SAINT AGNES MEDICAL CENTER
Cheryl Harless,
DNP, RN
Chief Nursing Officer
Founded by the Sisters of the Holy Cross in 1929, Saint Agnes Medical Center has provided the highest quality and most compassionate care for Central Valley residents for more than nine decades. Health care has changed over the years, but our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of our growing population, and to healing the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—still inspires everything we do.
“Excellent care. Extraordinary experience.”

WHAT MOTIVATES ME IN MY PROFESSION
Nurses make a difference in the lives of our patients and families every day through human connection and compassionate care. As a nurse leader, I direct patient care across the medical center, ensuring an extraordinary patient experience, creating an empowering work environment, and mentoring our clinical team as they grow their abilities.
HOW SAINT AGNES’ HEALING MISSION INFLUENCES THE WAY I LEAD
Our healing mission anchors us as a compassionate and transforming presence in the Central Valley. Our sacred work requires a leadership style grounded in reverence and service.
HOW SAINT AGNES IS IMPROVING PATIENT EXPERIENCE
While our patient experience survey scores have improved dramatically in the last two years, what is most important is the feedback we receive directly from patients and their families. Patients describe our team as clear communicators, responsive, and empathetic.
WHAT SETS SAINT AGNES APART
We seek to provide a comprehensive continuum of care that exceeds expectations. Our skilled team of providers, clinicians, and colleagues practices a patient-centered approach that prioritizes compassion, communication, and an extraordinary patient experience.
