2024 — Sierra County's Annual 5k — (2024)

Sierra Vista is a Community-Operated Critical Access hospital purchased on September 9, 1997. Providing emergency, clinical, and diagnostic imaging to the people of Sierra County. Originally owned and operated by nuns in the 1940s. We continue to grow and strive to provide the best care with state-of-the-art imaging equipment, a brand-new Emergency Room, and swing bed units. At Sierra Vista, we are more than just health care we are a part of the community, and we work to benefit the community. Sierra Vista Radiology Department brings multiple modalities. Such as X-ray, CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Mammography, Bone Density (DEXA), Echocardiogram (ECHO), and Ultrasound.

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we want to notify our community about the importance of getting your yearly mammogram. Most people have the misconception that breast cancer is more common in those with a family history. Surprisingly though, 85% of women with NO family history, are diagnosed with breast cancer. That is 1 out of every 8 women. At Sierra Vista Hospital and Clinics, we offer 2D and 3D mammograms, giving your provider the best quality imaging. Please contact your provider or the SVH Radiology team for guidance on acquiring a mammogram.

Sierra County's Fourth Annual 5k is being hosted to help raise breast cancer awareness. Proceeds raised will be generously donated to Sierra County Cancer Assistance and other Cancer Associations. We hope you can join us in our Walk/Run for Hope against breast cancer.
