I think Sante’s and CMC’s involvement with Tulare Regional would be great. I have gone to Sante physicians for years and just this past year have enrolled in their HMO plan. On top of that, I just recently had a procedure at Clovis Community and had a great experience from beginning to end. I’ve had nothing but success with both organizations and am impressed with their stability and growth. Their involvement could only help TRMC in my opinion.

Truth16, you are so correct. Ask the right questions about quality standards, HEDIS scores, re admission rates, c-section rates, prescribing practices on narcotics, immunization rates, care and practice for chronic disease, patient satisfaction scores etc.. these are fundamentals that were not in place with the previous physicians who are no longer at TRMC. If you have a chance to re-start, don’t go backwards.

As a cancer survivor I have seen more Drs than I can count. I purposely chose Sante Drs because of the excellent reputation they have in the valley. I received the best treatment and they are the reason I am still here today. I have absolutely no regrets and would highly recommend Sante. I hope that Tulare gets the opportunity to experience the wonderful care and service they provide.

Who will feel threatened by Sante are physicians that don’t want competition. We deserve better than that. Let Tulare thrive.

I have been reading this thread this afternoon and really felt good about my job when I saw Sante patients writing in comments about their positive experiences. I am a Sante employee and would like to comment about the post from Tulare. As a Sante employee I can tell you that Sante treats its employees very well. I have been working for Sante for 20 years and wouldn’t look anywhere else. We are treated like family members. Even though we have grown, the family environment has not changed. I’ve been offered other jobs with competitors and would never leave the environment we have here. I am so happy to hear the positive comments from our patients. You are why we do what we do!! Thank you!!

Sante and Community Medical Centers are great for Fresno and Tulare would be lucky to have them. 6 years ago my wife was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. With their help she is now cancer free.

Looking at the complaints against Sante it seems to be more with how they treat their employees rather than the quality of care they give.

My wife has had multiple spinal related issues and the doctors offices and the care that she has received has been nothing but spectacular. The offices have been staffed by Sante for years with no problems. I feel that Sante’s long reputation and service speak for itself.
If TRMC needs help, then let someone with experience and know how do the job better.

I too am confused with the negativity about Sante. I agree with the previous post from Kris. My family and I have been in the Sante system since 1995. We have received nothing but the best care from our primary doctors and the specialists we have seen.
I received help just last week from Sante’s customer service department. They were incredibly helpful. When I called the main number, A real live person actually answered the phone and was extremely pleasant. I highly recommend Sante!!

I was born in TDH and now live in Fresno. I’d love to see the hospital succeed. Sante and Community have excellent reputations in Fresno. If they can help in Tulare then God bless them.
