The North Central valley is ideally positioned to offer the best of all worlds. Residents of the area’s cities and tranquil rural communities enjoy access to a network of state-of-the-art healthcare services and facilities. The region’s major hospitals provide more than 2,000 beds including nearly 1,000 acute-care beds. Many of these institutions have recently completed or plan upgrades and expansions to meet the needs of a growing population. Throughout the area, specialized and routine-care facilities combine with skilled professionals in private practice to meet nearly every need close to home. Educational resources are equally well represented in the region, where important institutions of higher education complement the network of public and private schools from preschool through 12th grade.
