UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Sutter Lakeside Hospital has donated a building that previously housed its Upper Lake Medical Clinic to the Upper Lake School District this summer.
The modular structure, originally a $247,000 investment, was constructed on school property in 1997.
“We’ve had to make some difficult financial decisions here at Sutter Lakeside over the past year in order to become more affordable to our patients,” said Sutter Lakeside Chief Financial Officer Krista Touros.
“Because caring for everyone in community is our mission, several employees from the former Upper Lake Clinic are now working at our Family Medicine Clinic,” Touros said. “Our Mobile Health Services Unit visits the Upper Lake High School campus every Tuesday to provide care, as well. We want to ensure that our patients have access to quality health care.”
The building continues to house the Healthy Start program, a not-for-profit organization.
“We’ve been great neighbors with Sutter Lakeside for years and we’re grateful to them for giving us the keys to their building,” said Upper Lake High School District Superintendent Pat Iaccino. “Now, we’re searching for a new tenant to share the space with Healthy Start to add even more value to the space.”
Debbie Fenton, formerly with the Upper Lake Clinic, is now practicing in the Family Medicine Clinic on the Sutter Lakeside Hospital campus.
The Mobile Health Services Unit can be found parked at the Upper Lake High School on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
