June 30, 2025, Redding, Calif — As part of its mission to expand and protect vital health services in the North State, Dignity Health has acquired Hilltop Medical Clinic, securing urgent care access for the Redding community. 

Recognizing the vital role this clinic plays in serving the community, Dignity Health is stepping in to ensure continued access to care. Without this transition, the clinic would have been at risk of closure. Effective June 20, 2025, the clinic was transitioned into and renamed Dignity Health Urgent Care. The clinic reopened to the public June 30, 2025.

We have seen a surge in respiratory illnesses like influenza, RSV, and COVID-19. This surge has many seeking care, but deciding between virtual visits, primary care appointments, urgent care, or an emergency department can be overwhelming when you're feeling unwell.

We spoke with Cassandra Annunziata, PA with Dignity Health Medical Group – Sequoia, about her recommendations for making smart health care decisions and healthy habits during flu season.
