Plumas District Hospital

What Plumas District Hospital does

Plumas District Hospital (PDH) is a 16-bed Critical Access Hospital located in Quincy, California, operating as a public hospital district governed by a publicly elected Board of Directors. Established as a Critical Access Hospital and serving the roughly 5,000 residents of Quincy and the broader Plumas County in the Northern Sierra Nevada, it provides essential healthcare to a remote rural community that would otherwise need to travel 80+ miles to alternative facilities. Core services include 24/7 emergency care, inpatient and outpatient services, and diagnostic imaging and laboratory, with an average daily census of 5.5 patients. The hospital employs 235 people, including 14 physicians, four nurse practitioners, three physician assistants, and one dentist.

Beyond acute hospital services, PDH operates a broad portfolio of affiliated service lines: two Rural Health Clinics (the Feather River/Quincy Building and the Indian Valley Medical Clinic in Greenville) offering primary care, internal medicine, obstetrics, and dental care; Senior Life Solutions behavioral health for seniors; Physical & Occupational Therapy; Sierra Regional EMS; a licensed Child Care Center (opened 2021); and a newly constructed Skilled Nursing Facility. Patient-facing digital services rely on third-party platforms rather than proprietary technology, including the HealtheLife patient portal (with video-visit telehealth) and an Oracle Cerner-powered online bill-pay system; the website runs on SiteGlide CMS with Google Analytics, Reputation, Monsido, AccessiBe, and AWS integrations. No developer-facing API exists.

As a public healthcare district, PDH generates revenue primarily through patient-care services (emergency, inpatient, outpatient, diagnostics, and rural clinic care) reimbursed by government payers (including Medi-Cal) and insurance, supplemented by community programs, training courses (BLS/PALS/CPR), and charitable fundraising through the affiliated Plumas Health Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that has funded initiatives such as a $300,000 contribution toward the Skilled Nursing Facility. Its go-to-market is community-led, delivering care directly to Plumas County residents through its hospital campus and clinic network. PDH holds Joint Commission accreditation, ACHD certification, and a UC Davis Rural Center of Excellence designation.
