Inland Empire magazine’s “Top Doctor” issue highlights the region’s leading physicians based on a nationwide survey of about 340,000 physicians conducted by The Center for the Study of Services, an independent, non-profit consumer organization, asking physicians who they would want to care for their loved one. The “Top Doctor” database contains the names of more then 23,000 doctors who were mentioned most often. “We are very proud of our physicians because they truly exemplify our mission of continuing the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ,” said Kerry Heinrich, CEO of LLUMC. “I believe the recognition received by our physicians from their peers reflects the effort they put forth to be the best they can be, and helps us reach our goal of providing healing for the whole person.” Dr. Roger Hadley, dean of LLU School of Medicine, said the list of physicians shows the tremendous impact that the institution has made on health care in the region and beyond. “Our doctors make and continue to make a difference in our local communities and throughout the world,” he said.

Behind those everyday experiences are departments and employees whose work rarely attracts national attention.
