MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Colusa Regional Medical Center is to continuously improve the health of our community and to provide high quality, safe healthcare for our patients.

HISTORY

Colusa Regional Medical Center has a long and honored history of serving the healthcare needs of the people of Colusa County, California, and surrounding areas.  From its humble beginning in January of 1877 as a small, rural medical facility, CRMC has grown to become a vital regional medical center, providing a level of service found only in the best rural community hospitals in the country.

Colusa Regional Medical Center operates a county-wide health system consisting of a 48 bed acute care hospital and skilled nursing facility, a Home Health Agency, and rural health clinics located in the communities of Arbuckle, Colusa, Stonyford and Williams.  CRMC is licensed by the State of California and has earned full accreditation from The Joint Commission, the nation’s “gold standard” in assessing hospital safety and quality of care.  As a nonprofit health system, CRMC's success is derived from the continued support of the people in the communities we serve; a consistent and continued belief in our mission; and, a never-ending focus on each patient's needs.  Colusa Regional Medical Center’s strength is that our employees and staff are members of this community - serving our friends, neighbors and families.

CRMC offers a wide range of services including childbirth services, adult medical and surgical care, emergency medicine, long-term skilled nursing care, laboratory services, imaging and radiographic services, physical rehabilitation, home health and palliative care, outpatient clinic services, and other specialized programs.  The CRMC medical staff have wide ranging expertise including: family practice with obstetrics/gynecology, internal medicine, general and vascular surgery, endoscopy, pulmonary/sleep medicine, radiology, cardiology, emergency medicine, pathology, podiatry, adult and pediatric allergy, nephrology, dermatology and industrial medicine. 

Since becoming a community owned and governed hospital on September 1, 2001, significant capital investments have been made to improve our buildings and physical plant, program expansion, and acquisition of diagnostic and therapeutic equipment and technology.  In 2006, 14,000 square feet of medical office space were constructed and brought on-line providing the most modern of clinic suites for campus physicians.  An Urgent Care and Medical Center was opened in 2006 in the city of Williams, one of our county's fastest growing communities.  Two rural health clinics were opened in 2007 to serve the growing needs of the communities of Arbuckle and Stonyford.  In 2008, CRMC's Physical Rehabilitation Center was opened on our hospital campus offering state-of-the-art rehab including physical, occupational and speech therapies.  The summer of 2008 saw the remodeling of the CRMC Birthing Center and Maternity Department, offering our mothers, babies and their families new private rooms and beautiful decor.  The years 2009 and 2010 have seen major commitments of capital for technology, instrumentation, and equipment.

A comprehensive strategic plan has been adopted providing us with a "roadmap" by which CRMC's growth and development will be guided for many years to come.  The plan focuses on the following strategic priorities: patient safety and quality of care; clinical technology; information technology; employee recruitment and retention; physician recruitment and retention (particularly specialists); physical plant/building; and, overall, matching our services to the healthcare needs of our growing and aging population.
