We are proud to announce that 93 physicians from Dignity Health Mercy Medical Group, and 49 from Dignity Health Woodland Clinic have been voted SacTown Magazine’s Top Doctors in 2023. The “Top Docs” honor is an annual list of the area’s best doctors as voted by their peers.

Dignity Health Mercy Medical Group and Dignity Health Woodland Clinic have been awarded Elite Status from America's Physician Groups (APG), the nation's leading professional association for accountable physician groups. The medical groups are two of just 70 organizations nationally to achieve Elite Status (the highest recognition) in 2023.

Elite Status is earned through participation in APG's Standards of Excellence Survey, which evaluates the coordinated care infrastructure and value-based care performance of the organization’s physician group members.
