Sonora, CA…Sonora Regional Medical Center’s phone service was disrupted during yesterday’s electrical storm and repairs to the system have been ongoing through the night. Until the repairs are complete, the phone system can handle only a small volume of calls. The public is requested to limit calls to the hospital for critical or emergency calls only. Calls to schedule or reschedule appointments should be postponed until the phone system is back to 100 percent capacity. Estimated repair time could be as early as Friday afternoon or may extend into the weekend as significant damage to the system was incurred due to the lightning strikes.

No other systems incurred damage at the Medical Center in yesterday’s storm. All other systems are functioning properly and patient care is not affected.

We appreciate your patience as we repair the phone lines.
