Moreno Valley officials have given their stamp of approval to the Riverside University Health System, which will soon undergo a major upgrade and expansion.
The hospital, formerly known as Riverside County Regional Medical Center, will still be run by the county and will ultimately help Moreno Valley establish a high-tech medical corridor on its east end, according to a statement.
County officials unveiled their plans for the medical facility, which is part of a reorganized health care delivery network, last week.
“The next generation of health and wellness services has arrived for Riverside County residents,” Mayor Yxstian Gutierrez said in a statement. “This premier medical center has built a proud reputation for providing top quality healthcare, and we are thrilled to see RUHS expand right here in Moreno Valley.”
