Hilltop Medical Clinic will become Dignity Health Urgent Care on June 21, 2025, and will open for patients June 30, 2025.

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.

Update: The Dignity Health Urgent Care pilot program has ended, as planned, as of 5/31/25.

The Urgent Care Pilot Program in Half Moon Bay, funded by the County of San Mateo ended, as planned, on May 31, 2025. This successful pilot program provided valuable insights that will help us improve and expand same-day care options for the community in the near future.

We're pleased to continue offering walk-in and same-day care for low-severity urgent care patients, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., just as we did during the pilot program. We are working diligently to extend these hours as quickly as possible.

Our team is available to assist Health Plan of San Mateo members who need to be assigned to a Dignity Health Medical Group - Sequoia primary care provider. This will allow us to continue providing care without disruption.

Our clinic will continue to see established patients of Dignity Health Medical Group – Sequoia, including adults and children over 14 years of age. This includes patients with PPO plans, Medicare, and Health Plan of San Mateo.

Patients without insurance, or with out-of-network coverage, will be required to pay out-of-pocket for services.

• Our staff are available to help connect patients without insurance to the Health Coverage Unit at San Mateo County Health who can help determine if they are eligible for available health coverage programs.
