About Doctors Hospital of Manteca

Our History

Doctors Hospital of Manteca was born in 1962, after local physicians realized their patients were leaving the community in search of their healthcare needs. When it opened its doors, the hospital had just seven doctors and 41 employees.

Today, Doctors Hospital of Manteca is the largest private employer in the community with nearly 500 employees and a staff of more than 180 physicians. Each year, more than 35,000 patients receive some of the most advanced medical care and technology available. But even though the hospital is larger, it has not lost sight of its original mission of providing the best possible care to the community of Manteca.

Doctors Hospital of Manteca is fully accredited by The Joint Commission, the nation’s largest hospital accreditation agency. It also continues to rank highly for quality care.
