Loma Linda University Medical Center

What Loma Linda University Medical Center does

Loma Linda University Medical Center is the flagship hospital of Loma Linda University Health, a non-profit Seventh-day Adventist academic medical center founded in 1905 and headquartered at 11234 Anderson St, Loma Linda, California. The organization operates six hospitals across Southern California — including the Medical Center, Children's Hospital, East Campus, Murrieta, Surgical Hospital, and Behavioral Medicine Center — supported by an extensive outpatient clinic network and a Level I trauma center covering more than 25% of California. It serves a broad patient base of more than 1.5 million outpatients annually, alongside physicians-in-training drawn to 60+ residency and fellowship programs.

The system's core products span comprehensive acute and specialty care across cancer (anchored by the world's first hospital-based proton therapy unit), heart and vascular care through the International Heart Institute, the region's only multi-organ Transplant Institute, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, rehabilitation, behavioral health, and primary care. Underlying technology includes advanced imaging (notably the GE Healthcare Revolution Apex CT scanner deployed at Murrieta), AI-driven clinical guidance and evidence-based automation for utilization and case management (via a partnership with MCG Health), and a new GMP laboratory for cell, gene, and regenerative medicine clinical trials established with a $9 million CIRM grant in November 2025. The institution also delivers world-leading pediatric cardiac surgery, building on Dr. Leonard Bailey's pioneering 1985 infant heart transplant.

Loma Linda University Health is funded and operates through clinical patient care services, medical education tuition and training revenue, research grants and sponsored programs, and philanthropy via the Stronger Together campaign. Go-to-market is delivered through physician referrals, direct admissions, emergency and trauma services, outpatient appointments, and international patient services — with strategic partnerships (Kara Health for hospice, Lifepoint Rehabilitation for inpatient rehab, MCG Health for AI-driven case management) extending the footprint without requiring full capital outlay. The institution is governed as a faith-based non-profit and is not publicly traded or private equity-backed.
