Awards in Excellence

Our team has been recognized for its expertise and care by a number of highly respected organizations.


Beacon Gold Award of Excellence

Community Regional Medical Center is one of just seven neuroscience intensive care units in the United States — and the only one in California — to earn a Beacon Gold Award of Excellence by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN). 


This distinction is given to critical care nursing teams that demonstrate top patient outcomes, strong collaboration with other units, a healthy work environment and best-in-class nursing practices. It means you can expect a program that puts you and your family first. 


Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center

Community Regional is also recognized by The Joint Commission as an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center — the only hospital in Fresno to be recognized for this advanced level of stroke care, and the only Comprehensive Stroke Center in the five county region (Fresno, Madera, Merced, Kings and Tulare counties).

A Comprehensive Stroke Center cares for all types of patients, treating the most complex stroke cases, including bleeding (or hemorrhagic) strokes and ischemic strokes, as well as offering 24/7 access to a team of on-site neurosurgical experts. 


Primary Stroke Center

Clovis Community Medical Center is recognized by The Joint Commission as a Primary Stroke Center — one of six centers in the Central Valley, and one of just three in the Fresno area.   


A Primary Stroke Center treats most cases of ischemic stroke (a type of stroke where there’s blood vessel blockage) and provides access to a skilled team of neurosurgery experts within two hours of arrival.
