Extending Pediatric Specialty Care to More Families

Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford is now partnering with John Muir Health to provide access to comprehensive children’s specialty services in Contra Costa County and surrounding communities.

“A partnership of this type provides a tremendous benefit for children and families in the John Muir Health region,” said Christopher G. Dawes, president and CEO at Packard Children’s. “Increasing access and convenience to both of our hospitals’ world-class care will have a major impact in the communities John Muir Health serves.”

John Muir Health and Packard Children’s began a successful partnership in urology and a growing number of surgical and medical services in 2011. The collaboration now expands to include outpatient, inpatient, neonatal and emergency care, which will enable children with conditions ranging from basic to complex to see Packard Children’s specialists locally through John Muir Health.

Packard Children’s has long been committed to successful community partnerships with Bay Area providers. Examples include successful and highly collaborative relationships with hospitals such as Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City, Washington Hospital in Fremont, El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, and Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz. In this same spirit, the partnership with John Muir Health allows both institutions to enhance and extend the world-class care the hospitals are known for.
