Major Riverside hospitals & health systems
Riverside is anchored by Magnolia Avenue medical corridor (Riverside Community Hospital and surrounding specialty practices), home to institutions such as Riverside Community Hospital, Kaiser Permanente Riverside Medical Center, Parkview Community Hospital Medical Center.
