SAN RAMON and WALNUT CREEK, Calif., December 16, 2015 — John Muir Health and San Ramon Regional Medical Center's new Pleasanton Outpatient Center opened this week at 5860 Owens Drive.

“At the Pleasanton Outpatient Center,  the Tri-Valley community can access a wide range of medical services – all in one convenient location,” said Paul Smith, chief executive officer of the joint venture between John Muir Health and Tenet Healthcare, which operates the Pleasanton Outpatient Center. “Our services are available to the entire community and we accept most insurance plans, which means even if you don’t have a doctor located at our center, you can use our services like the Urgent Care, lab and imaging.”

Health care providers and services available at the Pleasanton Outpatient Center include:

• Primary Care (Internal and Family Medicine)
• Pediatric Care
• Specialty Care (Obstetrics/Gynecology, Cardiology and other specialties in 2016)

The Pleasanton Outpatient Center’s design was driven by the needs of patients -- convenience, access, cost-effective care, service and quality. Patients can also use online tools through MyJohnMuirHealth to message their John Muir Health doctor, schedule appointments, view lab results, request prescription renewals, get diagnosed and treated using eVisits, and more.

“Through our partnership with San Ramon Regional Medical Center, we’re excited to provide the Tri-Valley community with expanded choices for high-quality, patient-centered care, close to home in a modern, healing environment,” said Lee Huskins, president and chief administrative officer of John Muir Health’s Physician Network. “Offering primary care physicians, specialists and care managers in one location enhances collaboration, knowledge sharing and care coordination, which allows us to partner with our patients to better manage their health.”

San Ramon Regional Medical Center and John Muir Health announced and completed their joint venture partnership in 2013. Through the partnership, John Muir Health acquired a 49 percent ownership interest in San Ramon Regional Medical Center.  As part of the agreement, John Muir Health and San Ramon Regional Medical Center are jointly developing outpatient services, such as the Pleasanton Outpatient Center, and other projects in the Tri-Valley area and nearby communities.
