FONTANA, CA, – The Kaiser Permanente Fontana & Ontario Medical Centers have been ranked #1 in San Bernardino County and #2 in the Inland Empire in U.S. News & World Report’s annual “Best Hospitals” rankings. The Fontana and Ontario Medical Centers are recognized as high-performing in three areas of clinical expertise: Heart Failure, Colon Cancer Surgery and Hip Replacement.

Only three hospitals in U.S. News & World Report’s “Inland Empire Metro Area” – which includes both Riverside and San Bernardino Counties – are ranked as a Regional Top Hospital. Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage (Riverside County) is ranked #1, while the Fontana and Ontario Medical Centers share the #2 spot with Loma Linda University Medical Center for the Metro Area, but are #1 in San Bernardino County.

“This exceptional ranking by U.S. News & World Report recognizes the talents and hard work of our physicians and staff, as well as our focus on prevention and commitment to providing the highest quality care to the more than 560,000 members Kaiser Permanente serves in San Bernardino County,” said Dr. Timothy Jenkins, Area Medical Director and Chief of Staff.

Added Greg Christian, Senior Vice President and Area Manager, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals/Health Plan, San Bernardino County Area, “We are very proud to be among the best of the best in the Inland Empire. As always, it is the total health of our members and patients that inspires us to be a world class medical center.”
