Who We Are
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.
Our Story
We started out as a small operation in California. In May 1969, we acquired four
hospitals, some additional care facilities and real estate for the future
development of hospitals. Over the years, we've grown tremendously in size,
scope and capability, building a home in new markets over time, and curating
those homes to provide a compassionate environment for those entrusting us with
their care.
We have a rich history at Tenet. There are so many stories of compassionate
care; so many "firsts" in terms of medical innovation; so many examples of
enhancing healthcare delivery and shaping a business that is truly centered
around patients and community need. Tenet and our predecessors have enabled us
to touch many different elements of healthcare and make a difference in the
lives of others.
Our Impact Today
Today, we are leading health system and services platform that continues to
evolve in lockstep with community need. Tenet's operations include three
businesses - our hospitals and physicians, USPI and Conifer Health Solutions.
Our impact spreads far and deep with 65 hospitals and approximately 510
outpatient centers and additional sites of care. We are differentiated by our
top notch medical specialists and service lines that are tailored within each
community we serve. The work Conifer is doing will help provide the foundation
for better health for clients across the country, through the delivery of
healthcare-focused revenue cycle management and value-based care solutions.
Together as an enterprise, we work to save lives and can accept nothing less
than excellence from ourselves in service of our patients and their families,
every day.
Careers at Tenet
At Tenet Healthcare, the heart of what we do centers on caring with compassion,
which ultimately creates a bond between our caregivers and patients. Everyone
contributes to these moments, whether providing care directly or supporting
those who do.
As an organization, we provide employees with resources, tools and support to
serve our patients and customers in the best way possible. We also take care of
one another, helping team members further develop their career pathways and
maximize their potential.
