MarinHealth is proud to announce that it has received three awards from Bay Area Parent Magazine’s recently published “Best of the Best” annual reader survey. The awards include Gold recognition for Best Hospital and Best Birth Center and Silver recognition for Best Pediatrician throughout the San Francisco and Marin regions.
