“We’re excited that our opening day is here and that we can share this amazing new facility with our patients and the community,” said Caroline Schreiber, MD, a family medicine physician, medical director of the Berkeley Outpatient Center and a Berkeley native.  “We are bringing together two locally and nationally recognized health systems for the benefit of patients and the community.”

“Patients have a new choice for local, expert care that emphasizes prevention and wellness, while also having onsite access to UCSF Health and John Muir Health specialists when they need it,” she said. “Having primary care and specialist physicians in one location enhances collaboration, knowledge sharing and care coordination, so patients receive the best possible care and expertise from UCSF Health and John Muir Health.”

Conveniently located at the border of Berkeley, Oakland and Emeryville, the Berkeley Outpatient Center offers plenty of free, validated parking on site for patients and excellent access via public transportation and by bicycle.
