The Heart & Soul of Our Health System

One in 40 people in Fresno County wears a Community Health System ID badge — as an employee, volunteer, student, contract worker or affiliated medical provider such as a dentist, doctor or paramedic. It takes the strength of all of us working together to better the lives of all those we serve. Community is committed to growing and managing a workforce that meets the Valley’s expanding health needs, including creating opportunities to encourage those with special expertise to relocate or stay here to provide more people with access to care close to home.
