The Future is Bright for Adventist Health Tulare
Jun 6, 2025
Adventist Health Tulare has now been a part of the Adventist Health family for more than six years, and despite difficult times in the past, has remained an integral part of the Tulare community.
The hospital, formerly known as Tulare Regional Medical Center, has been able to expand its services in the last six years, including adding a cardiac catheterization lab and a certified Stroke Center, and has received several awards for quality stroke care and patient safety.
Much of Adventist Health Tulare’s success has been because of long-time employees like Lionel Machado, Manager of Respiratory Care. Having been an employee for 34 years, he has been a part of many of the challenges and victories that the hospital has faced over the years.
