High Quality, Physician Driven Care

This multi-county affiliation has created one of the most comprehensive PPO Networks in Southern California. The IEFMC is comprised of over 2,000 physicians, ancillary providers and 27 hospitals in the Inland Empire. The purpose of the IEFMC is to promote, develop and encourage the distribution of medical services by its members to the people of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. As a physician directed organization IEFMC understands the value that the physician/patient relationship must be maintained and guarded.
