Get to know Internist Dr. Jason Gritti, who serves patients in Sacramento, California.

Named on Sacramento Magazine’s Top Doctors List (2021), Dr. Gritti is a highly trained internist. He serves as the Assistant Chief of Adult and Family Medicine at South Sacramento Medical Center, which is a part of Kaiser Permanente.

“I chose Kaiser Permanente as my place to practice medicine as I truly believe that it is a place where patient needs are a top priority. The goal is to work with each patient to help them be as healthy as they can be. With some exceptions, I believe people create and are responsible for their own health. I can advise and treat, but ultimately each of us are responsible for our own basic healthcare issues. We create our own health through a healthy plant-based diet, exercise, rest, and hydration. We also have to try avoiding those things that can make us sick (ex: smoking, processed food, inactivity)” expressed the doctor. 

Passionate about preventative medicine and physical fitness, Dr. Gritti also wants members to know that he is an LGBTQ+ knowledgeable provider who continues to learn of the unique needs in the community. His philosophy of care is one where ownership and honesty are key, striving to create a health care plan that both the patient and the doctor can agree on for long-term success.

A native of Minneapolis, Minnesota, it is there that Dr. Gritti did his undergraduate training and completed his master’s programs. He then went on to earn his medical degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine, after which he performed his medical residency training at SUNY Health Science Center at Brooklyn in New York.

With a commitment to his speciality, he is board-certified in internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Holding various additional degrees and certifications, Dr. Gritti has an MBA and a MA in Public Health Management, he is a Certified Clinical Research Professional through the Society of Clinical Research Associates, a Certified Massage Therapist through Sister Rosalind Gefre School of Massage Therapy, and a Certified Personal Trainer through the International Sport Science Association.

Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being.

Among Dr. Gritti’s philanthropic endeavors include Doctors Without Borders and Sacramento LGBT Community Center.

An avid reader, he is currently reading The Hidden Brain and The Power of Moments. His favorite place to vacation is in Italy.
