LLUCH is a recognized leader in pediatric healthcare, education and research.
The new state of the art Fontana location is projected to open in early 2026. It will provide basic pediatric urgent care services for patients ages 0-21, including treatment for minor illnesses such as coughs, colds, flu, fever, sprains and other non-emergency medical conditions.
In addition to Sprouts, Highland Village is also home to Arrowhead Credit Union, Raising Cane’s, Dutch Bros., Jack in the Box, Jersey Mike’s, Oggi’s Pizza and others. The center is ideally situated at the busy signalized intersection of Sierra Avenue and Highland Avenue with visibility to over 50,000 cars on average per day.

According to Paul Su, “We’re thrilled that LLUCH selected this location to expand their pediatric services in the Inland Empire and we’re excited to welcome them to the center.” Su added, “Medical users increasingly favor retail centers for their visibility and convenience PLUS properties like Highland Village–with freeway pylon and entry monument signage–make it easy for families to find the facility.”
