Be sure to find out where you'll be sent for lab tests, surgeries, specialist visits, or hospitalization. Making an extra trip elsewhere may be inconvenient. Many health plan members prefer having their primary care physician in or near a multi-specialty office location where specialists, laboratories, diagnostic testing and a pharmacy are under one roof. Woodland Healthcare has an integrated campus with a clinic, pharmacy, surgery center, and hospital. If you are expecting a baby in the next year, pay special attention to your choice of a prenatal care provider.
Some medical groups offer the services of certified midwives, as well as physicians.
In addition, some obstetricians have delivery privileges at both local hospitals, others at just one. This consideration is especially important for women experiencing a high-risk pregnancy. Woodland Memorial is the only hospital in Yolo County staffed and equipped to handle high-risk deliveries.
