STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, the largest Bay Area health-care enterprise with an exclusive focus on children and expectant women, announced today that South Bascom Pediatrics in Los Gatos has joined its fast-growing network of care.

The group officially became a part of one of the most comprehensive and sought-after health-care brands in America on Dec. 1. Other recent top-ranked providers joining Stanford Medicine Children’s Health include Pediatric Associates of San Jose and the Pediatric Group of Monterey.

South Bascom Pediatrics is now a member of a robust physician network that has satellite locations, outreach sites and primary and specialty care services throughout Northern California.

new partnership not only means better access to the specialist network at Stanford Medicine Children's Health, but an expansion of primary care services.”
