Our Health Care Provider Partners

UCSF Health and John Muir Health have been collaborating to expand access to world-class healthcare in the East Bay. This affiliation includes our Berkeley Outpatient Center, a joint medical center for primary care, urgent care, specialists, lab and imaging, all under one roof. The partnership also brings both of our health care organizations together to provide a comprehensive Cancer Network.

Together, John Muir Health and Stanford Medicine Children’s Health have formed a partnership to bring comprehensive pediatric specialty services closer to home for families in the East Bay and surrounding communities by accessing Stanford Medicine Children’s Health specialists locally through John Muir Health. With this partnership, we also provide critical care for newborns at our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and critical care for children at the only Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) in Contra Costa County.

Through our partnership with San Ramon Regional Medical Center, we are working to expand and improve care, access, and services for patients in the growing Tri-Valley area, including an outpatient center in Pleasanton.

John Muir Health and Carbon Health are working together to create the largest network of urgent care and primary care facilities in the eastern region of the San Francisco Bay Area. This unprecedented collaboration will increase health care access and drive seamless navigation and care coordination for thousands of Carbon Health and John Muir Health patients. Carbon Health primary care patients at affiliated East Bay locations will have access to John Muir Health’s highly skilled clinicians, including advanced imaging, neurosciences, orthopedics, cancer, gynecologic surgery, cardiovascular, pediatrics, high-risk obstetrics, and more.
