Our Story
Dunsmuir Community Health Center opened as one of Shasta Cascade Health Centers sites in 2012 as a part-time clinic in one half of a duplex suite. Until DCHC opened, the town of Dunsmuir was without primary care providers for a number of years. Residents would have to travel 9 miles north in order to see a healthcare provider. In 2013, Shasta Cascade received a New Access Point grant which allowed DCHC to open full-time with a provider available every weekday. Quickly, the Dunsmuir site outnumbered the unique patient count of the McCloud Clinic, Shasta Cascade’s original site. In 2016, the other half of the duplex suite was purchased by SCHC and a full renovation of the site took place. With twice the space and an updated layout, DCHC was able to offer more services in a more modern and comfortable facility. Today, Dunsmuir Community Health Center continues to offer excellent care to the local community including primary care, chiropractic and behavioral health.
