      <title>Santa Paula Hospital Faces Seismic Compliance Closure by 2030 — Rural Ventura County Health Desert Risk</title>
      <link>https://www.fqhctalent.com/intel/santa-paula-hospital-seismic-closure-threat-2030</link>
      <description>Santa Paula Hospital (49-bed, Ventura County Medical Center system) faces potential closure by January 1, 2030 due to SB 1953 seismic compliance. Needs $36.2M for seismic upgrades + deferred maintenance, plus $10M/year to stay open. Inpatient numbers down 23% over 4 years, losing $7.5M annually. If closed, Santa Clara River Valley farmworker communities lose hospital access. Clinicas del Camino Real, the primary FQHC in the area, would face emergency overflow.
