Adventist Medical Center in Reedley, CA, became the sixth Adventist Health Hospital to contract CEP America to provide management and staffing services for its emergency department. CEP’s proprietary Rapid Medical Evaluation program has brought the average wait time down to 20 minutes below the national average.

“Based on CEP America’s continued success with our fellow Adventist Health hospitals, we knew they were the right choice for us,” says Denyse Bales-Chubb, administrator of Adventist Medical Center. “By partnering with CEP America, we can continue to enhance the quality of care to our emergency department visitors.” The center in Reedley services around 14,000 patients a year in its emergency department.
