Adventist Health Files WARN Notices for ~125 Employees Across 21 California Hospitals — Rural FQHC Referral Backstops Included

On June 25, 2026, Adventist Health filed California WARN Act notices covering approximately 125 employees spread across 21 hospitals — small counts per site (1-15 each) at facilities including Bakersfield, Glendale, White Memorial (Los Angeles and Montebello), Ukiah Valley, Howard Memorial, Mendocino Coast, Lodi Memorial, Sonora, St. Helena, Clear Lake, Hanford, Delano, Tehachapi Valley, Simi Valley, Sierra Vista, Twin Cities, Vallejo, Roseville, and Rideout.

As of July 2, no press coverage of the filing exists; the pattern — thin, distributed administrative counts across the whole system — is consistent with the phased back-office restructuring Adventist Health announced in August 2025 (~300 corporate roles, outsourcing finance, HR, supply-chain IT, and accounts payable to vendor partners, phased into 2026), NOT a clinical-service closure, and no source ties it to H.R.

1 or Medicaid cuts. Why it matters for FQHCs: several affected facilities (Ukiah Valley, Howard Memorial, Mendocino Coast, Clear Lake, Sonora, Lodi) are the rural hospital referral backstops North State, North Coast, and Central Valley health centers depend on — worth monitoring whether the restructuring stays administrative.
