About Us
Banner Lassen Medical Center in Susanville, Calif. originally opened in 1883 as Lassen County Hospital. In 1994, Lutheran Health System assumed management responsibility for the hospital and purchased the hospital from St. Mary’s Hospital in 1999. That year, the Lutheran Health System merged with Samaritan Health and became Banner Health. Banner Health decided to build a new facility north of town and the new Banner Lassen Medical Center opened in May 2003.
A 25-bed, critical access hospital, Banner Lassen offers quality care, close to home. In addition to providing our patients with a safe, efficient and caring environment, Banner Lassen offers a wide range of programs and services to aid in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness. We offer private rooms and home-like birthing suites.
Banner Lassen has invested in the latest medical equipment to allow staff to perform a wider range of services. We have a 16-Slice CT Scan, Nuclear Medicine, MRI, Ultrasound, Bone Density, Mammography and CAD (a second look at mammography exams). The hospital also offers Infusion and Oncology Therapy, Respiratory Therapy and Cardiopulmonary services as well as laboratory services, inpatient and outpatient Surgical Center and an Emergency department that is open around the clock. We also have a small chapel located in the Emergency department waiting area for those who need a place for reflection.
