Loma Linda University Health is a 10,000+ person nonprofit academic medical center system anchored in Southern California, operating six hospitals with 18,000 clinical staff. The tech stack reflects a large healthcare provider mid-transition: Epic Systems and Cerner dominate EHR, supported by research-grade bioinformatics tools (BLAST, GATK, Ensembl), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and ML libraries (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn). A critical signal is the active replacement of Cerner with Epic — a foundational EHR migration that typically spans 12–24 months and consumes substantial clinical and IT bandwidth, particularly around pathology report migration now in flight.
