Kern Medical, based in Bakersfield, California, operates a 222-licensed bed acute care teaching hospital along with outpatient clinics, delivering a broad range of services to the local community. As an academic teaching hospital, it is affiliated with UCLA and the David Geffen School of Medicine, with many physicians also serving as UCLA faculty; its training programs enroll hundreds of residents, fellows, and medical students each year. The hospital provides hospital-based high-risk pregnancy services and inpatient psychiatric services integrated with the county mental health system, and it runs integrated outpatient clinics at the Columbus Clinic, Medical Center Campus, and on Truxtun Avenue. It emphasizes care access for patients regardless of circumstances and maintains ongoing efforts to expand its technology offerings and strengthen ties with UCLA.

In 2026, Kern Medical was recognized as a top trauma center and re-verified in that designation, underscoring its role in regional trauma care. The organization supports ongoing teaching and clinical collaboration within its UCLA-affiliated academic framework while maintaining a network of outpatient sites to extend care beyond the hospital.
