Santa Cruz is the quintessential beach town. Here,
you enjoy life among the most beautiful coastal
beaches and redwood forests of California. It was
here that Hawaiian royalty first introduced
surfing to the mainland and locals and visitors
alike have been riding the waves ever since. Not
far from the surf break, music and laughter fill
the air at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the
West Coasts last remaining seaside amusement
park. A few blocks from the beach is Santa Cruzs
newly renovated downtown. The pedestrian-friendly,
tree-lined streets are filled with vibrant shops
and galleries, outdoor bistros and sidewalk
musicians all in keeping with Surf Citys offbeat
personality. At Dominican Hospital, you can truly
change people s lives while living yours with a
strong sense of meaning and finding that much
needed balance you deserve.
The Dignity Health System provides quality,
compassionate health care at more than 40
hospitals and care centers that are serving
communities across California, Arizona and Nevada
every minute of every day. And while not everyone
may live near a major medical facility, Dignity
Health is making health care more accessible by
bringing resources closer to where people live and
work.
