October 2024 Healthcare on the Ridge Update

Adventist Health transitions services to newly renovated spaces at Feather River Health Center

Adventist Health is excited to announce the near completion of its $2.4 million renovation project at the Feather River Health Center on Skyway in Paradise. This milestone marks significant improvements in patient care accessibility.

• Rapid Care Clinic: A new, dedicated space has been serving patients since August.
• Dermatology: Moved into its newly renovated space earlier this month.
• Women’s Health: Starting Oct. 14, Women’s Health clinic services will begin welcoming patients to their new location.

For the first time, all clinical services on The Ridge will be offered under one roof, significantly improving convenience for patients and access to essential health services for our community and its surrounding areas.

Additionally, Women’s Imaging Services, including mammography and bone density testing, will return to The Ridge in the Feather River Health Center. To celebrate, we're hosting an open house event October 17 from 4 - 6 p.m., featuring a ribbon-cutting ceremony and light refreshments. This event is open to the public, and we encourage you to join us.

Rapid care weekend closures

In an effort to stabilize clinic hours, Adventist Health’s Rapid Care Clinic at 5125 Skyway in Paradise is now closed on Saturdays. The current clinic hours are:
• Monday - Friday: 7:30 a.m. - 6 p.m.

We continue to actively provide new providers to enhance our service offerings and will provide updates to the community as staffing efforts progress.
