Santa Clara Valley Medical Center is Santa Clara County’s health care safety net – in more ways than one. Many people understand “safety net” means that county residents with no medical coverage or ability to pay can get needed medical care. And that certainly is part of our mission. But there are other, perhaps surprising ways in which your public hospital serves as a safety net for the entire community.
- Provides high-quality, specialized treatment for emergency medical care, trauma, burns and rehabilitation from severe injuries – in some cases the only such treatment in the region.
- Works and coordinates with other county agencies to plan and prepare for disasters – medical, natural or man-made.
- Devotes resources to expectant mothers, infants and children to ensure safe deliveries and the healthy development of the next generation.
We are about much more that quality medical care. Our complete approach to health starts with preventing illness and injury in the first place. We provide education and counseling to help people take charge of their own health, and take better care of themselves. And we see patients through their treatment, rehabilitation and beyond. We care for the whole person and we are looking out for the well-being of people in our community.
Supported by the latest in medical technology and modern facilities, our highly trained staff delivers quality and safe care with compassion and respect. As a teaching hospital, affiliated with Stanford and UC medical schools, the medical center attracts the finest physicians and young medical talent.
Santa Clara Valley Medical Center is a public hospital owned and operated by the County of Santa Clara.
