Modoc Medical Center (MMC) is a 16 bed Critical Access Hospital located in Alturas, California near the junction of Highways 299 and 395. In addition to our acute care services, we also provide family practice clinic services and are licensed for 71 skilled nursing beds. Together, these activities serve a 4,500 square mile area of Northeastern California, bordering on Oregon and Nevada.

MMC has been providing healthcare in Modoc County since the early 1900's. Currently, it is transitioning from a County facility to a District facility as a result of Measures Q & R that passed on August 31, 2010. The District name is the Last Frontier Healthcare District doing business as Modoc Medical Center.

Locally, the Modoc Frontier Healthcare Association was formed to assist in the construction of a new facility. The current structure has been occupied since 1951, and no longer meets seismic requirements regulated by the state of California. MMC has been granted an extension until January 1, 2020 to meet these requirements.

MMC and Shasta Regional Community Foundation have partnered for the Foundation to accept donations on MMC's behalf. Their contact information is 1335 Arboretum Drive, Suite B, Redding, California 96003, (530) 244-1219. Any donations received will enhance the healthcare services provided and are truly appreciated.
