Adventist Health Feather River Medical Center 

Multiple media outlets have reported the destruction of Adventist Health Feather River Medical Center in Paradise, California. While we did sustain damage to some parts of our property, we are unable to confirm the full extent of that damage at this time. Until it is safe for our team to return to the site, we are unable to confirm any reports.

The Adventist Health clinic will be closed until the damage is fully assessed and it is deemed safe for associates and patients. We will keep everyone informed once the assessment is complete.

The clinics in Chico will be closed tomorrow. We will continue to assess the situation to determine if they will reopen on Monday. All patients were notified today in order to reschedule appointments.
