PAMF Medical Group Merger:
Impact on Patient Care
On January 1, 2008, the three medical groups affiliated with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation – Camino Medical Group (CMG), Palo Alto Medical Clinic (PAMC) and Santa Cruz Medical Clinic (SCMC) – merged into a single medical group. Eventually, the merger will allow patients to receive care at any PAMF facility in Alameda, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. We will be working over the coming year to ensure the clinical, administrative and technical foundations are in place to allow patients to access care throughout the consolidated PAMF system.
