FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Chester, CA – March 28, 2025 – Seneca Healthcare District (SHD) continues to set the standard for exceptional patient care in the Lake Almanor area and surrounding communities. The district’s unwavering commitment to improvement and excellence has once again been highlighted through heartfelt testimonials from grateful patients. 

In recent interviews conducted by SHD’s marketing team, two patients shared their transformative experiences at Seneca Healthcare District. One patient, who had previously been terrified of hospital visits due to past experiences, described her time at Seneca as “walking out of hell and into heaven.” She praised the phenomenal care and the compassionate, professional manner in which the staff treated her, making her stay not only bearable but uplifting. 

Another patient, a gentleman who had been apprehensive due to negative rumors about hospital care, expressed his complete satisfaction with his visit. He described feeling “pleased as punch” with the care, food, and overall experience at Seneca, stating that he would not hesitate to return if needed. 

While also heartwarming, these testimonials are a testament to SHD’s continuous efforts to improve and strive to be the provider of choice for the Lake Almanor area and surrounding communities. Leadership at Seneca Healthcare District attributes this success to the dedication and professionalism of their staff, who consistently go above and beyond to ensure patient satisfaction. 

Recent statistics further underscore the district’s success in patient care. According to the latest patient satisfaction survey, 92% of patients reported being highly satisfied with the care they received. Additionally, 89% of patients expressed confidence in the medical staff’s expertise and professionalism. These impressive figures reflect the district’s commitment to maintaining high standards and continuously improving services.
