Eastern Plumas Health Care District

Eastern Plumas Health CareDistrict is a small, non-profit, critical access hospital district based in Portola, California. With a team of 130 employees, the district serves the medical needs of Plumas County and surrounding areas. Eastern Plumas Health Care provides a comprehensive range of medical services, including inpatient and outpatient surgery, diagnostic imaging, dietary, and respiratory services. The district operates a 9-bed acute care hospital at its main Portola campus, which features a 24-hour, physician-staffed emergency room and ambulance service. Additionally, four primary care medical clinics and a dental clinic are located in Graeagle, Greenville, Loyalton, and Portola, offering residents a full spectrum of healthcare services. Hospital-based Skilled Nursing Facilities are available in both Portola and Loyalton. The district plays a crucial role in serving the health needs of the Plumas and Sierra Counties communities. It serves over 10,000 permanent residents, and during the peak summer months, the population nearly doubles. The district is often a vital resource, particularly during winter months when roads to larger hospitals in Reno and Truckee can become impassable. Critical care flight services are available to transport patients to Reno when necessary. For more information about Eastern Plumas Health Care, visit their website at ephc.org.
