Roughly 130 patients were evacuated from Kaiser Permanente's Santa Rosa medical center on Monday morning.
Another 70 patients were evacuated from Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital.
Hospitals in Napa and Sonoma counties have seen an influx of patients affected by the wildfires. Some of these patients have suffered serious burns, while many more have come in with breathing problems, according to a statement by St. Joseph Health, which has received more than 100 patients.
