Patient Care Tech (PCT) - Cardiac
About Us
We are a community built on care. Our caregivers and supporting staff extend compassion to those in need, helping to improve the health and well-being of those we serve, and provide comfort and healing. Your community is our community.
We started out as a small operation in California. In May 1969, we acquired four hospitals and additional care facilities. Over the years, we've grown tremendously in size, scope, and capability, building a home in new markets and curating those homes to provide a compassionate environment for those entrusting us with their care.
Today, we are a leading health system and services platform that continues to evolve with community need. Tenet's operations include three businesses—our hospitals and physicians, USPI, and Conifer Health Solutions. Our impact spreads across 65 hospitals and approximately 510 outpatient centers. We are differentiated by our top-notch medical specialists and service lines tailored to each community we serve.
