MemorialCare began as a single hospital in Long Beach in 1907 and formalized as an integrated health system in 1997. It now includes Long Beach Medical Center, Miller Children's & Women's Hospital, Orange Coast Medical Center, and Saddleback Medical Center. The system operates medical groups and outpatient sites across Orange and Los Angeles counties. Its integrated delivery network spans primary care, specialty care, urgent care, virtual care, and acute hospital services. MemorialCare runs four clinical institutes — Cancer, Heart & Vascular, Orthopedic & Spine, and Neuroscience — and a Research & Clinical Trial Program. It recorded 1.9 million patient visits annually as of 2025 (per MemorialCare). MemorialCare employs more than 300 primary care providers and 2,000 specialists (per MemorialCare). The system delivered roughly 8,400 newborns and performed 26,700 surgeries annually as of 2025 (per MemorialCare). It manages philanthropic community programs targeting food insecurity, housing stability, and mental health. MemorialCare is structured as a nonprofit with a board-governed model, reinvesting operating surpluses into facilities, technology, and community programming. Its status as a safety-net provider in underserved parts of Southern California distinguishes it from for-profit hospital chains in the region.
