Redwoods Rural Health Center has been planning an interior remodel at both the Medical and Dental Buildings at 101 West Coast Road for the last year, and we’re excited to announce construction will start in the Medical Building April 25th! 

Sequoia Constructions' crew will be remodeling the interior of the medical building in phases so that our team of exceptional healthcare providers can continue to serve our patients. 

The first phase of construction will be in the center of the building, focused on creating a new hard ceiling to support the new HVAC system. Each phase of construction will include a new HVAC system, new flooring, new cabinetry for the exam rooms and pharmacy, new ADA compliant exam chairs, and fresh paint. 

During Phase 1, from April 26th –July 1st, the main Medical Building entrance will be open, and all services will continue to be provided. We look forward to the remodel work and apologize for any noise during construction.  

We will keep you updated on construction progress in our newsletter, Facebook and at rrhc.org
