Community Medical Anesthesia Consultants provides anesthesia coverage across three hospitals in the Community Medical Centers network, the largest healthcare provider in California's Central Valley. The network is a private, not-for-profit system based in Fresno, with roots dating to 1897. It operates four hospitals along with a cancer institute, behavioral health center, and long-term care facilities, and serves as the region's primary referral and safety-net provider.
The system maintains a longstanding academic partnership with the University of California, San Francisco through the UCSF Fresno Medical Education Program. More than 300 residents and fellows train across the network each year, and the affiliated physicians who teach in these programs hold UCSF faculty appointments.

The flagship hospital, located in downtown Fresno, licensed for 685 beds. It is home to the only Level I trauma center and comprehensive burn center between Sacramento and Los Angeles, verified by the American College of Surgeons. Community Regional runs a comprehensive stroke program, the Central California Neuroscience Institute, and the largest Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit in the Valley. Its cardiovascular program performs about 3,600 procedures per year, more than any other hospital in the region, and supports the only cardiology, pulmonary, and interventional cardiac fellowship programs in the area through UCSF Fresno. This site handles trauma and obstetric coverage for the group.
Located on a 140-acre campus in Clovis, with 208 all-private rooms. Clovis Community focuses on women's services and labor and delivery, minimally invasive and robotic surgery, sports medicine, and weight-loss surgery. It houses the Marjorie E. Radin Breast Care Center and a 100,000-square-foot cancer center. This site provides obstetric and general OR coverage for the group.
A specialty hospital in northeast Fresno focused on cardiac, vascular, bariatric, and surgical care. It has earned national recognition for cardiac surgery and spine surgery, and operates a boutique model with a higher staff-to-patient ratio for scheduled and elective procedures. Cardiac cases handled by the group's cardiac fellowship-trained anesthesiologists take place here.
Practicing across these three sites gives an anesthesiologist exposure to a full range of work: high-acuity trauma and obstetrics downtown, high-volume general and robotic surgery in Clovis, and specialized cardiac and surgical cases at the heart hospital. The system's scale and academic ties support a steady, growing case volume, which directly benefits physicians in a production-based practice.
