For over a century, Emanuel Medical Center has served as the heartbeat of healthcare in Turlock, California. Since opening our doors in 1917, we’ve remained deeply committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care to our community.

  • Monitor quality metrics, ensure accurate reporting, and guide teams toward achieving measurable goals.
  • Support and educate staff and leaders on best practices in quality and safety.
  • Be a visible champion of our mission to continuously improve care delivery and patient satisfaction.

This is a leadership opportunity where your work directly influences not only outcomes, but the experience our patients and staff have every day.
