VISALIA, Calif., June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- To better
reflect the breadth of services it offers to elevate the health and
well-being of the Central Valley, the largest district hospital in
the state and the only California
affiliate of the Cleveland Clinic Heart, Vascular and Thoracic
Institute, has completed an extensive rebranding initiative.
The largest acute care hospital and the only trauma center
between Bakersfield and
Fresno, is now Kaweah Health
following a rebranding initiative that includes a new name, a new
logo, and an updated website.
"It's the perfect time to reinvent, redefine, modernize, and
distinguish ourselves as more than a hospital or a medical center,"
said Gary Herbst, Kaweah Health's
Chief Executive Officer. "Our new name reflects our changing role
from being a healer of sickness and injury to a champion of health
and wellness."
In 60 years, Kaweah Health has grown from its beginnings as a
68-bed community hospital to a healthcare system with nine campuses
across Tulare and Kings Counties anchored by a 435-bed acute
medical center in Visalia. It is
the largest district hospital in California with a combined 613 licensed
inpatient beds and employs more than 5,000 team members who work
beside more than 600 active Medical Staff members. Kaweah Health
offers cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, trauma,
invasive, non-invasive and interventional cardiology, mental
health, cancer care, and more.
"We have become a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, integrated
health system," said Herbst, noting Kaweah Health has been named
one of the best 250 hospitals in the nation by Healthgrades for
three consecutive years and one of the country's top 50 cardiac
surgery programs for four consecutive years.
Kaweah Health also partners with Valley Children's Hospital and
the University of Southern California
to help raise the level of care available to children and adults.
Kaweah Health is a fully-accredited teaching hospital with close to
130 residents training in six residency programs.
"We want to remember this as the year we rose like a 'phoenix
from the ashes'—stronger, smarter, and more powerful," Herbst said.
"We are modernizing our brand to show that we are innovative,
confident, compassionate, and progressive – and as a symbol of who
we are today, Kaweah Delta has evolved to become Kaweah
Health."
Kaweah Health is a publicly-owned community healthcare
organization located in Visalia,
California providing comprehensive health services. For more
