It seems a lot of people are asking the question, “Who am I?” these days. Sure, we all ask that during major life-changing events, but businesses and cities can do the same thing, right?

Take Fresno for example. Many feel the city is in the midst of an identity crisis. If you’re like me, you feel Fresno really gets a bad rap in national polls, is the brunt of late night talk show host jokes and we aren’t happy with locals who refuse to believe they have it pretty nice here.

There are those working to help Fresno change its image. I wish them luck and I think we can all help by focusing on all of the positives in this fine city. One of them is Community Medical Centers. Here at Community we are always interested in checking the pulse of those who live here to find out what they think of us.

I came to work here because I felt a calling to the mission: To improve the health status of the community and to promote medical education. After decades in the news business I loved the fact that my writing and video skills could now be used to educate others and raise funds to help bring the best-of-the-best here to Fresno. It was also reassuring to know that everyone from my elderly relatives to a great-niece or nephew would have access to amazing health care and not be turned away. There are roughly 6,000 other employees who likely feel like I do.

So, I thought this would be a good time to hear from you. What makes you proud of Community Medical Centers? I have a couple of questions below I’d love for you to complete for me. Just go to the “Leave a Comment” box below to send in your thoughts on any or all of these questions.

If I had to describe in one or two words what Community Medical Centers means to me they would be:

My favorite thing about Community Medical Centers is:

As a former patient or family member of a patient, I feel Community Medical Centers:

We may not have the “catchiest” name in the world, but I believe Community has the best employees, compassionate physicians and staff and care second-to-none in the region. This proud Fresnan looks forward to hearing from you and thanks in advance for your thoughts.
