(Ventura, California) To accommodate the pending construction of the new Community Memorial Hospital building, which is expected to begin this fall, the following CMH department offices are moving to a new location.

CMH departments that are affected by the move are the Business Office; Centers for Family Health Billing and Coding; Accounting; Accounts Payable; Payroll; and Information Systems. They will be relocating to 5855 Olivas Park Drive in Ventura. All existing phone numbers will remain the same.

The relocation begins on May 24 and will affect 116 Community Memorial Health System employees. The new facility will have a conference room with a Web cam for multi-person conferences. Some departments will have Web cams on their personal computers to facilitate one-on-one meetings. The goal of the new technology, according to CMHS Marketing Manager Mary McCormick, is to minimize the need for employees at the new facility to leave their offices to attend meetings at the main hospital.

Community Memorial Hospital is a member of Community Memorial Health System, a not-for-profit health system, which is comprised of Community Memorial Hospital, Ojai Valley Community Hospital, and nine family-practice health centers entitled Centers for Family Health. The health system is located in Ventura County, California.
