Alliance Medical Center in Healdsburg, California, turned on a new rooftop solar and battery storage system in response to the 2017 Tubbs Fire experience when power outages caused significant disruptions. The system, funded by Direct Relief's Power for Health initiative, ensures continuous power for clinical areas, electronic records, and medication refrigerators. The initiative aims to assist community health centers nationwide in preparing for power outages from extreme weather and grid issues to avoid financial losses and healthcare disruptions.
