About the Medical Center
Adventist Health Howard Memorial is a faith- based, not- for-
profit health and wellbeing organization located in Willits,
California. Operated as a 25- bed critical access hospital with 337
associates and 180 medical staff members offering key service areas
including a 24- hour emergency department, intensive care,
laboratory, imaging orthopedics and spine care, physical
rehabilitation, surgery and retail pharmacy. Redwood Medical
Clinic, located on the same property of the hospital, offers
primary care, orthopedics and general surgery services for the
community. In 1925, the Willits Development Association began
discussing the need for a modern hospital. Working with the
American Legion Post , they sponsored an old- fashioned celebration
on the Fourth of July. The proceeds were designated for the
building of a Willits Community Hospital. Charles S. Howard, owner
of a nearby ranch (as well as owner of the racehorse "Seabiscuit"),
was the first grand marshal of the Frontier Days Parade. The
tradition of Frontier Days began as an annual fundraising event
that has continued nonstop to today. Just two months before the
second annual Frontier Days, the son of Charles Howard, 15- year-
old Frank R. Howard, was injured in a very serious automobile
accident. The doctor was summoned, but, because of the seriousness
of the boy's injuries and lack of a 'real' hospital or emergency
equipment, he was unable to save the boy. The tragedy moved Charles
Howard to donate the then- tremendous sum of $30,000 for the
construction of Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital. The
groundbreaking took place in 1927 and the first patient was
admitted in 1928.
