Our hospitalists are the clinical backbone of the medical center—caring for the majority of hospitalized patients, co-managing complex surgical and subspecialty populations, and partnering closely with nursing, case management, specialists, and hospital leadership to drive quality, flow, and patient experience. Oakland's landscape is a picturesque mix of lovely hillside neighborhoods; exciting and diverse architecture; a bustling waterfront; two shimmering lakes; 19 miles of shoreline along the San Francisco Bay; unparalleled Bay views; and more parks and open space per capita than any other city in the Bay Area.
