Sacramento, Calif.-based Sutter Health confirmed Aug. 5 its hospital and other facilities in Lakeport, Calif., will remain closed because of the potential threat from nearby wildfires, CBS-13 Sacramento reports.
The health system confirmed the continued closure of Sutter Lakeside Hospital and a variety of medical offices in a prepared statement. The hospital had been under evacuation order since July 28. A team of officials is reportedly working on-site to ensure the facility can reopen once they receive the all-clear.
Officials said in the statement it is unclear when the hospital will reopen.
Sutter Health aims to actively support patients and employees affected by the wildfires. The health system donated $100,000 to the American Red Cross California Wildfires Fund to bring food, water and emergency shelter to families in need.
