Expanding Our Network

Seton Medical Center has partnered with three healthcare groups to provide quality care to a greater number of residents of San Mateo and San Francisco counties. If your physician is a member of Brown and Toland Medical Group, Physicians Integrated Medical Group (PIMG), or you are a member of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) Blue Shield, you can access quality inpatient and outpatient services at Seton and at Seton Coastside. Physicians affiliated with these groups offer the highest caliber of services without requiring you to travel to a hospital outside your community.

Brown and Toland MedicalGroup offers a panel of 1,500 primary care physicians and specialists who practice in San Francisco and northern San Mateo County. PIMG consists of a panel of more than 500 physicians who practice in San Francisco and in Seton’s primary service area.* CalPERS Blue Shield manages pension and health benefits for more than 1.5 million California public employees and retirees and their families.

“We are very excited about these new relationships,” says Tim McMurdo, Seton’s Vice President of Medical Staff Services and Business Development. “We are looking forward to partnering with these doctors for the benefit of the community and to providing outstanding service to their patients.” Seton accepts all major HMO and PPO plans. If you need a physician, call our 24-hour referral line at 800.436.2404.
