The collaboration will enable multidisciplinary physicians from both facilities to work together to diagnose and determine the best course of therapy for patients with complex conditions. JMH cancer patients will also maintain access to UCSF’s clinical trials, allowing them access to the latest therapies and treatment options available.
The collaborative effort will build upon the institutions’ affiliation first established in 2015. The collaboration also includes the building and opening of a new outpatient center in Berkeley in 2018 through the organizations’ joint venture, BayHealth.
“Together, we can offer patients care across a continuum of services and help them navigate their individual medical needs,” said Alan Ashworth, president of the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, in a statement. “They will have access to specialists in both health systems, an extensive support network, and the most precise and personal cancer services that John Muir Health and UCSF have to offer.”
