Community Regional Medical Center (CRMC) is a 685-bed regional hospital and trauma center in Fresno, California.[1] It hosts the Medical Education program of UCSF Fresno,[2] part of a leading medical school in the United States.[3]

CRMC is owned by Community Medical Centers, a private not-for-profit health system with four hospitals as well as long-term care and other facilities.[4] It began in 1897 with the Burnett Sanitarium, which was sold to the nonprofit corporation Fresno Community Hospital in 1945.[5]

Community Regional Medical Center is one of 15 level I trauma centers in California.[6][7] In 2018, it had the eighth-most Medicare inpatient discharges in California, of 808 total.[8]

In 2020, its neurosurgical trauma services were reinstated after a brief suspension of services.[9][10]
