The Region’s 'Safety Net'
Community serves as the area’s main "safety net" provider, caring for a large share of the uninsured and underinsured in Central California — a diverse region that's considered one of America's most challenging for healthcare. We also provide the only combined Level I Trauma Center and comprehensive burn center between Los Angeles and Sacramento. We’re continually striving to live out our mission to better the lives of those we serve, ensuring the highest level of care is available here, close to home.
