Mayers Memorial Hospital

Mayers Memorial Hospital is a government-operated hospital district facility serving the communities of northeastern California from its location on Highway 299 East in Fall River Mills. For residents of this vast, sparsely populated region — spanning the Fall River Valley, Big Valley, and surrounding mountain communities — Mayers Memorial is not just a skilled nursing provider; it is the cornerstone of local healthcare. Operating as a Critical Access Hospital and skilled nursing provider under a public hospital district, Mayers Memorial brings essential post-acute and long-term care services to seniors who would otherwise face hours of travel to reach the nearest metropolitan medical center. The skilled nursing unit works in direct coordination with the hospital's medical staff, ensuring that residents with complex, chronic, or post-surgical needs receive continuity of care in a familiar local setting. Fall River Mills sits at approximately 3,300 feet elevation in Shasta County, surrounded by the dramatic natural beauty of the Cascade Range and the Great Basin. The iconic Burney Falls — often called one of the most beautiful waterfalls in California — is just 30 miles west via Highway 299. The Fall River itself winds through the valley, a world-renowned fly fishing destination that defines the spirit of the region. Mount Lassen and Lassen Volcanic National Park lie to the south, and the vast Modoc National Forest extends to the east. For seniors who have built their lives in the Fall River Valley, McArthur, Burney, or Adin, remaining close to home means everything. Mayers Memorial's skilled nursing services allow local residents to receive expert care without being separated from the land, neighbors, and community they cherish. Families scattered across the region appreciate having a trusted, accountable public institution providing care for their loved ones. The hospital district model ensures accountability to the community it serves, with governance by locally elected board members who reflect the values of northeastern California.
