Seneca Healthcare District received final approval this afternoon, Aug. 20, from local and state authorities for the healthcare facility to open and operate.
The Emergency Room and Acute Care Unit will open at 8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 21, and the Almanor Walk-in Clinic will open the clinic and the family practices at 8 a.m. Monday, Aug. 23. All outpatient and auxiliary services will open by Monday, Aug. 23 as well. Please check with your individual physician’s office as some of our providers’ offices will not be immediately opening.
Plumas County is experiencing a considerable surge in active COVID cases. Over the recent evacuation period, much of the community evacuated to areas with higher incidence of COVID infection. As such, Seneca will be practicing strict access and visitation guidelines in accordance with recently updated CDC and CDPH guidelines.
Procedures for gaining entrance to Seneca Healthcare are as follows: All entrances to the facilities will be locked so that all people entering the facility can be screened prior to entry. Once you reach the doors to the hospital or clinic please ring the bell for assistance. Ringing the bell alerts the staff that someone is at the door.
Please contact the PIO line at (530) 258-2085 with any questions or concerns.
