History
8
A hospital was authorized on July 31, 1919, when the Catholic Church board awarded A.G. McComb a contract to build it from stone quarried near Alturas, California. It was in use by October 1920 under local managers. In 1935, it was sold to a group of five local doctors and was managed by Mary Moon, RN. In 1950, Mabel McDonald, RN, managed it. The hospital closed in September 1970. Lake County purchased it in 1974, remodeled it into a community senior center, and opened it to public use and senior-center functions in 1976. From 1978 to 1980, remodeling was further completed, with local board directors managing senior programs, building facilities, and upkeep.
