John Muir Health

In addition, John Muir Health provides outpatient services throughout the community and urgent care centers in Brentwood, Concord, San Ramon and Walnut Creek.

John Muir Medical Center, Concord, is a 244-bed acute care facility that serves Contra Costa and southern Solano counties.

The hospital's orthopedic department includes joint replacement, extremity care, spinal surgery and sports medicine.

[8] On January 13, 2022, John Muir Health was sued by Dr. Alicia Kalamas who alleged that institutional failures led to the death of a child and several adult patients.

[10][11] John Muir Health responded to the article stating that the surgery was properly performed and that the child was frail and could have died even under optimal circumstances.
