH said in an email. “The Illinois Department of Public Health’s highest immediate priority is the health and safety of the patients and has been working and communicating with hospital administrative leaders in this regard.” Representatives from Gateway Regional Medical Center and American Healthcare Systems did not respond to
