RN II - Emergency Department

Located where miles of breathtaking ocean views meet dense coastal forests, Mendocino County has a rich history serving community members on the coast since 1971. We are composed of a 25-bed critical access hospital and offer a range of services in Fort Bragg. The Mendocino Coast offers a small-town atmosphere and is known for its natural beauty, from the smallest to the tallest redwoods in the world, to glass-bottom beaches and the only oceanfront botanical gardens in the United States.

With whale watching, fishing, hiking trails and many more outdoor adventures readily available, this coastal region is a place to immerse yourself in its landscape and history.
