John Muir Health is a health care service headquartered in Walnut Creek, California and serving Contra Costa County, California and surrounding communities. It was formed in 1997 from the merger of John Muir Medical Center and Mt. Diablo Medical Center.

John Muir Health includes two of the largest medical centers in Contra Costa County: John Muir Medical Center, Walnut Creek, a medical center that serves as Contra Costa County's only designated trauma center; and John Muir Medical Center, Concord. Together, they are recognized as preeminent centers for neurosciences, orthopedics, cancer care, cardiovascular care and high-risk obstetrics. Other areas of specialty include general surgery, robotic surgery, weight loss surgery, rehabilitation and critical care. Both hospitals are accredited by The Joint Commission, a national surveyor of quality patient care.

    —Frank Muir (b. 1920)

    It is unconscionable that we ration health care by the ability to pay.... your heart breaks. Health care should be a given.
