Let's Talk Expansion.

This expansion project will provide 25,000 sq ft of new hospital space that will provide a new emergency department, a new clinical laboratory, space for new clinical programs such as pain management and pulmonary rehabilitation, an expanded surgery department and additional space for primary care. The impact of this project through expanded capacity will be significant for our underserved communities. Construction has begun and is scheduled for completion in June of 2027.

A Mesaage from our President & CEO:

“I received several questions yesterday about the Facebook posting which shares that Doug LaMalfa’s CA – 1 District has the most hospitals at risk of closing because of the recent passing of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA). Fairchild Medical Center is listed as of one of six rural hospitals in LaMalfa’s district that will be negatively impacted by this bill which will make the largest cuts to Medicaid in U.S. history.”

Read the full story below:

The reality of the OBBBA is that members of our community and of communities across Siskiyou County may no longer qualify for Medi-Cal coverage. Less insurance coverage too often means less access to care.

Let's Talk FMC Expansion Updates - July 7, 2025

Make sure to read the captions for picture descriptions.

• Storm water retention is being installed. State regulations require a certain amount of water to be retained onsite before being discharged to the City of Yreka storm drain system. The following pictures are of the large gravel lined area where the large retention system will be installed.

• ED Lobby work continues, inside and out, and remains a priority to return to Fairchild operations.

• Outside of the ED lobby work continues on the wall that will be adjacent to the new ED. Modern Building was required to dig under the ED lobby foundation and pour re-enforcing concrete, as the new building foundation will be deeper than the current ED lobby.

• Inside the ED lobby, re-location of above ceiling utilities and mechanical system nears completion. Modern is testing the rain water drains seen in the attached picture.

• Pits have been dug where ED Nursing stations will be located in order to bury under slab conduits servicing the new nursing stations.
