Wrap Up!

In terms of healthcare, the Inland Empire has historically been neglected compared to other parts of the state. There is also an economic aspect, as the Riverside hospital will increase its 3,500 employees by around 330. Therefore, constructing these facilities will help boost the Empire’s economy.
