AltaMed Launches Fire Relief Fund to Support Patients, Employees After Medical Center Destroyed in Fire
A Crisis Unfolds
AltaMed Health Services, one of the nation’s largest federally qualified health centers, had to evacuate their Pasadena clinic due to the Eaton Fire, which later burned to the ground.
A Relief Effort Born
In the wake of the destruction, the hospital has launched a relief fund to support patients and employees affected by the Southern California wildfires.
The AltaMed 2025 Fire Relief Fund
The AltaMed 2025 Fire Relief Fund will raise money to help cover the services being offered to evacuees at the Pasadena Convention Center and provide immediate relief and support to patients, employees, and community members who live in the fire-stricken area.
Impact on Patients and Employees
Evacuation orders due to the fires have impacted other AltaMed clinics in the area, and they remain temporarily closed. The fire isn’t just affecting patients, as several hundred employees have been displaced by the Eaton Fire and 15 of them lost their homes at last check, according to hospital officials.
A Commitment to Care
“Notwithstanding, providers, staff, and administrators are committed to maintaining a continuity of care for our patients and assisting others in the area who need care,” AltaMed officials said.
