Hospice by the Bay is Now By The Bay Health

“Our commitment to provide end-of-life care will always be at the core of this organization,” says Kitty Whitaker, RN, MS, CEO of By the Bay Health. “As a trusted community provider, we think our patients and families will appreciate the option of staying within one system while selecting a service that is in alignment with their goals of care, such as Skilled Home Health Care, which is ideal for post-surgical recovery, physical therapy, or for monitoring general wellness.”

By the Bay Health’s affiliation with University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Health has also helped expand its services, allowing the organization to offer one of the highest physician-to-patient ratios in the region.

“UCSF Health is proud to have By the Bay Health as an affiliate,” said Dr. Steven Pantilat, Chief of Palliative Medicine at UCSF Health and By the Bay Health Board Member. “It’s essential to have specialized services focused on improving the quality of life of people with serious illness and their loved ones. By the Bay Health is a critical part of our Bay Area care network, which helps us address the multifaceted health needs of patients and their families, including end-of-life care.”

By the Bay Health has offices in Larkspur, San Francisco and Sonoma and serves patients in Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Sonoma and Alameda Counties, as well as American Canyon, Napa, and Vallejo. They also offer bilingual services in Spanish and Chinese.
