History
The Plumas Hospital District was formed in 1955. In 1956 a bond issue was passed to obtain financing for a new hospital. Funds were also obtained from the Federal Government Hill-Burton Program. The acceptance of Hill-Burton money requires health care institutions to furnish needed services to persons unable to pay for the services. Although this obligation ended in May, 1979, patients who are not able to pay are never turned away. In 1959 a new 25 bed hospital was built on Bucks Lake Road, a half mile from the Courthouse Square in downtown Quincy. Today, Plumas District Hospital continues to provide compassionate high-quality care to the community members of Quincy, Greenville, and central Plumas County.
