Adventist Medical Center St. Helena Remains Closed: Glass Fire

ST. HELENA, CA — Adventist Medical Center in St. Helena has been closed since the Glass Fire broke out and remains closed until further notice, the Napa County Office of Emergency Services advised Tuesday.

"The facility is not prepared to receive patients at this time," Napa County OES said. "Residents in need of acute medical care are asked to seek alternate solutions until the facility is operational."

Hospital staff members have been working diligently to open as soon as possible, but it may take several weeks before they are fully operational, the county said.

"If you are in need of acute medical care from a hospital, please seek an alternate solution. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please dial 911 for treatment and transport to the closest emergency department. If you are seeking ongoing care from the Adventist Health System, please coordinate with your healthcare provider."
