At that time, the private board running the Santa Paula Memorial Hospital announced an immediate\u00a0financial crisis. The hospital was on the verge of closing its doors permanently due to decades of operating losses, a high number of uninsured patients, and low reimbursement rates.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Recognizing that, at the time,\u00a0our community could not afford to lose its hospital, the neighbors mobilized, and Ventura County stepped in. In 2003, the County officially\u00a0purchased\u00a0the facility, bringing it under the Ventura County Medical Center (VCMC) license.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">An important part of this history is the hospital land sale. The purchase of the hospital building and campus resulted in a $2.75 million transaction. Every dollar of those proceeds was strictly legally dedicated to resolving the legacy debts, outstanding liabilities, and immediate operational deficits left behind by the\u00a0previous\u00a0private hospital board. This financial rescue allowed the doors to remain open.

But healthcare has changed completely over the last twenty years. Today, staying healthy isn&#8217;t about how many hospital beds are in a building. It is about having quick, local access to doctors, family clinics, urgent care centers, and mental health support right in our neighborhoods.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">To understand exactly what our residents need, Ventura County recently conducted a deep, data-driven Community Health Needs Assessment for Santa Paula, Fillmore, and Piru. We also looked closely at a Health Disparity Report to see how socioeconomic factors like language, income, and transport impact our Latino neighbors, who make up 80% of our valley&#8217;s population.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">The facts show us that our community is using healthcare differently now. To provide the best, safest, and most stable care for our families, County leadership is preparing to make major decisions. Ahead of the upcoming Board of Supervisors (BOS) meeting in August 2026, we want to share the data we gathered and the potential paths forward being looked at to protect your health safety net.<\/p><div><div><div id=\"_com_1\" class=\"msocomtxt\"><p><!-- [if !supportAnnotations]--><\/p><\/div><p><!--[endif]--><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-601e71a elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"601e71a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;expanded&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

How will Santa Paula, Fillmore, and Piru access emergency and outreach services? What is the plan to protect vulnerable residents?<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>We recognize the overwhelming worry and fear that comes with securing life-saving care for a vulnerable family member. We want to reassure you that the County and Health Care Agency will continue to provide services in the Santa Paula, Fillmore, and Piru communities. Serious emergencies, like major breathing crises, trauma, or strokes, will continue to be sent directly by ambulances to specialized centers like VCMC or CMH to keep patients safe. SPH will stay open until 2030.<\/p><p><strong>Why would Santa Paula Hospital close or reduce services before a new location to replace it is finalized and ready for the community? We live in Piru and already travel very far for care.<\/strong><\/p><p>We hear you, and we know that traveling from Piru or Fillmore makes getting care harder. California\u2019s 2030 earthquake laws require hospitals to meet updated building standards. To prepare, we are actively designing a new care system to ensure uninterrupted medical services. Our goal is to maintain a strong healthcare presence along the Highway 126 corridor, keeping emergency and family services easily accessible for residents in Piru and Fillmore.<\/p><p><strong>Inpatient volume is down 23%, and key units like the ICU and OB closed in 2024. Why has use gone down? Do ambulances bypass us, or is the data biased?<\/strong><\/p><p>The numbers are real and reflect how modern healthcare works. Most people in the valley who need to stay overnight in a hospital, about 77% already choose or are sent to larger hospitals outside the valley. Real ambulance data shows that 80% of the trips to SPH are for lower-intensity needs, and less than half of one percent are major, life-threatening cases. Ambulances take critical cases to larger centers because that is where the advanced specialists are located.<\/p><p><strong>Can you give data on the ER census and transfers? Are sick patients transferred mostly because specialty services were cut?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>SPH has about 17,000 ER visits a year, but only 5.5% of those patients actually need to be admitted to a hospital bed. This low number shows that the ER mostly treats less-serious issues, like minor injuries or common illnesses. When patients are transferred out, it is not because of recent budget cuts. Patients continue to be transferred to ensure that they receive the best medical care for serious conditions like major trauma or heart attack that require specialized doctors and equipment.<\/p><p><strong>What specific reforms are being implemented immediately? How are you going to recruit and retain physicians?<\/strong><\/p><p>While the new modern health hub plan is in development, we are actively streamlining our current clinic workflows to improve your experience and reduce wait. Recruiting excellent physicians to small, rural hospitals is a challenge nationwide, as many physicians prefer to work in modern spaces with the latest advanced tools rather than in older buildings. This new project may help us attract top quality doctors to serve your families.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-2361\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"2\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-2361\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Fiscal Accountability &amp; Use of Funds <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2361\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5667de9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5667de9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-623746c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"623746c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>The County bought SPH for $2.7M, which included land sold for $10M.

