Healthcare

Residents and visitors of Fresno can take comfort in knowing that they have access to numerous medical facilities with exceptional reputations. Quality doctors, surgeons, assistants, nurses and all other support staff work together using the most advanced equipment to bring the best possible services to the patients they serve.

Today, Community Regional Medical Center is the flagship of Community Medical Centers’ three acute-care facilities, with 626 licensed beds and an average of 386 inpatients a day. Community Regional is home to central California’s only burn and Level 1 trauma center. The Level 1 designation is the highest level of distinction for trauma care. No other hospital from Los Angeles to Sacramento can provide this level of care. This facility also has a full-service, 56,000-square-foot emergency department, state-of-the-art radiology and cardiology departments, a dedicated neuroscience wing, inpatient and outpatient surgery, dialysis, Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit, rehabilitation and cancer treatments. Community Regional was the first Valley hospital to offer a revolutionary, minimally invasive heart surgery as well as breakthrough technology in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

The Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital opened in 2003, as the Fresno Heart Hospital, solely providing cardiovascular surgery and procedures. However, in early 2006, services at the north Fresno hospital were expanded to include bariatric and general surgery. Consistent with its mission to provide exceptional care, the hospital expanded to include surgery performed using minimally invasive techniques. The state-of-the-art facility provides advanced technology and offers all-private patient rooms. Two new operating suites were added in 2008 as part of an $8.3 million expansion project at Fresno Heart & Surgical as well as a 144-seat education center. The new operating rooms allow the hospital known for its hotel-like atmosphere and customer service to perform up to 2,400 more surgeries a year, doubling its previous numbers.

Clovis Community Medical Center is often Valley residents’ first choice for women’s services, advanced surgeries and comprehensive care. In 2008 it began Phase 1 of a two-part project that includes a $20 million, 22,500-square-foot expansion for the outpatient care center. The first floor includes expansion of the Marjorie E. Radin Breast Care Center and a dedicated four-room endoscopy suite with pre-operative, post-operative, recovery and exam rooms. The second floor features four new operating rooms including pre-operative, post-operative and recovery areas, as well as the most advanced in-vitro fertilization center between Los Angeles and San Francisco. New parking areas have been added for patients’ convenience.

Phase 2 future expansion plans include a new five-story bed tower featuring all-private rooms, which will double the number of inpatient beds and expand the number of valuable ICU rooms, while maintaining the warm, comfortable environment of the current hospital. The Emergency Department expansion calls for nearly doubling the number of treatment rooms to 38. Plans include 12 new state-of-the-art, in-patient surgical suites, doubling the total number of operating rooms to 22. Our littlest patients and their moms will have a new special care nursery in the Women’s and Infant’s Pavilion. This eight-bed unit will serve babies needing more specialized care. An array of other women’s services and surgeries in addition to birthing will be offered–all in accommodations suited for women and their families. A new three-story parking structure will be built near the main entrance.

Kaiser Permanente Fresno Medical Center, located at 7300 N. Fresno St., offers a comprehensive range of services, including emergency, urgent, inpatient and outpatient care. Qualified medical professionals are staffed in all departments, including birthing, cardiology, neurology, pathology and many more, which are committed to all phases of community health, from prevention and education to treatment.

Saint Agnes Medical Center’s commitment to meeting Central California’s healthcare needs dates back to 1929, when it first opened its doors in Fresno. Nearly 80 years later, the 436-bed hospital enjoys a strong reputation for its delivery of high quality, compassionate care and is highly respected for its clinical and service excellence. From emergency, diagnostic, surgical and rehabilitative services to state-of-the-art cardiac, cancer, neuro and orthopedic care, Saint Agnes combines the most advanced equipment and technology with the expertise of top-ranked physicians and staff to meet the Valley’s growing and diverse healthcare needs.

Numerous other hospitals, clinics, and healthcare centers throughout Fresno and the surrounding area offer general and specialized care on an ongoing or as-needed basis such as outpatient surgeries, women’s health, cancer centers and children’s care.

Women’s healthcare needs are attended to by a host of facilities—including the St. Agnes Medical Center’s Breast Center, the Fresno Breast Center and numerous medical imaging centers throughout the city and county.

The Fresno Surgical Hospital (created for healthy, elective surgery patients) is a fully Joint Commission accredited hospital developed as an alternative to the traditional hospital setting. The facility seamlessly blends the necessary surgical equipment with the amenities of a first-class hotel to create a unique and relaxing atmosphere. The facilities staff performs more than 7,000 procedures each year, running the gamut from mastectomies and hernia repair to orthopedic surgeries, total joint replacement and plastic surgery.

Children's Hospital Central California started over 50 years ago as the humble vision of five women and has grown into one of the 10 largest children's hospitals of its type in the nation. Today, Children's Hospital is a 338-bed pediatric medical center on a 50-acre campus just north of the City of Fresno.

The mission of Children's Hospital is to provide high-quality, comprehensive health care services to the children of Central California regardless of their ability to pay. Generous donations to the hospital help Children's Hospital fulfill its mission and make sure that children have access to excellent healthcare.

In addition to the many healthcare centers and clinics, there are hundreds of medical and dental specialists who have offices conveniently located throughout the city. There are also numerous assisted living facilities and retirement communities that provide residents with the comforts of home while providing medical attention for those who need additional care.
