This is great news for all residents of the El Camino Hospital District. This merger will allow for better recruiting of primary and specialist physicians so residents will have more choice. The Camino Medical Group continues to be the premier medical group in the area. If you aren't a patient there yet, go to one of their free lectures or schedule an appointment with one of the excellent primary care physicians. Combining the care of CMG physicians with the rest of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation physicians will give patients a choice of hospital should they need inpatient care.
