Important Medi-Cal Renewal Reminder for 2026:

If you have Medi-Cal and an Unsatisfactory Immigration Status (UIS) — meaning you may qualify for Medi-Cal under California rules even if your immigration status doesn’t meet federal requirements — it’s very important to renew on time.

- Starting January 1, 2026: Adults 19 and older who miss their renewal may lose full Medi-Cal and won’t be able to re-enroll

- Children under 19 can get full Medi-Cal back if coverage lapses

- Some adults may only qualify for limited Medi-Cal (emergency and pregnancy care)

If Medi-Cal lapses, you may lose access to regular doctor visits and preventive care. Please renew your Medi-Cal before your renewal date to keep your benefits.

If you need help renewing or have questions? Contact MCH Eligibility at (909) 336-2419.

*Update* To improve patient wait times and enhance privacy, the Laboratory is implementing a new registration process.

Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.:
Patients will register at the Front Desk.

Monday–Friday, 5:30 a.m.–8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m., and Saturdays 6:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.:
Patients will register through the Emergency Department.

After registering, patients will wait in the newly remodeled waiting area until called back by a Laboratory clinical team member.

The Laboratory will no longer have a separate waiting room, allowing space for a second blood draw station and improved patient flow and privacy.

Thank you for your patience as we make these improvements!

Happy New Year’s Eve! 🎉 As we step into the new year, we’re collecting new or gently used jackets and shoes to support patients in need. Donations can be dropped off in the Emergency Department, where patients often require more than medical care alone.

Thank you for helping us care for our community—your kindness makes a meaningful difference.

Our Director of Acute Care Nursing, Julie Davis, RN, shares why supporting local healthcare is so important.

“As someone who works at Mountains Community Hospital, I get to see every day just how much this place means to our community. But I don’t just work here, I trust this hospital with the people I love most.

When my own family needs care, this is where we come. The compassion, skill, and dedication our team demonstrates go far beyond what most people realize. In a small community, having access to quality healthcare close to home is invaluable.

Your generosity helps keep essential care, equipment, and services close to home when they matter most. Thank you for supporting local healthcare, as we all know it takes a village.”