Can we build an &#8220;all-in-one&#8221; center like Kaiser or CMH?<\/strong><\/p><p>This is an excellent suggestion, and it matches our vision. While we cannot keep the current building open as a full hospital due to earthquake laws, our plan is to ensure we have a mix of services that are congruent with the community needs. We have several years even a decade in the area. We have countless health statistics and utilization of the population in the Santa Clara River Valley. We will uses these historical trends to predict outcomes and usage of services to align care to meet residents&#8217; needs. However, this location also presents challenges for residents in the Valley. Our goal is to find a location down the hill perhaps close to HWY 126 to make healthcare more accessible to residents throughout the valley.<\/p><p><strong>Has HCA considered partnering with Kaiser, Dignity, or UCLA to provide hospital services? Can another agency take over if the County cannot?<\/strong><\/p><p>We have looked closely at corporate and public-private partnerships. Large private systems like Kaiser or UCLA have strict requirements about where they build, and they look for high patient volumes that a small community like ours does not have. No other healthcare groups have expressed interest in taking over the current building because of the massive in excess of $25 million cost for earthquake safety upgrades.<\/p><p><strong>Why not place the hospital in the middle of Santa Paula and Fillmore? Does Limoneira have land there, and would it qualify for rural hospital funding?<\/strong><\/p><p>We did study a 25-acre parcel of land owned by the Limoneira Company for a replacement hospital. However, updated studies showed that building a brand-new hospital there would exceed the County&#8217;s appetite for investment and would perpetuate and already continuous financial losses. Also, highway access rules and land constraints mean a hospital could not be finished there before the 2030 legal deadline.<\/p><p><strong>Why not organize local fundraisers (marathons, GoFundMe, dances) with Limoneira and local museums to raise money instead of waiting for state funds?<\/strong><\/p><p>We love the passion and spirit of this community, and we want to be highly visible and collaborative with you. While local fundraisers show how much the community cares, the costs we are facing are simply too large for grass-roots fundraising. A new hospital requires up at minmum tens-of-millions to build and millions more each year to run. We must rely on major state funds, federal grants, and strategic property planning to secure that level of funding.<\/p><p><strong>Re: Pg 9 Pie Chart (on the Santa Paula Hospital Presentation), what would you estimate the percentage would need to be to consider the new facility off the Hwy 126?<\/strong><\/p><p>To build a facility right off Highway 126, the location must be highly accessible for residents traveling from Santa Paula, Fillmore, and Piru. We do not use a strict percentage rule. Instead, we look at traffic patterns, transit times, and safety on the highway. Any final site selection will focus on making sure the location is easy to reach for the maximum number of valley residents. Our goal is to be accessible to as many patients as possible. While we prioritize convenient locations, our final decision must balance these goals with what is practically available and can be sustainably maintained to provide you with high-quality, uninterrupted care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-2363\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"4\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-2363\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Legislative &amp; Political Pressure <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2363\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02cc72c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"02cc72c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99ca1be elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"99ca1be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>What specifically are you doing to pressure our state legislative delegation and members of Congress for extra resources?

Bringing the current building up to basic earthquake legal requirements would require an investment exceeding $25 million. Additionally, state licensing laws mandate that a hospital maintain expensive, 24\/7 departments, regardless of how few patients utilize them. Meeting these staffing and operational requirements would result in an ongoing loss of over $7.5 million every year, which would unfortunately divert vital funding away from our local community clinics and outpatient services.<\/p><p><strong>For 10 years we have heard about plans for a new hospital in East Santa Paula.

Instead, we are investing in a brand-new, modern facility designed to provide exceptional care for decades to come.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1090697258\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1090697258\" data-tab-index=\"8\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 8;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-34ca650 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"34ca650\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e6c07c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e6c07c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To support transparency and keep the community informed, presentations, informational materials, and community briefings related to the hospital closure and the Santa Clara River Valley transition will be posted in this section as they become available.
