Healthcare in the Area
The communities of Fresno and Clovis, along with the surrounding area, are well-served by numerous medical providers. A number of leading hospital campuses are fused with a wealth of clinics and professionals specializing in a range of healthcare fields—making up a medical community that is truly second to none.
Community Medical Centers stands as the largest nonprofit hospital system in the San Joaquin Valley, encompassing three acute-care hospitals and several long- term care and outpatient centers throughout the region. In addition to the Clovis Community Medical Center, the only full-service hospital in Clovis, and the sophisticated Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital, Community Medical Centers operates the Fresno-based Community Regional Medical Center, an academic- affiliated hospital comprised of more than 600 beds, one of the largest and busiest emergency departments in the state and the region’s sole Level I Trauma Center and Burn Center.
Additionally, a new 340,000-square-foot trauma and critical-care building opened in 2007, and the 52-bed Neuroscience Center of Excellence, a 50-bed cardiovascular unit and a 65-bed Level III neonatal ICU were added.
Saint Agnes Medical Center is a 436-bed hospital in Fresno, equipped with a medical staff of more than 760 doctors, a support staff of nearly 3,000 employees and well over 1,000 dedicated volunteers. Among some of the medical center’s recent highlights are its recognition as a Mentor Hospital for Acute Myocardial Infarction by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in 2008; winner of the Fresno Bee’s Central Valley People’s Choice Award for Best Hospital for the fourth year in a row; a Consumer Choice Award winner by the National Research Corporation 12 consecutive years; and winner of the HealthGrades five-star rating in Bariatric Surgery in 2008-2009, the only hospital in the area to earn this distinction.
