Seneca Heathcare District Updates
Chelssa Outland, PIO 
Re-Opening Soon
Date: August 17, 2021
Seneca Healthcare District employees have begun the first phase in re-opening the hospital. The safety and wellbeing of our staff, residents and patients will continue to be our main priority. Employees are working hard to prepare our facility to re-open.
*** Seneca's ability to reopen is dependent on the status of the evacuation order. ***
Working to Fulfill Patient Needs
Date: August 17, 2021
During the Dixie Fire evacuations, Seneca Healthcare District has been working hard to take care of our patients in whatever way we can. One of the ways we are attempting to facilitate the needs of our patients is by providing information for them to obtain their prescriptions during evacuations.
Due to the Dixie Fire incident, the internet, phone lines, and our systems are not working correctly. The staff has been working long hours to answer messages and facilitate patients in obtaining their prescriptions. For non-narcotic refills, patients can take their prescription pill bottles to the pharmacy nearest their current location and request an emergency refill.
Patients needing refills for narcotics will need to go to the nearest walk-in or urgent care clinic for a new prescription. If assistance is needed to verify provider information, patient status, please call (530) 258-6973. Please leave a message including; your name, birth date, your provider, and preferred contact number. Please allow up to 72 hours for our staff to get back to you.
Seneca Healthcare District staff appreciates your understanding and patience during this time.
