Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley
A Rich 60+ Year History of Quality Care—A Thriving Future
In the 1950s, St. Paul’s Hospital in Livermore proved too small for the communities of Livermore and Pleasanton. People grew weary of traveling to Oakland for health care, so local residents worked together to raise enough money, along with federal grants, to build Valley Memorial Hospital on land donated by Kaiser Paving Company in Livermore. Valley Memorial opened its doors in October 1961 with 46 beds and a medical staff of 23. As the Tri-Valley community grew, so did Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley, adding new facilities, programs, and services in Livermore, Pleasanton, and Dublin.
In 2015, Stanford Health Care and Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley became partners to grow the depth of services and expertise available to the growing community. Today, Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley combines the expertise of local physicians with the unique strengths of Stanford Medicine, serving the fast-growing region.
Expanding Specialized Care and the Role of “Hospitalist”
Recognizing this growth early on, Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley announced that Stanford Medicine physicians would provide expanded complex care services, clinical innovations, and research opportunities for patients in the Tri-Valley area. An example is the advance of gynecologic cancer care that includes fully integrated services such as radiation therapy, surgery, hematology, and a range of patient and family resources through its connection with the Stanford Cancer Institute. Beyond oncology, stroke care is an emphasis, with “telestroke” telemedicine services coming on line soon to help people respond to early warning signs.
Stanford hospitalists provide 24/7 care for inpatients. Specialists in dermatology, gastroenterology, gynecologic oncology, hepatology, infectious diseases, radiation oncology, urologic oncology, urology, and vascular surgery will see patients at clinic locations in Pleasanton and Livermore.
The Stanford Hospitalist group at Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley has continued to grow and support the other Stanford services coming to the Tri-Valley. The group actively advances all of Stanford’s missions: education, quality improvement, research, and clinical care.
The Right Infrastructure and Management
Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley is upgrading its current facilities, and beginning plans for a new medical office building, set to offer specialized services previously unavailable in the area before the partnership with Stanford Medicine.
On the management front in 2017, Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley hired a new Chief Operating Officer, Tracey Lewis Taylor, formerly from New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and a new Chief Medical Officer, Dr. David Svec, who also serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Stanford Health Care and as Medical Director of the Hospitalist Team at Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley.
As a testament to Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley’s commitment to a digitally driven future, the hospital integrated the Epic® electronic health record (EHR) system, the platform used by Stanford Health Care.
