Unique Among Public Hospitals
Our innovative approaches, collaborative environment, and progressive suburban setting make us unique among public hospitals. Our hospital and eleven community clinics are located on the peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our medical center is on a human scale—large enough but not too large and impersonal, and we’re proud of our family atmosphere.
Culturally Diverse
We treat a culturally diverse group of working families with complex and challenging needs. We are leaders in language access and are one of the first medical centers in the nation to implement real-time voice and video language interpretation.
Focused on Quality
We are committed to the delivery of excellent, high quality
healthcare. We welcome the periodic surveys of regulatory
agencies as opportunities to highlight the excellent care
we provide on a daily basis.
