Help Us Save Glenn Medical Center
Glenn Medical Center is facing an urgent crisis—and we need your help.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) notified us that our hospital no longer meets the geographic distance requirement for designation as a Critical Access Hospital (CAH).
This decision is based on CMS’s measurement that Colusa Medical Center lies within 35 miles of our facility—despite our repeated appeals and extensive advocacy efforts to demonstrate the flaws in this determination. If this decision stands, Glenn Medical Center will lose its CAH designation and the federal cost-based reimbursement that keeps our hospital financially viable.
What’s at Stake?
Without this critical funding, our emergency department and inpatient services are at serious risk of shutting down as early as next year. This would leave our rural community without access to life-saving care—especially in moments when every minute counts.
Our Commitment Remains
Our outpatient clinics will remain open and unaffected, and we are committed to preserving as many local jobs and services as possible. We anticipate retaining the majority of our current staff through facility reassignment, regional administrative support, and continued outpatient services like Lab, Radiology, and Physical Therapy.
