We have seen a surge in respiratory illnesses like influenza, RSV, and COVID-19. This surge has many seeking care, but deciding between virtual visits, primary care appointments, urgent care, or an emergency department can be overwhelming when you're feeling unwell.

We spoke with Cassandra Annunziata, PA with Dignity Health Medical Group – Sequoia, about her recommendations for making smart health care decisions and healthy habits during flu season.

Today, we celebrate the incredible contributions of women in medicine – their dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to patient care.  

For generations, women have faced unique challenges navigating the medical field, and their perseverance has not only enriched the profession but also fundamentally reshaped health care for the better. 

Lifelong wellness depends on effective health management. A Primary Care Provider (PCP) is a key element in keeping you healthy. Think of a PCP as a personal coach who knows your individual health needs, keeps you up to date with exams and screenings, and coordinates with specialists if you need additional care.  

“Having a Primary Care Provider is important to managing your overall health and practicing disease prevention,” says Samantha Gove, FNP-C, a certified Family Nurse Practitioner at Dignity Health Mercy Medical Group. “Primary Care Providers can also help by providing referrals to dedicated specialty practices if needed.” 

We are pleased to announce that Dignity Health Mercy Medical Group was one of 22 provider organizations statewide to receive the Excellence in Healthcare Award from the Integrated Healthcare Association (IHA) for their performance on clinical quality, patient experience, and cost measures in Measurement Year 2023.
