We are a clinical leader in central California for cardiovascular surgery, bariatric surgery, minimally-invasive surgery and intensive care – and we’re a favorite with patients too.

We held “best in the region” honors for cardiac services for two years and have earned a 5-star rating in carotid surgery for three years (2009-2011) from HealthGrades^®, a leading independent heath care ratings organization.

Our bariatric surgery program also earned HealthGrades' 5-star rating, a Bariatric Excellence Award™  three years in a row (2009/2010-2011), putting us in the top five of all California hospitals.

And in 2011, our cardiovascular intensive care nurses were among  only 15 hospital staffs in the nation to earn the Beacon Award of Excellence from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses.

According to HealthGrades and patients alike, we also rate among the top California hospitals when it comes to providing a healing environment. More than 90% of patients surveyed indicated they “definitely would” recommend us to family and friends and HealthGrades ranks us in the top 5% nationally – recognizing our hotel-like environment and service with the Outstanding Patient Experience Award – four years in a row. That's a distinction that only five California hospitals have ever achieved.
