CMS cut funding to the San Francisco-based facility after an April inspection found a new list of violations. 

“As the COVID-19 public health emergency continues with reported cases and hospitalizations rising in California, CMS’ decision to relocate these vulnerable patients adds unnecessary risk to their health and well-being,” Ms. Feinstein wrote. “Therefore, it is imperative that CMS’ decision be reversed and Laguna Honda Hospital be given the opportunity to keep patients and staff on-site as it applies for recertification into the Medicare and Medicaid programs.”
