Mendocino Coast District Hospital History

Mendocino Coast District Hospital, a 25-bed acute care hospital, was dedicated on June 26, 1971 following a grass-roots effort to pass a hospital district initiative on the January, 1967 ballot. Since then MCDH has taken its place as an important resource of our community. The Hospital offers 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. Conversely, the hospital could not exist without the community support that built it and continues to sustain it.

Today, MCDH is committed to providing the most sophisticated care possible while operating in a rural environment. We maintain a strong medical/surgical services and provide facilities for many specialty practices. The Hospital recognizes its special opportunities to involve staff, physicians and volunteers in providing personalized care to patients and their families.

Mendocino Coast District Hospital is fully licensed by the Department of Health Services and accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and the California Medical Association. In addition, Mendocino Coast District Hospital is a member of the Association of California Hospital Districts and the California Healthcare Association.
