Our History
The tradition of caring that culminated in the establishment of Corona Regional Medical Center began in 1933, with the founding of Corona Community Hospital. Since that time the hospital has changed to meet the needs of the rapidly growing community. Corona Community Hospital merged with Circle City Medical Center in 1992, and the resulting entity became Corona Regional Medical Center. The Hospital is now a 240-bed community hospital network comprising a 160-bed acute care hospital and an 80-bed rehabilitiation campus. It is fully accredited by The Joint Commission, employs more than 1,000 trained healthcare workers and has a medical staff of approximately 300 physicians representing more than 40 specialties.
What makes Corona Regional Medical Center special?
What sets it apart from the rest? We are a community hospital with very strong ties to the community we serve. The Corona Regional Medical Center " family" is committed to quality—doing it the correct way the first time, and every time. Consider these statistics:
71% of our professional, clinical and ancillary staff live in the greater Corona/Norco are and choose to work here.
The majority of physicians on staff are board certified. Over 70% of them have been in practice in the Western Inland Empire area for more than 10 years.
49% of our loyal staff, both clinical and non-clinical, have worked at the hospital for more than five years. Many have worked here for 10, 15 and 20 years, speaking volumes about their dedication and their pride in this hospital. Most staff members have degrees and are certifed in their specialties; several have advanced clinical degrees and licenses.
For many people, visiting a hospital is a little like taking a trip to a strange land. Hospitals are often unfamiliar territory with strange machines, sounds and objects that can contribute to a sense of unease and discomfort. Customer service is our top priority. We try to promote a sense of family by treating patients, families, guests, physicians and vendors with compassions. Our goal is to treat our customers as we would like to be treated ourselves: with courtsey, recognition and respect.
In the constantly changing world of healthcare, our mission remains steadfast: We seek to be the leading community healthcare provider, serving our communities as the healthcare partner of choice for patients, staff and physicians. We look forward to the challenges and opportunities that come our way and believe we are well prepared to take healthcare into this millennium and beyond.
