St. Joseph Mercy Oakland recognizes that people seek medical information on a variety of topics for a variety of reasons. To help provide additional clinical information, we have subscribed to the Coffey Communications health information library as a public service. In providing this service, however, St. Joseph does not condone or support all content covered in this site. As a Catholic health care organization, St. Joseph acts in accordance with the ethical and religious directives for Catholic health care services.

We strongly encourage you to consult your physician concerning any health information and its relevance to you.
