Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital is the first in the region to be home to some leading-edge technology — a 256-slice CT (computerized tomography) scanner — hauled in by a special lift. The CT scanner captures sharp, 3-D images of the heart between beats.

The Weight-Loss Surgery Center at Clovis Community offers FREE informational seminars for anyone interested in weight-loss surgery. By attending a seminar, you can learn more about our program, available surgery options and have your questions answered by surgeons who specialize in bariatric (weight-loss) surgery.

At our three major hospitals within the Community Medical Centers family, we offer a full range of surgical care – from cardiac and orthopedic surgery to neurological and cosmetic surgery. Our teams of highly trained doctors, nurses and medical professionals use the latest in surgical technology to increase the speed of patient recovery and reduce pain.

If you’re struggling with obesity, then you know how challenging life can be. Simple everyday tasks like tying your shoes or playing with your children or grandchildren can be difficult, if not downright impossible. Social situations like going to the movies or riding in an airplane can be uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing experiences.

We’re proud to offer two of the top weight-loss surgery programs in all of California. Clovis Community Medical Center and Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital are each recognized for excellence by accrediting agencies and insurance companies for their patient outcomes. Our expert doctors perform Roux-en-Y, gastric bypass and lap band procedures as well as bariatric revision surgery and other bariatric procedures.

Accolades and Distinctions that set us apart

Newspaper headlines this past week tout the benefits of using bariatric surgery to cure Type 2 diabetes -- even in people who are not morbidly obese. That’s old news to Drs. Kelvin Higa and Keith Boone, bariatric surgeons at Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital, who’ve seen these results again and again in their patients and have been studying the effect for several years.
