Central to all that California has to offer, the Central California Network of Adventist Health operates as the most integrated network of care across the full healthcare continuum in our region. Our eight hospitals and 131 clinics provide extraordinary care to 65,000 lives in 33 unique communities. This deep responsibility drives the over 7,000 team members to live God’s love in all that we do as we care for the communities in which we serve.
Our hospitals include Adventist Health Bakersfield, Adventist Health Delano, Adventist Health Hanford, Adventist Health Reedley, Adventist Health Selma, Adventist Health Specialty Bakersfield, Adventist Health Tehachapi, and Adventist Health Tulare. With 450 providers, 33 specialties and over 1,000 clinic based team members, we serve over 1.1 million patient visits each year. We operate the busiest cancer center in Adventist Health and perform more open-heart surgeries at Adventist Health Bakersfield than in any hospital in our system.
Our territory offers affordable housing on the West Coast, sunny California weather, and high-quality education. We are close to all the great things Southern California has to offer, including pro sports, concerts and world-famous amusement parks. We are close to Sequoia National Park and just a few hours from Yosemite National Park. The vineyards of Paso Robles are just over an hour away and the beautiful Pacific Ocean is also inside of two hours. With all the excellent things around us, the best part is we get to enjoy the family-based, community focused lifestyle that larger cities regret losing.
