Director Emergency Services

We got our start 128 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.  

Commitment to diversity and inclusion is a cornerstone of our culture at Community. All are welcome as valued members of our community.  

We know that our ability to provide the highest level of care begins with taking care of our incredible teams. Want to learn more? Click here.

Located at Community Regional — home to the only Level I Trauma Center and comprehensive burn center between Los Angeles and Sacramento — our ED is California’s third busiest. This high-acuity, 156-bed unit sees over 350 patients daily and is staffed by more than 500 clinical and support team members. As part of the hospital’s safety-net mission, the ED serves a five-county area with a wide range of urgent and complex care needs. As a UCSF academic-affiliated facility, Community Regional also offers opportunities to collaborate on cutting-edge care models and clinical education. In this role, you’ll work alongside three dedicated managers and a highly engaged physician team to lead one of the most critical departments within the region’s largest healthcare system.
