UCR Health

What UCR Health does

UCR Health is the clinical enterprise of the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine, operating as a multi-site academic medical practice that delivers outpatient care to the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The organization runs four clinic locations (Riverside South, Riverside Downtown Primary Care, Riverside Downtown Specialty Care, and La Quinta in the Coachella Valley) and offers primary care, specialty care, women's health (including obstetrics, maternal fetal medicine, and gynecologic oncology), pediatrics, behavioral health and psychiatry, and select sub-specialties such as neurology and headache medicine. Care is delivered through in-person visits and telehealth, supported by a MyChart patient portal for scheduling, records access, and provider messaging, with clinical trials available to eligible patients.

The underlying technology stack is conventional healthcare IT: an electronic medical record system integrated with MyChart, telehealth virtual-visit infrastructure present at every clinic, and a multi-language website interface supporting ten languages. No proprietary AI, custom models, or developer-facing APIs are disclosed. Operationally, the practice is governed by The Regents of the University of California and led by CEO Donald Larsen, MD (M.D., M.B.A., M.H.A., F.A.C.H.E.) and CMO Andres Gonzalez, MD, with the executive team combining clinical and healthcare-administration credentials typical of academic medical leadership.

UCR Health generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service billing to insurance carriers (Medicare, Medi-Cal, TriCare/TriWest, and commercial PPO/HMO plans), supplemented by institutional funding as part of the UC public university system. The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer, with patient acquisition supported by community education events and webinars, social media across Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, and provider-to-provider referrals. As a public-university entity rather than a venture-backed company, UCR Health is not financially disclosed and reinvests into its mission of expanding healthcare access in California's underserved Inland Empire communities.

Broad incumbents

• UCSF Health: UCSF Health is the largest UC-system academic medical center. It overlaps with UCR Health in clinical delivery, academic medical education, and research integration, but serves Northern California and operates at a significantly larger scale across many more specialty service lines.
• UCLA Health: UCLA Health is a much larger UC-system academic medical center headquartered in Los Angeles. It operates a broad multi-specialty portfolio that overlaps with UCR Health's service mix but at substantially greater scale, with established tertiary and quaternary referral lines.
• UC San Diego Health: UC San Diego Health is a UC-system academic medical center in Southern California. It shares UCR Health's AMC operating model and integration with a UC medical school, but is a larger, more research-intensive institution with broader specialty depth.

Regional players

• Riverside Community Hospital: Riverside Community Hospital, an HCA-affiliated acute care hospital in Riverside, is the dominant community-hospital competitor in UCR Health's home market. It offers overlapping primary and specialty care services to the same Inland Empire patient population.
• Eisenhower Health: Eisenhower Health is a regional health system anchored in Rancho Mirage, serving the Coachella Valley — the same secondary market where UCR Health operates its La Quinta pediatric clinic. Both organizations compete for the same Coachella Valley patient base across primary and specialty care.

Direct peers

• UC Davis Health: UC Davis Health is a University of California academic medical center that, like UCR Health, was established to serve an inland/underserved California region. The two share UC-system governance, AMC operating model, and a similar mix of community-facing primary care alongside tertiary specialty services.
• UC Irvine Health: UCI Health is a University of California academic medical center operating in Southern California with a comparable mix of primary care, specialty care, and women's health services. It is the most operationally similar UC-system peer to UCR Health in scale and service mix.
• Loma Linda University Health: Loma Linda University Health is a university-affiliated academic medical center in the Inland Empire / San Bernardino Valley. It is the closest direct peer to UCR Health — both are faith- or mission-driven AMCs operating regional clinic networks in adjacent Southern California counties with comparable specialty service lines.
