Foothill Health and Wellness has recently transitioned ownership from Stem Holdings back to the founding Sisson family, now operating under the new LLC, Ohana Divergent. Despite the ownership change, Foothill Health and Wellness has maintained its strong foundation in the adult-use market, continuing to serve its community from its location nestled between Tahoe and Sacramento for over a decade.

Deep Roots
Founded by Dave Sisson in 2011, Foothill Health and Wellness quickly found its niche, serving the local community as well as travelers journeying from the Bay Area to Tahoe. Since its inception, Foothill has stayed true to its original character and community-focused approach, guided by the Sisson family: Dave’s wife, Stacy Sisson; daughter, Lauren Sisson; son, Mason Sisson; and son-in-law, Jason Music.

Vibing with the Community
Like many of the original medical dispensaries, Foothill Health and Wellness has cultivated a loyal following of regular customers who consistently return for their medicinal needs. Every visit provides an opportunity for customers to connect with the friendly, knowledgeable staff, creating a family-like atmosphere that’s not commonly found in larger, commercial dispensaries.

Foothill remains committed to its community by hosting various events to engage and support its customer base. The shop's mission is as straightforward as ever: "If you help enough people get what they want, you’ll get what you want," says founder Dave Sisson. This philosophy guides their efforts to provide consistently high-quality products at affordable prices. Music ensures this by maintaining close relationships with trusted vendors, focusing on brands that prioritize quality without inflating prices based on trends or hype.

Compassionate Crew
One of the hallmarks of Foothill Health and Wellness is its low staff turnover rate. Many of the team members have been with the shop since nearly the beginning, allowing customers to build long-standing relationships with their budtenders. These relationships help the staff offer personalized, informed recommendations, creating a lively, friendly atmosphere. It’s clear the team shares a strong bond that extends beyond just working hours.

The Wrap
Foothill Health and Wellness offers a timeless medical dispensary experience. Think less Apple Store, and more family-run shop with a thoughtfully curated selection of top-notch products. Whether you're a local from Shingle Springs or just passing through, Foothill is a destination worth stopping at. With its recent ownership transition and continued evolution in the adult-use market, the future looks promising for this beloved local dispensary.
