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.Community Overview:Willits, CA, acclaimed as the
