Orchard Hospital

Orchard Hospital sits on Spruce Street in Gridley, serving people from Biggs, Gridley, Richvale, and Live Oak, and it's open all day, every day, even weekends and holidays, so folks in the area can get care when they need it without having to travel too far, and you can tell they focus a lot on their values around honesty, integrity, and making sure staff are engaged and do good work, and they really want the care to be focused on patients, not just numbers. Folks can get 24/7 emergency care there with physicians on duty at all times, and the hospital has 45 beds in total, with space for skilled nursing, critical care, and medical surgical needs, and those needing post-hospital help can use the swing bed program to regain strength and wellness before going home. There's a good variety of services, so you'll find primary care, wound care, family care, rehabilitation therapy, cardio-pulmonary support, social and case management services, psychotherapy, digital radiology, and clinic appointments that offer blood tests and 3D mammography. They've also got laboratory testing and a Medical Imaging Department where folks can get radiologic procedures, plus special programs like Senior Life Solutions that help older adults connect with community care, and they provide rehabilitation both for those staying at the hospital and for folks coming in just for therapy. Since the hospital's a public charity, registered with an EIN, it puts effort into community-oriented services and keeping care accessible for everyone, even acting as a safe surrender site for infants up to 72 hours old, because it's important to look after everyone in the community. People needing workers' compensation, industrial medicine, physical exams, drug screening, and even chiropractic care can get those services here, and you'll also find hospital staff who aim to coordinate care between doctors, families, and community agencies so no one feels left out or lost in the process. The Hovlid Community Care Center and Senior Life Solutions department provide extra help for seniors and for folks needing to coordinate ongoing support in daily life or after an illness. Overall, Orchard Hospital keeps things close to home, makes sure a doctor's around at all times, and stays ready for anything from emergency services along Highway 99 to ongoing rehabilitation and specialty clinic care, always aiming to improve the health and well-being of the local community.
