Take Your Expertise to New Heights
We got our start 125 years ago as a boarding house and medical facility for people traveling in Central California. If people then could see us now... Today, Community Health System is the region’s largest healthcare provider and includes three divisions: Community Medical Centers hospitals, Community Care Health and Community Provider Network. These three pillars of healthcare – hospitals, health insurance and physicians – work best when they work together.
Whether you have years of nursing experience or you just passed your boards, we have a home for you. From the rush of Level 1 trauma to the tight-knit teamwork of the region’s leading bariatric surgery program, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to build the nursing career you’ve always wanted.
Our teaching facility associated with UCSF, professional certification reimbursement, and wide range of opportunities beyond bedside care (leadership, quality/risk, educators) open doors to new possibilities and give you the ability to chart your own path.
Whether it's helping patients walk again after trauma, or regain speech after a stroke, this team plays a critical role in each recovery journey. With deep clinical knowledge and creative problem-solving, they turn complex challenges into real progress backed by evidence-based practices.
Across our hospital and outpatient rehab settings — including a nationally ranked inpatient rehab facility and the region’s only Level I Trauma Center — our teams treat a wide range of needs, helping you discover your niche and expand your skills.
