UCSF Health and Adventist Health today announced that they plan to team up and submit a plan to revive Madera Community Hospital, which shut down just over a year ago. “We’re committed to not only reopening the facility but ensuring that these facilities are both clinically credible and financially sustainable into the future,” Suresh Gunasekaran, president of UCSF Health, said during the press call.

They said the proposal would restore critical health services that were stripped away from Madera residents and bring the resources of the University of California Health system to an underserved community.“The partnership will bring prestige and stability that can help to rebuild community trust and restore faith in the quality of care that customers can expect to receive,” said Sen. Anna Caballero, a Democrat whose district includes Madera.
