In honor of Firefighters’ Appreciation Month in September,
Folsom's Original The Blue/Red Crew and Hearts for Heroes—a

local restaurants, including Visconti’s Ristorante, Sutter Street
Steakhouse, and Land Ocean New American Grill provided
complimentary meals to hometown heroes serving on the frontline.

along with three additional providers—joined Mercy Medical Group,
a service of Dignity Health Medical Foundation, at 1735 Creekside

enables us to carry out our shared vision of delivering the highest
level of women’s health care with mutual trust and compassion.”

pool until it was purchased by
the City of Roseville in the ’60s.
Approximately 3,000 people
visit the locale each summer.
