Plumas District Hospital, identified as one of 100 Top Hospitals by Health Care Innovation Awards (HCIA) for delivering the most cost-efficient and highest quality medical care will now have a top-notch website to exemplify their duly earned title.

Last Monday, Plumas District Hospital proudly launched its newly redesigned website pdh.org for all to see. “The timing for our new website launch couldn’t be better. As we work to revive and grow our facilities and programs, recruit and retain great staff, and focus on our #1 Strategic Goal of achieving a Culture of Excellence, this has to be reflected on our online presentation. I’m excited that Big Fish Creations has worked with us to capture the spirit and content of our revitalization,” said Jeffrey Kepple MD, CEO Plumas District Hospital.

The newly redesigned website features advanced web apps that allow the user to search for hospital and rural services, medical providers, and specialties. The site also implements a modern responsive design that adapts to any screen size, and includes a powerful backend system that is scalable to the needs of the hospital as required.

The collaborative effort between Plumas District Hospital and Big Fish Creations was an ongoing process that resulted in the successful rebranding of the hospital. “It has been a pleasure to work with Mike and Patty from Big Fish Creations. I had no idea that developing a new site would be such an undertaking! I’m pleased that we were able to collaborate with a local company that’s invested in our community and our hospital, “said Leann Kennedy, Community Relations Coordinator for Plumas District Hospital.

Plumas District Hospital’s new website will be updated on a regular basis with events, outreach, news and information pertaining to hospital and clinic happenings. Visitors are encouraged to explore the website and sign up for direct emails from the hospital.
