Doctors Medical Center is a full service, acute care hospital serving the residents of West Contra Costa for over 50 years. Supported by local taxes, DMC offers a full range of health services and accepts most insurance plans. Doctors Medical Center is owned and operated by the West Contra Costa Healthcare District.

In 1948, residents from El Cerrito/Kensington to Crockett formed the West Contra Costa Healthcare District in order to build Brookside Hospital. The hospital was leased to a for-profit organization in 1997, which changed the hospital's name to Doctors Medical Center. The Healthcare District resumed operations of the hospital on August 1, 2004 and re-established DMC as a non-profit community hospital.

DMC is the largest employer in the city of San Pablo and works closely with unions, community volunteers and other health organizations. In addition to active participation in a variety of community organizations, DMC offers an array of hospital sponsored events, focused on serving and educating West Contra Costa residents regarding health related issues. DMC also provides and supports ongoing education for employees, continuing education programs for physicians, and training opportunities for medical and nursing students.
