Central Valley General Hospital

Central Valley General Hospital enjoys a long, rich history of caring for Hanford with personal attention and expert care.

The hospital owes its beginnings to Portuguese Dominican nuns, who had the Sacred Heart Hospital built in 1915 with 20 beds and expanded it in 1959. Adventist Health purchased the 49-bed hospital, which by then was called Central Valley General Hospital, in 1998.

The top floor of the three-story hospital features Women's Services with comfortable, homestyle rooms for labor and delivery. The unit also provides a neonatal intensive care unit staffed by Children's Hospital Central California for added care.

Medical and Surgical rooms are on the second floor, where women's procedures and other types of inpatient and outpatient surgeries are performed.

The hospital also offers emergency, radiology, laboratory and dining services on its main floor.

Another major service at Central Valley General Hospital is Community Care, which offers a clinic on the Garden Level as well as a clinic on the First Floor that is open 8 a.m. to midnight seven days a week. The clinic network also has three other services on the campus: a dental clinic, Healthy Beginnings prenatal care and Hanford Family Practice Residency program.

Central Valley General Hospital is part of Adventist Health, a not-for-profit, faith-based health care system operating in California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington. Founded on the Seventh-day Adventist heritage of Christian health care, Adventist Health comprises 17 hospitals with more than 2,600 beds, approximately 18,600 employees, numerous clinics and outpatient facilities, the largest system of rural health clinics in California with additional sites in Oregon and Washington, 14 home care agencies and four joint-venture retirement centers.
