Martinez and other East Bay residents have access to unparalleled health care services with several hospitals and medical centers located just minutes from home.
Contra Costa’s own Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, a full-service, 164-bed county hospital, has been deemed a “bright spot among East Bay hospitals” by the Contra Costa Times.
The medical center was one of only three California hospitals to receive the 2009 Outstanding Achievement Award from the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer, but cancer treatment isn’t the only service helping the medical center make waves in medicine. The hospital also offers emergency services, comprehensive perinatal services, senior services, psychiatric services, pediatric services, women’s health services, surgery and recovery and services from a number of other medical facilities within the hospital.

The VA Northern California Health Care System also operates in the Bay Area, offering a continuum of health care services to eligible area veterans. A few of the services offered at the locations in Martinez, Oakland, Redding, Chico, Sacramento, Vallejo and Fairfield include primary care, physical therapy, psychiatric care, alcohol treatment, cancer treatment, ambulatory treatment, radiology and substance abuse treatment.
