RN-Infusion Center: Sutter Health

Camino Medical Group (CMG) is one of Northern California's largest physician governed, multi-specialty medical groups. CMG is an affiliate of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, which is part of the Sutter Health family of not-for-profit hospitals and physician organizations that share resources and expertise to advance health care quality. Camino Medical Group's tradition of excellence began in 1954 when six physicians decided to work together and share ideas and resources. These physicians named the group Sunnyvale Medical Clinic. That tradition continued throughout the years as more and more physicians joined the group. In 1994, the clinic changed its name to Camino Medical Group. In 2000, Camino Medical Group affiliated with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, becoming a not-for-profit, community-based organization.
