Orchard Hospital

What Orchard Hospital does

Orchard Hospital is a 24-bed Critical Access Hospital headquartered in Gridley, California, operating as an independent, non-profit, community-governed healthcare organization founded in 1949 and rebranded from Biggs-Gridley Memorial Hospital in 2013. It is owned and operated by American Advanced Management and serves as the only emergency services provider on the Highway 99 corridor between Sacramento and Chico, covering southern Butte County and northern Yuba and Sutter Counties — including Biggs, Gridley, Richvale, Live Oak, Oroville, Yuba City, Marysville, and Chico. The core offering is a 24/7 physician-staffed emergency department complemented by 24-bed inpatient acute care, CardioPulmonary services, full-service Laboratory and Radiology (including 64-slice CT, MRI, 3D Mammography via Hologic Genius, and DEXA), and a Swing Bed rehabilitation program.

Beyond the main campus at 240 Spruce Street, Orchard Hospital operates two Medical Specialty Centers (Gridley at 284 Spruce Street and Oroville at 2990 Oro Dam Blvd.) delivering primary care, cardiology, OB/GYN, behavioral health, chiropractic, rehabilitation therapy, occupational health, and physicals. The Orchard Horizon Senior Center extends its footprint into community wellness programming for older adults. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service billing across inpatient, outpatient, emergency, diagnostic, and specialty services, with a Patient Price Estimator covering 300 CMS-required services, acceptance of major insurance plans (including Medi-Cal and Partnership HealthPlan of California), and payment plans for uninsured patients. Strategic partnerships with Enloe Hospital (STEMI cardiac transfer program), Quest Diagnostics, Pathology Sciences Medical Group, and Hologic extend clinical capability without in-house duplication, and a new Youth Psychiatric Facility is in development to expand behavioral health access in the region.
