If you decided to delay your annual mammogram or colonoscopy in the early months of COVID-19, it’s time to reschedule those appointments. Don’t delay essential care like important cancer screenings. We urge you to prioritize your health.
In the newest edition of the Mission Hospital newsletter, we share the story of Dr. Sara Ramirez, OB-GYN, with Mission Heritage Medical Group helping one of her patients at second chance at a dream birth experience.

As serving patients continues to evolve each day, thank you to all of our dedicated and heroic primary care physicians with Mission Heritage! #NationalPrimaryCareWeek #NPCW2020
"The most gratifying aspects of primary care lie in building relationships with patients that give them a sense of being cared for as someone uniquely special. The current digital world can create a sense that everyone is the same like bricks, but in actuality we are each like stones, uniquely shaped. You can build a wall with either, but uniquely fitted stones have a power and a beauty that look like the human race.” Dr. Teresa Shields-Szabo
In honor of National Primary Care Week, Dr. Asad Bedran, Family Medicine Physician in #LagunaNiguel explains why selecting a Primarey Care Physician is so essential:
“I believe having a point of contact for your healthcare is very important. Having a PCP helps in the prevention of disease and offers any translation needed to clarify confusion for patients. I went into medicine to improve preventative measures and due to the untimely loss of a dear friend. Every day, my main goals are to treat every patient like family and help improve their quality of life." #NPCW2020

Although the vaccine is not being offered to the general public right now, we will keep you updated as vaccinations become more widely available. In the meantime, there is no need to contact us to schedule a vaccine appointment. We’ll reach out to you to ensure those who are eligible next are notified in a timely manner, and as supplies allow.
