UPHP, a unique, public-private joint venture with a county-owned hospital and one of the Inland Empire region’s largest multispecialty medical groups, will coordinate the delivery of care provided by a network of health care providers in a manner intended to improve care access, quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
