Mendocino Coast hospital board to vote Thursday on borrowing up to $20 million for earthquake safety work

FORT BRAGG, CA., 10/7/26 — The board that owns the Fort Bragg hospital will vote Thursday on whether to borrow up to $20 million for seismic retrofitting work, according to the meeting agenda.

The state requires retrofitting by Jan. 1, 2030. The district says finishing on time is what keeps the hospital licensed and open. It plans to do the construction in stages so the hospital can keep running during the work, according to its website.
