Sutter Health Network Physician Organizations Named Among the Best in California

Six physician organizations in the Sutter Medical Network received “Elite” honors from the California Association of Physician Groups’ (CAPG) Standards of Excellence Survey—the highest recognition awarded by the professional organization.

Winners in the Sutter Health Network include the following:

Elite Status (4 stars / highest recognition)

• Brown & Toland Physicians
• Palo Alto Medical Foundation
• Sutter East Bay Medical Foundation
• Sutter Gould Medical Foundation
• Sutter Medical Foundation
• Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation

Sent each year to dozens of participating physician organizations throughout California, the survey provides a thorough examination of the tools and processes CAPG members have in place to meet the escalating expectations of health care purchasers and patients. It helps set the bar for consumers to evaluate a physician group’s technical quality, patient experience and affordability.

“Recognitions such as these are among the most meaningful because they acknowledge the commitment of our network’s doctors and care teams to providing patients with an exceptional, personal and consistent experience,” said Sutter Medical Network Senior Vice President and Executive Officer Jeff Burnich.

Physician organizations voluntarily participate in CAPG’s Standards of Excellence survey. This year 62 organizations, collectively caring for 11.1 million Californians, voluntarily participated in the survey.
