Community Memorial Healthcare

What Community Memorial Healthcare does

Community Memorial Healthcare is a non-profit community health system founded in 1902 and headquartered in Ventura, California. It operates a vertically integrated care delivery network comprising two acute care hospitals (Ventura and Ojai), more than 20 outpatient health centers spanning Camarillo, Santa Paula, Fillmore, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, and surrounding communities, a Continuing Care Center for skilled nursing and rehabilitation, a Wellness & Fitness Center, and a Cancer Center with multidisciplinary tumor board and infusion services. Clinical technology anchors include the da Vinci 5 (with a fleet of three da Vinci systems), ROSA robotic total joint platform, and Globus ExcelsiusGPS spine robot, alongside DNV Primary Stroke Center certification, Blue Distinction Center+ for joint replacement, and Joint Commission on Cancer accreditation.

The system serves the general population of Ventura County across the full acuity spectrum — emergency, inpatient, surgical, primary, specialty, oncology, stroke, orthopedic, women’s health, behavioral health, and post-acute. Revenue is generated primarily through insurance reimbursement from Medicare, Medi-Cal/Gold Coast Health Plan, and commercial payers (Anthem, Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare), supplemented by self-pay Wellness & Fitness Center services such as personal training, health coaching, and Reiki. Academic medicine is delivered through ACGME-accredited Graduate Medical Education residency programs in five specialties, which double as a physician recruitment and retention pipeline. Distribution is largely direct through hospital and health center access points, with telehealth video visits and a mobile Outreach Lab program serving skilled nursing and assisted living facilities extending reach beyond physical sites.

Customer acquisition is community-led, anchored by the mycmh.org website, content marketing, patient testimonials, and partnerships with organizations such as Gold Coast Health Plan, Ventura Family YMCA, and Conejo Health. Recent strategic emphasis has been on expanding surgical robotics, scaling oncology capacity, and deepening Medi-Cal population health programs through the RISE Grant initiative, positioning the system as the dominant regional incumbent in west Ventura County.
