PARADISE, Calif. -- Six years after the Camp Fire swept through Paradise, the town is still without a full service hospital.

"We need a hospital, an emergency room, something," Mayor Steve Crowder said.

Crowder said the town is working to change that. This summer, the town council approved spending up to $75,000 to complete a strategic healthcare recovery plan. The study, also supported by Adventist Health, will look at gaps in healthcare services since the fire.

"Our intention is to go out and find if we can secure those services that they say we can support," Crowder said. " ...Go out and look at what we used to have in health care, what we have now."

Prior to the fire, Adventist Health operated the only hospital on the Ridge. Although the main building technically survived the fire, damage made it so that it was no longer up to code. The emergency department collapsed, and California law dictates that hospitals can't operate free-standing emergency departments without the rest of the hospital.

Adventist Health has been able to re-offer limited services, including in-home and hospice care services back in January, but Crowder says gaps persist, and the study should help with that.

"We're hoping by spring to have the results of [the study]," Crowder said.
