Loma Linda is unusual among Inland Empire cities: it is a small city built around one of the largest academic medical centers in the region, and it is one of the world's recognized Blue Zones — a place where residents tend to live notably longer. That longevity means an aging population, and the wounds our clinicians treat here reflect it — venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries, and slow-healing surgical wounds among older residents, alongside diabetic foot ulcers even though the city's overall diabetes rate sits below the regional average. Our licensed physicians and nurse practitioners see patients across the city: Downtown Loma Linda and the University area around the medical campus, the residential neighborhoods of North and South Loma Linda, the Anderson Street medical corridor, and the streets that run toward the Redlands border. It may seem counterintuitive to bring wound care into a city defined by its hospital, but the point of home-based care is precisely for the patient who has been discharged and now needs weekly follow-up without repeatedly returning to the campus — the frail elderly resident, the post-surgical patient told to rest, the diabetic patient who must stay off the foot. We keep those patients on schedule at home. Loma Linda University Medical Center, the Children's Hospital, and the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial VA Medical Center form the medical heart of the city, with Redlands Community Hospital nearby. We coordinate closely with their discharge planning teams so a patient leaving with a surgical wound, pressure injury, or diabetic ulcer transitions to physician-led care at home without a gap — including veterans discharged from the Pettis VA. Wound measurements, photographs, and encounter notes go back to the discharging team and the primary care physician after each visit. Our coordination team arranges interpreter support when scheduling for households that need it, so dressing-change steps, offloading instructions, and infection warning signs are understood by the patient and family. Visits are typically covered under Medicare Part B, Medicare Advantage, and most commercial plans. Our coordination line at 877-545-1300 is open 24/7. Call to arrange an assessment.
