Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group

Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group is a large physician-led, nonprofit medical group affiliated with Palo Alto Medical Foundation and Sutter Health in Northern California. The organization provides commercial-stage healthcare delivery rather than drug development, offering primary care and a broad range of specialty and subspecialty services, along with imaging, laboratory, ambulatory surgery and related outpatient services. Public Sutter materials describe PAFMG as a long-established group with roughly 2,000 physicians and advanced practice clinicians serving patients across Silicon Valley and surrounding communities. Its focus is integrated care delivery, population health, patient access and multispecialty physician practice operations rather than a therapeutic R&D pipeline.
