MemorialCare

What MemorialCare does

MemorialCare is a nonprofit integrated health system headquartered in Fountain Valley, California, serving Orange and Los Angeles Counties through more than 200 care locations. Its care delivery platform comprises four hospitals (Long Beach Medical Center, Miller Children's & Women's Hospital in Long Beach, Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, and Saddleback Medical Center in Laguna Hills), two affiliated medical groups (MemorialCare Medical Group and MemorialCare Independent Physicians), Select Health Plan, and an outpatient network including urgent care, imaging, breast, surgical, physical therapy, and dialysis centers. Annual operating scale includes 1.9 million+ patient visits, 26,700 surgeries, 194,000+ emergency room visits, and 8,400 newborn deliveries across 300+ primary care providers and 2,000+ specialists, supported by 10,000+ employees and over 300 active research projects.

The technology stack is anchored on Epic electronic health records and the myChart patient portal across all facilities and affiliated providers, with specialized integrations for shared records in the PDS Health medical-dental joint venture. AI capabilities are deployed primarily through third-party vendors: Cleerly for AI-powered coronary plaque analysis (computer vision on cardiac CT angiography), Abridge for ambient clinical NLP documentation (audio-to-text), and a proprietary Mila chatbot for patient navigation. Additional surgical technology includes Stryker Mako and ExactechGPS/ExcelsiusGPS robotic systems for orthopedic and spine procedures. Medtronic's Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system was added to the cardiovascular intervention portfolio in January 2026.

Revenue is generated through a mix of hospital and clinical services (volume-based reimbursement from Medicare, Medi-Cal, and commercial insurers), medical group physician services, Select Health Plan premiums (HMO, PPO, EPO, Direct-to-Employer), and philanthropy through four hospital foundations. Customer segments include individual patients and families as the primary segment served through hospitals and outpatient centers, plus employers and benefits brokers reached through Select Health Plan, value-based tailored network products, and B2B wellness solutions. Digital distribution channels include 24/7 Virtual Urgent Care, 24/7 QuickCare Visit, the myChart portal, and the Mila chatbot, supplementing traditional field-direct hospital and medical group channels.
