Since May 2016, NorthBay Health has been a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, allowing NorthBay Health physicians to work closely with Mayo Clinic specialists — sharing medical knowledge and clinical expertise in ways that directly benefit patients.

Through eConsults, NorthBay doctors have access to more than 4,000 Mayo Clinic physicians and scientists for second opinions on rare, serious or complex cases.

Other care network membership benefits include:

AskMayoExpert, a database for reference at the point of care. AME offers the latest Mayo Clinic-vetted information on the management, care and treatment of a variety of medical conditions.

Health Care Consulting, which enables NorthBay to learn about Mayo Clinic’s clinical, operational and business models, including how they are designed and implemented.

eBoard conferences, which allow NorthBay Health physicians to gather with multiple specialists from Mayo Clinic and other care network health care organizations to discuss complex cases.
