My family and I have called Fresno ‘home’ for nearly 40 years. My parents began serving this community in 1985, caring for generations of Valley families along the way. And it is an incredible honor to continue their legacy. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't see former patients and their families out at the grocery store, at the movies, or playing in the park. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing each child living life to the fullest.

I'm also incredibly proud of our commitment to downtown Fresno over the years. From day one, we've set the highest possible standards in caring for all children who call downtown home. And with the recent growth and investments made by Community Healthy System, there's never been a more exciting time here.

However, I am equally excited about expanding the reach of our care. I believe everyone deserves access to the same level of care, and Community takes this responsibility to heart — recently opening several new pediatric offices throughout the area.

We are all connected. And I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of the legacy that Community is building across the Valley.
