Valley doctors focus of first “Heroes” show

Community Medical Centers is the location for filming the new nationally syndicated television series “Healthcare Heroes.” The first episode airs at 5 p.m. Sunday on KFSN (Channel 30.1).

Each episode will feature Community’s doctors, staff and services. The opening episode spotlights two doctors at Community Regional Medical Center in downtown Fresno: Dr. Don Myers removes a brain tumor and Dr. Stephen Elliott cares for a newborn in the neonatal intensive-care unit.

Crews will film in Fresno — and at Clovis Community Medical Center and Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital — throughout the next year.

The series will be broadcast in 78% of TV markets nationally, which includes nine of the 10 largest markets in the United States.

The reality show is produced by Southern California-based InteReality Media.
