CLEARLAKE – A project to redo the front entrance of Redbud Community Hospital began on Tuesday, May 13, with temporary closure of the hospital’s main entrance for the next six to eight weeks.
The front entrance to the facility will be closed while the driveway is being demolished and replaced. Main patient and visitor access will go through the emergency room. A shuttle service will operate between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. in the front parking lot. After hours parking will continue to be located in the back of the hospital.
During this time, crews will remove the landscaping, trees and the current driveway, re-grade the driveway and add a retaining wall, then install a new driveway. The balance of the project will involve landscaping, signage and creation of a meditation garden. The entire project is expected to be complete by the end of September.
“The result will be a beautiful and accessible front entrance to greet our patients and visitors. The high hill will be gone and there will be handicap parking with an easier patient pick up area,” said Linda Gibson, senior vice president of operations for Redbud.
“This is one of the steps in a $10 million building program that includes the recent remodeling of our surgery suites, as well as an expansion of the emergency department scheduled to begin later this summer,” said Gibson. “We’re committed to making Redbud the best rural hospital in the state.” Infrastructure work for the emergency department expansion is now underway.
She concluded, “We’re grateful for our community’s patience during this time, and we’re looking forward to having this project completed for everyone’s convenience and comfort.”

LAKEPORT – The Wellness Center at Sutter Lakeside Hospital and Center for Health is presenting “Intuitive Leadership,” a class that will teach participants ancient leadership principles and how they can be successfully applied today.
The class will be held on Wednesday, June 11, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Sutter Lakeside Hospital in Lakeport.
Instructor and chief executive officer of Sutter Lakeside Kelly Mather will draw upon her more than 20 years of leadership experience in the health care industry to demonstrate how everyone is a leader. They are the leader of their own lives and are also likely to serve as an informal leader to those around them. She will share seven ancient principles which can easily be applied to everyday living and help leaders enjoy a more balanced, wisdom-based experience.
During “Intuitive Leadership,” Mather shares that successful leaders do two things: they ask everyday, “How may I serve,” and follow through with action, and they realize that leadership is about one’s “response-ability;” leaders use their intuition and heart to respond in an enlightened manner.
The class will be held in the Event Tent on the Sutter Lakeside Hospital campus. Refreshments will be served at 5:30 p.m., prior to the beginning of the presentation. There will be a $25 fee for the workshop.
To register or for more information about the class, call the Wellness Center at 262-5171.
