Congratulations to our Pediatrics team!

Late last month, they were honored by Partnership HealthPlan of California for their outstanding quality of care. Out of clinics across 24 counties, MCC’s Pediatrics department scored an impressive 92%, placing them in the top 20 clinics measured statewide.

This recognition highlights what we see every day – our pediatric staff going above and beyond to make sure our community’s children and families receive the #bestcareanywhere. From routine checkups to supporting families through more complex health needs, their commitment shines through in every visit.

We are so proud of this incredible team and the difference they make in our community!

Lucresha’s portion starts at about the 1:57:40 mark in the video.
