Loma Linda University Health Care and Turner Development Corp. attracted more than 700 people to a recent health fair at the Medical Park at Riverwalk in Riverside.

The event featured booths offering health services such as blood glucose screenings, eye check screenings, plastic surgery analysis and screenings, blood pressure screenings, body fat analysis, and much more.

Loma Linda University Health Care recently signed a lease at Phase Two of the Medical Park at Riverwalk, which is made up of two buildings totaling 72,000 square feet of medical office space. The two-phase Medical Park at Riverwalk comprises eight buildings totaling 100,000 square feet at 4234 and 4244 Riverwalk Parkway and is located within walking distance of many retail services and eateries.

Visitors try out a couple of machines at the Medical Park at Riverwalk health fair. At their feet is a Chi Machine, which works like a therapeutic massager to enhance circulation and stimulate internal organs. The machine over their heads is the HotHouse, which uses infrared rays to raise the body temperature, which improves circulation and helps relieve pain.

"The growing population in the Inland Empire has posed opportunities for our medical programs to grow its services beyond our main offices, which are located mainly in Loma Linda," said Dr. Garry FitzGerald, executive director for business development at Loma Linda University Health Care. "Opening satellite clinics allow us to bring the excellent and quality health care we are known for closer to other communities, such as the Riverwalk area."

Medical Park at Riverwalk is located within Turner Riverwalk, a 1 million-square-foot master-planned business park. Turner Riverwalk comprises 400,000 square feet of Class "A" office space, 375,000 square feet of R&D and industrial space, 100,000 square feet of medical office space, 125,000 square feet of retail including 11 restaurants, and a 132-room executive-style hotel.
