Healthcare is undergoing unprecedented change. Our speakers, the leaders of Montage Health and CHOMP, provided an inside look at the state of healthcare in our region, the factors shaping access to care, and the importance of attracting world-class physicians to Monterey County. They discussed Montage Health’s commitment to clinical excellence, innovation, and physician engagement in helping ensure that residents had access to exceptional care without leaving the community. There had been several major recent enhancements at CHOMP, new equipment, specialists, and a plan for new construction on Carmel Rancho Blvd. These were detailed.
