Rideout Health

About Rideout Health Rideout Health is a non-profit community-based system comprised of two acute-care, not-for-profit hospitals: Rideout Memorial Hospital, and Fremont Medical Center; the Heart Center at Rideout; the Cancer Center affiliated with UC Davis Medical Center; outpatient clinics and a host of ancillary services including: senior living services; home health; hospice and durable medical equipment; located throughout Yuba, Sutter and Nevada Counties. Rideout's health system employs more than 2300 employees and has approximately 300 physicians on the medical staff. Rideout Health provides the full range of healthcare services to our community. It is this full array of services that's enables our hospitals to provide complete healthcare for everyone, for the benefit of the entire community, including those who cannot afford to pay. At not-for-profit, community-based hospitals, profitable services indirectly fund unprofitable - yet necessary - services like trauma and women's health. Investor-owned (for profit) healthcare organizations have a big financial incentive to avoid caring for uninsured and under insured patients.
