IN OUR COMMUNITY
A health care
network that
provides choice.
Health care should be about choice. Daughters of Charity Health System’s
expanded integrated network of physicians, hospitals, urgent care
centers, and outpatient, primary and specialty care provides the
community with quality health care, and 22 convenient care sites from
San Jose through Gilroy.
Health care isn’t always predictable. What you can plan for is having
access to a health care network that respects your choice. Choose well.
