Community Hospital of San Bernardino sits right in San Bernardino, California, and goes all the way back to 1910 so there's a good amount of history under its roof, and inside you'll find 343 beds and a staff that covers hospital medicine, urgent care, primary care, cardiology, psychiatry, and even neurohospitalist needs, so folks really get access to a wide mix of care, whether they're coming in for something sudden like a stroke, need wound care, want to see a doctor through telehealth, or just need their regular checkups handled. Folks get regular and after-hours appointment times, along with weekend slots, plus they offer all kinds of virtual care so nobody misses out because of a tough schedule or trouble getting out, and there's a free onsite parking area, an onsite pharmacy, and a medical plaza that connects into the main spots by a bridge, which means there's a bit more convenience than some other places.
You'll find internal medicine doctors like Dr. Saba Habis, MD, and Dr. Shyam Patel, MD, working alongside specialists in everything from back pain to cardiothoracic surgery, and they help manage care for all kinds of problems, including diabetes, heart disease, migraines, anxiety, COPD, bronchitis, or simply when a person needs help with depression or cancer. The emergency room stays open all day and night, and the critical care and intensive care units look after folks around the clock if anything serious comes up. This hospital keeps its focus on patient safety and earned awards for it, plus it communicates its accreditation and ratings to health plans and keeps that checked every three years, with names like The Joint Commission and DNV verifying the place, just to make sure standards stay high.
Surgery services include hernia repairs, back and neck operations (but not spinal fusion), and they do offer inpatient and outpatient care, so you don't always need an overnight stay. People can get diagnosed with heart, lung, or nerve problems with tests like ABGs, EKGs, and skin checks, and there are specialized rehab options, behavioral health care, neurological subacute care for both children and adults, and even psychiatry to give a little more support when needed. The hospital also works as a Baby Friendly Hospital-one of only a few like it in the United States-which means mothers and babies get a certain type of support that not every hospital offers. There's a five-story patient tower named after Monida B. Cummings, which stands out, and the medical group practice ties the whole thing together.
People can pay bills and look up their medical records online, find a doctor through a special search feature, and visit the Health Matters blog for tips and information, and when it comes to finances, there are financial help programs available for folks who need them. The staff puts effort into running community education and outreach events, and the Dignity Health network, which runs multiple hospitals across California and Nevada, makes sure the right resources and support are available, so the hospital really tries to reach the community it serves with both care and information. This is a hospital where a wide range of health problems can be handled, whether someone needs acute surgery, mental health support, or just a quieter outpatient treatment, and everything sits under one roof with safety, compassion, and a whole lot of experience behind it.
