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.
