I was so impressed with the quick responsiveness of the staff here. The receptionist was friendly and helpful. I called at 2:30 regarding getting vaccinated, received a call back at 2:45, with an appointment scheduled for 3:30. It made me feel well taken care of and glad to be living in a small town!

I had reservations regarding getting my COVID vaccine yesterday after hearing about the procedure or lack of procedure in Yreka! However, Forrest and crew had their process dialed in with organization, compassion, and friendly yet professional atmosphere. My appointment was for 3PM and I walked in the door at that time. I was greeted and was given a small information card to fill out. After a short wait we were called in for our shot. Had I not seen her give it I would not know I had it. I did not feel anything and still do not. Hey, maybe it was a dream! However, my wife was with me and she said
