The hospital traces its origins to Corona Community Hospital, founded in 1965, and was formed through a 1992 merger with Circle City Medical Center. Today it comprises a 160-bed acute care hospital and a 78-bed rehabilitation campus, employs more than 1,250 healthcare workers, and has a medical staff of approximately 347 physicians across more than 40 specialties. CRMC is certified by The Joint Commission.
Nursing roles at CRMC include positions such as sub-acute RNs at Corona Rehabilitation Hospital, with responsibilities spanning assessment, planning, and implementation of patient care under the direction of nursing leadership. The work environment receives mixed reviews from nurses: some describe a great culture with approachable providers and enjoyable coworkers, while others report serious concerns about management practices, favoritism, and inadequate support for new graduates. The hospital has recently undergone branding changes as part of Southwest Healthcare and is currently navigating contract disputes with certain insurers, which may affect the patient population and revenue stability.
CRMC's stated core values are embodied in the C.A.R.E.S. framework: Courtesy, Accountability, Recognition and Respect, Every Patient Every Time, and Service Excellence. These values are intended to guide how employees and physicians treat both patients and fellow coworkers.
