MARYSVILLE, CA (MPG) - On Nov. 10, Yuba County celebrated the ribbon-cutting of its new Medical and Mental Health Facility adjacent to Yuba County Jail — a 12-bed facility designed to provide specialized medical and mental health care for those in county custody.              

Funded primarily through Senate Bill 863, this project represents collaboration among state, local, and private partners all with the same goal: promoting rehabilitation, recovery, and safer communities.
