What do I like about my position with Kaiser Permanente Vallejo?

I have found this one of the most interesting and challenging environments to practice my specialty. We have a young and energetic staff of physicians and a wonderful group of nurses and medical assistants to assist clients through the consultation and endoscopic procedure process.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
