Central Valley General Hospital is a rural 49-bed hospital in Hanford, California, specializing in obstetrical care. It features a women's services unit and an intensive care neonatal nursery. It also offers extensive Community Care clinic services serving communities in Kings, Tulare and southern Fresno counties.[1] Central Valley General Hospital is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist hospital system. Central Valley General Hospital is a part of a division of Adventist Health known as the "Adventist Health/Central Valley Network," consisting of Central Valley General Hospital, Adventist Medical Center - Hanford, Selma Community Hospital, and over 20 Adventist Health/Community Care clinics throughout a 2,500-square-mile (6,500 km2) region in the Central Valley.

History

In 1998, Adventist Health’s growth in the San Joaquin Valley surged with the purchase of Central Valley General Hospital, formerly called Sacred Heart Hospital, in Hanford. A year later, Adventist Health purchased Selma Community Hospital, about 15 miles north of Hanford. Central Valley General Hospital and Selma Community Hospital also began opening rural health clinics to improve rural patients’ access to health care in the region.[2]

In 2005, the hospital licenses of Hanford Community and Selma Community were combined, and Central Valley General Hospital took over the Selma Community clinics to consolidate operations among the three hospitals in an effort to improve access, quality and strength.[2]

The local network now offers seventeen Adventist Health/Community Care clinic sites in Kings County, southern Fresno County and northern Tulare County as well as physical therapy centers, a Sleep Apnea Center and many other services in the 2,500-square-mile (6,500 km2) region.[2]
