I contacted the Santa Cruz Dept. of Public Health several weeks ago to report two supermarkets in Watsonville have really inadequate social distancing for shoppers. La Princessa Market on Freedom Blvd. stacks pallets of food items so close to the registers that customers jam together for 15 minutes while waiting to pay. The managers of the store are unable to enforce social distancing and seem unaware of the importance. Watsonville has the distinction of leading Santa Cruz County in Covid 19 cases. Good News. Recently the La Princessa supermarket in Watsonville has changed most of their most dangerous social distancing practices. They cleared out the jams of carts by their meat department. They moved the pallets of food items that were blocking distancing. They had twice as many employees working near the checkout area to keep customers moving out , rather than being bunched up closely in lines. Although I believe more pallets blocking distancing near the checkout area should be removed, the new system was working fine when I shopped there last week. Everyone was wearing masks, although the young manager"s mask did not cover his nose. I applaude the good work of the Santa Cruz Health Department. I change my rating from one star to five stars.

The receptionists are amazing. I am always treated well. I also really like the physicians and nurses. The facility is clean and the staff is friendly. What's not to like?

No judgement here, just a marketing/branding opinion. When you open the web site for Santa Cruz Mental Health, the photo is less than flattering. I feel any photo representing your agency and it's services should represent a more positive image than the people chosen as your only photograph. It would be more acceptable in my opinion to have a more generic photo promoting success from your services. These two look very sad and down on their luck, rather than Jane or Joe Average needing mental health services.
