Leadership in Medicine

PAMF Physicians

The quality of colleagues and their dedication to the medical profession, their patients and their community are factors cited repeatedly by physicians and other professional staff members who have chosen the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) as their career destination.

A basic, underlying pride and satisfaction permeate the daily operations of the multi-specialty group practice that has served the Palo Alto-Stanford region since the 1920s, when the Palo Alto Medical Clinic was created. From its inception, it has been dedicated to the idea that Clinic physicians should provide care for the full range of medical and health needs of the community -- it was one of the few group practices founded by an internist, as opposed to being a specialty referral group that added primary care physicians later.

Today, the Clinic physician partnership provides medical services to the PAMF Health Care Division, under a contractual relationship with the not-for-profit umbrella organization. Yet a close-knit collegiality, which some physicians and staff members have called a "family feeling," remains despite growth, the strains of adapting to managed care changes.
