Our Founder's Dream and Our Story

​

Mary “Bunny” Hearst-Ives was the great-granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst, the iconic businessman credited with developing America’s largest newspaper and media company. Born on Easter Sunday, and therefore lovingly named Bunny, she was the force, soul and voice behind the conception and realization of McCloud Healthcare Clinic – a new form of “Mother McCloud”, which expanded to multiple clinics to serve the communities of South Siskiyou County and is today known as Shasta Cascade Health Centers.

​

Bunny had a vision, a dream of providing affordable, accessible, quality healthcare in McCloud. The dream became her passion to set up a clinic to serve a community which then had no access to basic medical care in the area.

​

The first grant for the clinic from the Hearst Corporation was the result of the efforts of Bunny and other committed community members. Considerable personal sacrifices from community members were made. Many donated their time and money. The hard work and efforts paid off, when on Aug 1, 2000, McCloud Healthcare Clinic opened its doors to serve the healthcare needs of the McCloud

.

Bunny didn’t stop there, and further led us as our first board president, to ensure we stayed true to our mission to serve the community. Unfortunately, following a long battle with cancer, she passed away at the Hearst Family Ranch in 2004 at the age of 51.

​

Since then, the clinic has expanded its services and centers to continue fulfilling Bunny’s dream of providing affordable and accessible healthcare with dignity and respect to our under-served, rural communities. Following her vision, we expanded and added a dental clinic, behavioral health services, a new clinic in Dunsmuir and expanded our services to Mount Shasta to meet the unmet medical, dental, and behavioral health needs of our communities.

​

We all follow the path of our own life and leave our footprints behind. Those footprints manifest themselves in ways we have touched and impacted the life of others in the community. The heart and soul of Shasta Cascade Health Centers is the manifestation and reflection of the way Bunny Hearst left her legacy and footprints, by touching the lives of thousands, and as we believe, still continues to do so every day.
