Santa Rosa, California-based Northern California Medical Associates, a large independent physician-owned multi-specialty medical group, has announced the closure of its Santa Rosa, California offices. The May 1, 2021, closure will impact 151 employees, including physicians and support staff.
The decision driving the closure was the circumstances surrounding the Glass wildfire incident and its subsequent impact on the practice, both financial and operational, including closures due to poor air quality.
According to a practice spokesperson, "We regret to inform you that three years of natural disaster and corporate financial decline will force Northern California Medical Associates to cease doing clinical business. This closing will involve cessation of all operations and termination of all employees at the site, with the exception of those continuing on in administration with closure duties."
The company's other locations in Fountain Grove and Petaluma have been periodically closed for what the company describes as "technical difficulties."
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
