EMERYVILLE, Calif., April 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Canopy Health's executive team announced today the Department of Managed Health Care's (DMHC) approval to add Dignity Health Medical Network – Santa Cruz (DHMN) formerly Physicians Medical Group (PMG), the largest independent practice association (IPA) of primary care and specialist physicians in Santa Cruz County, and Dignity Health Dominican Hospital to its growing alliance. "Canopy Health is excited about expanding its alliance of top-rated hospitals and physicians," said Denise Vance-Rodrigues, Canopy Health's vice president of business development. "Dignity Health Medical Network and Dignity Health Dominican Hospital give our members in the Bay Area even greater access to trusted primary care physicians, specialists, and hospitals. We believe this expansion will help our members access exceptional healthcare closer to where they live, work, or play." As the largest IPA in Santa Cruz County, DHMN includes more than 200 Santa Cruz-area providers, 42 specialties, and 90 convenient locations. The Canopy Health expansion into Santa Cruz now gives more than one-third of Bay Area residents who live and work in different counties the opportunity to seek care in multiple locations. "As communities grow, commute times increase, which is why Canopy Health offers network-wide referrals," added Mike Robinson, Canopy Health's CEO. "We want to offer healthcare access wherever people live, work or play in the Bay Area through an extensive network of impressive physicians, hospitals and urgent care centers." Canopy Health members will benefit from the two institutions' combined strengths and expertise. With the Santa Cruz County expansion, Canopy Health's network will now include 19 hospitals across nine Bay Area counties with access to nearly 5,000 physicians for primary and specialty care. "This partnership is an excellent example of Dignity Health expanding healthcare access in Santa Cruz County, and we are very pleased to work with Canopy Health to bring this network to our community," said Todd Strumwasser, MD, senior vice president of operations for Dignity Health in the San Francisco Bay Area. "At Dominican Hospital and Dignity Health Medical Network, we are committed to providing the most advanced care available." The expansion enables Canopy Health to fulfill its mission to deliver refreshingly clear, human care to even more Bay Area residents. The expansion will also advance Canopy Health's goals of championing health and advocating for Bay Area residents.
