Arcata is just 90 miles south of the Oregon border and 275 miles north of San Francisco, and is known for clean ocean air, moderate temperatures and beautiful landscapes with giant redwoods, flowing rivers and farmlands.
Mad River Community Hospital also provides a wide range of Home Health Services throughout the community, and operates four health care clinics, an occupational health clinic, and three physical therapy/rehabilitation clinics in Arcata, McKinleyville, and Willow Creek.
