SAC Health, an FQHC teaching health center in San Bernardino, welcomed patients on its first day of providing clinical care at the new SAC Health Brier Campus. This marks a significant step in increasing access to care for people who participate in Medi-Cal.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SAC Health, a health center that serves Medi-Cal and Medicare patients, opened its doors to welcome its first group of patients to its newest medical campus located at 1003 E Brier Drive, in San Bernardino, California.

One of the first patients at SAC Health Brier campus, a young woman in her mid-20's, has been a SAC Health patient for five years, along with her siblings and her young toddler. She is able to access SAC Health's services through her IEHP insurance. She shared that she has continued to come to SAC Health for the customer service and the hands-on approach that she has experienced with providers. When asked what she thought of the new building, she simply said it was, "beautiful with lots of space" and hopes to make future appointments at the new location.

The new SAC Health Brier clinic expansion started in 2023 when SAC Health purchased the former Wells Fargo regional center building to increase its capacity and provide better access to the growing patient base in the Inland Empire. SAC Health currently sees over 230,000 patient visits per year, with a projected growth of 7% each year.

"For three years, we have worked diligently to convert this building into a health center that serves our most vulnerable patients in the region. Welcoming our first patients was certainly a milestone and testament to the hard work of staff and SAC Health partners to make this new campus a reality," said Dr. Jason Lohr, president and CEO of SAC Health. "This new facility will allow us to expand our ability to provide care and see 300,000 patient visits in the next five years."

SAC Health primarily serves patients who qualify for Medi-Cal and Medicare or through insurance providers like IEHP—a managed care plan for residents in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

SAC Health Brier will provide services in primary care, pediatrics, dentistry, specialty care, and behavioral health. For the latest updates on the new clinic or for more information, visit sachealth.org/brier-campus.
