New Name, Same Exceptional Care
Greater Newport Physicians is now MemorialCare Independent Physicians. This is a name and branding update only—our provider group is still the same. Over the last four decades, we’ve expanded well beyond the Newport Beach area and now serve south Los Angeles, as well as central and south Orange County. The new name better reflects our growth and strengthens our connection to MemorialCare.
Our patients can still see the same doctors at the same locations without any interruption to care.
