Meritage Medical Network has served the Novato community and surrounding areas for over 40 years, working as a physician-led healthcare group with more than 2,100 local physicians and over 15 hospitals in their network, so if folks need help with anything from primary care to special health concerns, they've usually got someone close by who can do the job, and they partner with doctors who manage everything from checkups and preventive care to memory care, surgery, diabetes management, and even advanced imaging at their own Outpatient Imaging Centers. The network offers over 15 HMO plans, and they keep healthcare pretty accessible with their team-based, coordinated approach, including special clinics for women's health like OB-GYN, Urogynecology, and Breast Health, plus bone density testing, neurology, and services for folks with spine or joint issues at the Spine Institute in Larkspur, Sausalito, and Petaluma.
If someone's looking for help finding a place to live and get care, Meritage Medical Network connects with local senior living advisors and sites like A Place For Mom, which gives folks free advice and help searching for studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom units nearby, and the network ties into assisted living, memory care, independent living, and skilled nursing, so care options tend to fit different levels of need. In communities and clinics, people can find all sorts of support services, from interpreter help, parking, and gift shops to financial guidance for nursing home care, caregiver assistance, and links to support groups, which can make things easier for both residents and their families.
Around every location, there's always something close by, whether it's parks, cafes, pharmacies, restaurants, a hospital, or even entertainment like a movie theater, so folks don't have to travel far for everyday needs or a bit of fun. Medical records, billing, and benefit questions are handled online or over the phone, and people needing care management in Northern California and the Central Valley can find what they're looking for, with physicians and customer service staff available every weekday and plenty of resources to help patients and their doctors keep up with what matters most for health.
