Community Health System is a private, not-for-profit healthcare network serving families in California's Central Valley. Founded in 1897 and headquartered in Fresno, it is locally owned and governed, with operational decisions about patient care made within the community. The organization employs over 11,000 team members, making it the region's largest private employer.
The network operates four hospitals: Community Regional Medical Center, Clovis Community Medical Center, Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital, and Community Behavioral Health Center. It also runs a cancer institute and skilled nursing facilities. Community Regional Medical Center is home to the only Level I Trauma Center between Los Angeles and Sacramento.
Community Health System's services span trauma care, burn care, cardiovascular procedures, cancer treatment, and skilled nursing. The organization trains healthcare professionals through residency and fellowship programs and invests millions annually back into community health programs and services.
