Community Hospital of San Bernardino

What Community Hospital of San Bernardino does

Community Hospital of San Bernardino is a not-for-profit community hospital founded in 1910 and operating at 1805 Medical Center Drive in San Bernardino, California. The hospital provides a full-service acute care offering that includes a 24/7 emergency department, a Family Birth Center, behavioral health services, intensive and critical care, long-term adult and child subacute care, outpatient and inpatient surgery (including robotic-assisted minimally invasive procedures for gallbladder, hernia, appendicitis, reflux, and tumor cases), oncology, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, otolaryngology, imaging, primary care, urgent care, and women's health. It is accredited by The Joint Commission and holds a Disproportionate Share Hospital designation under CMS, which makes it eligible for federal funding to serve uninsured and underinsured populations, including patients without private insurance, Medicare, or Medi-Cal.

The hospital employs 274 staff and works in close operational coordination with its sister facility, St. Bernardine Medical Center, to serve San Bernardino and the surrounding communities. Since 2019, it has operated as part of CommonSpirit Health, formed through the merger of Dignity Health and Catholic Health Initiatives, giving it access to system-level administrative infrastructure, the My Portal patient portal, online bill pay, medical records access, and a price-transparency cost estimator. Patient-facing channels include a Health Education Center that offers free community classes on nutrition, diabetes, heart health, parenting, and stress management, alongside social media presence and a Find a Doctor referral tool.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare delivery funded by a payer mix spanning private insurance, Medicare, Medi-Cal, and self-pay/uninsured patients, with financial-assistance programs available for eligible patients and No Surprises Act compliance in place. Marketing is community-led through health education, events, social media, and physician referrals rather than commercial enterprise sales. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there is no digital product offering beyond the standard patient portal and billing tools.
