Sansum Clinic

Much of the nation’s healthcare industry is using AI to improve the quality of patient services. Tri-county health care providers are among them, including Dignity Health’s St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Oxnard, or look to be, such as Sutter Health’s Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara. “In the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, Sutter Health is committed to the thoughtful integration of emerging technologies like AI in healthcare and making sure proper safety and security measures are in place,” Laura Wilt, Sutter Health Chief Digital Officer, said in a June 17 statement to the Business Times. https://lnkd.in/gxFY6b9m

This August, Camp Wheez will be returning for its 47th year. Led by Dr. Myron Liebhaber from Sansum Clinic Allergy and Immunology, Camp Wheez is a free day camp for children ages 6-12 with asthma in Santa Barbara County. Camp Wheez was designed to support the special needs of its campers. In addition to the games and activities found in traditional summer camps, Camp Wheez provides fun and engaging asthma education. Throughout the week, physicians, nurses and respiratory care practitioners teach campers how to confidently manage their asthma so they can lead healthy, active lives. Camp Wheez is made possible by the many Sansum Clinic clinicians and staff and community members who volunteer their time and our generous donors who enable us to offer this program free-of-charge to the community. https://lnkd.in/gmEJpbSc #SansumClinic #SantaBarbara #ForYourGoodHealth #CampWheez #sbsummercamp

Join us in welcoming Mick Meiselman, MD, FASGE to Sansum Clinic. Dr. Meiselman is a fellowship-trained, nationally-recognized gastroenterologist with extensive training and expertise in endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). He is a fellow with the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) . EUS is a safe, minimally-invasive and highly-accurate form of advanced imaging that allows doctors to view, evaluate and better diagnose conditions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, esophagus, stomach, and nearby organs like the pancreas and liver. “Before recruiting Dr. Meiselman to Sansum Clinic, patients had to travel hours from Santa Barbara to receive this state-of-the-art imaging,” commented Kurt Ransohoff, M.D., FACP, President, Sutter Health Greater Central Coast Market. “Dr. Meiselman offers a valuable service to our community, and his hiring is a great example of how our partnership with Sutter Health further elevates the level of care and access we provide.” Dr. Meiselman will be working with Clinic and community gastroenterologists, surgeons, oncologists and doctors.
