Adventist Health Mendocino Coast has a rich history in serving community members on the coast.
Following a grass-roots effort to pass a hospital district initiative, Mendocino Coast District Hospital, was dedicated on June 26, 1971.
Mendocino Coast District Hospital took its place as an important resource for the Fort Bragg community offering residents the peace of mind that comes from knowing emergency help is readily available and medical care often can be provided locally, keeping families together as much as possible.
In July 2020, Mendocino Coast District Hospital joined the Adventist Health family.
