SAC Health System, the largest independent provider of Medi-Cal services in the Inland Empire, has been granted full “330 designation” by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration.
The practical significance of this designation is that it allows SAC Health System to apply for important grants and will result in tuition reimbursement for staff members’ continuing education, according to President/CEO Nancy Young.
SAC Health System began as an outreach to the community by Loma Linda University students and faculty in the 1960s, and the organization maintains ties with Loma Linda University Health today.
“The timing of this designation is perfect,” Young says, “as we prepare to move into our new, expanded space at Loma Linda University Health – San Bernardino.”
The opening of this new facility, which will be located at 250 South G Street next to the I-215 freeway, is scheduled for next year. To learn more about the facility, visit lomalindauniversityhealth.org/sanbernardino. It will also house the San Manuel Gateway College and a vegetarian restaurant.
In October, SAC Health System will celebrate 20 years at its current location on the former Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino.
