Center of Aging

San Antonio Regional Hospital is currently developing the Center of Aging, a new multi-specialty outpatient facility in Rancho Cucamonga designed to serve the region's growing Medicare-age population. The center is positioned as a comprehensive senior care destination, with primary care, orthopedics, cardiology, geriatrics, audiology, imaging, pharmacy, lab, and physical and occupational therapy all under one roof. It is scheduled to open in 2026.

The Internal Medicine preceptor role being recruited through this search will be one of the first permanent physicians at the Center of Aging, working alongside the residency program that anchors the clinic's clinical operations.
