Residents of the Inland Empire have many choices when it comes to health care. They choose Loma Linda University Health’s main campus hospitals, the LLU Behavioral Medicine Center, and LLU Medical Center - Murrieta because of the high level of care and services offered; other factors include whether our facilities are patient-friendly and accessible.
Each year data is released that shows where residents within the LLUH service area have chosen to receive health care for themselves and their families. The report reveals the LLUH percentage of the inpatient market share. New market share data has recently been released.
For the year of the report (2012), all LLUH hospitals combined captured 10.04 percent of the inpatient market share for our service area. In comparison, the region’s county hospitals, Arrowhead Regional Medical Center and Riverside Community Regional Medical Center, together took 11.1 percent of Inland Empire’s inpatient market share.
These results are impressive. According to Tammy Veach, executive director of marketing, LLUH, this is the most significant increase in market share for LLUH in 10 years. Our organization had not projected reaching the 10 percent goal to be net for another two years.
Note: LLU Medical Center - Murrieta share estimated, all data excludes normal newborns.
