For Release: December 17, 2014

STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, the largest Bay Area health-care enterprise with an exclusive focus on children and expectant women, announced today that South Bascom Pediatrics in Los Gatos has joined its fast-growing network of care.

The group officially became a part of one of the most comprehensive and sought-after health-care brands in America on Dec. 1. Other recent top-ranked providers joining Stanford Medicine Children’s Health include Pediatric Associates of San Jose and the Pediatric Group of Monterey.

South Bascom Pediatrics is now a member of a robust physician network that has satellite locations, outreach sites and primary and specialty care services throughout Northern California. Additionally, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health services are available at more than 100 locations in eight states and receive nearly 400,000 patient visits a year.

“We’re really delighted to partner with Stanford Medicine Children’s Health,” said Patricia Ferrari, MD, PhD, president of South Bascom Pediatrics, a group long known for providing high-quality care for infants, children, teenagers and young adults. “This new partnership not only means better access to the specialist network at Stanford Medicine Children's Health, but an expansion of primary care services.”

Expanding access and convenience

Expanding access and convenience for children and expectant mothers is central to the Stanford Children’s Health mission. That mission includes a commitment to provide Stanford Children’s Health well-care or specialty care services within 10 miles of every Bay Area family home.
