Community Provider Network focuses on supporting physicians so they can focus on caring for patients. This division of Community Health System provides an extensive continuum of healthcare services, optimizing resources for our provider partners and most importantly the patients we serve. Community Provider Network includes our medical foundation Community Health Partners, now more than 450 providers strong, caring for Valley families at every life stage.

Community’s long-standing partnership with UCSF Fresno has created a pipeline for training medical residents and fellows to help ensure high-quality, affordable care is available to our underserved populations. While the federal government pays a portion of graduate medical education (GME) costs through Medicare and Medicaid payments, it only pays for a limited number of residency positions, falling 80% short of the current UCSF Fresno training costs.

Agreements with the California Health Sciences University (CHSU), a private institution offering doctoral degrees through its College of Osteopathic Medicine and College of Pharmacy, allow CHSU’s medical and pharmacy students to rotate through our facilities as part of their training. Nearly 250 students have graduated from CHSU’s current, 4-year Doctor of Pharmacy program, but it will be discontinued after graduation of the 2024 class.
