States.
About the organization
Santa Clara Valley Health and Hospital System (SCVHHS) is the
second-largest County-owned health and hospital system in
California and is committed to improving the health of the 1.8
million people of Santa Clara County. As of March 2019, SCVHHS is
comprised of three hospitals: Santa Clara Valley Medical Center
(SCVMC - a 574-bed central hospital), OConnor Hospital (OCH), and
Saint Louise Regional Hospital (SLRH); in addition SCVHHS includes
a large primary care network comprised of nine health centers
throughout the County (including our newest center in downtown San
Jose, which opened in 2016), several urgent care clinics, a
broad-range of specialty services in our Valley Specialty Center,
comprehensive dental services, a large behavioral health
department, public health, EMS, and Valley Health Plan.
SCVMC itself hosts five residency training programs and partners
with Stanford University Medical Center for the training of
residents and fellows in many Stanford-based specialties. SCVMC
also features a Level 1 Trauma Center, Burn Center, Primary Stroke
Center, and a CARF-accredited Rehabilitation Center. Owing to its
geographic location and specialty offerings, SCVMC not only serves
the County, but also the larger region.
Providers in our health system also have the unique opportunity to
use our integrated electronic health record (Epic), which brings
together system-wide patient information. Recently, the Health
Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) recognized SCVMC for
achieving its highest level of success (Stage 7), based on our
continuous innovation and optimization of our inpatient and
outpatient EHR.

SCVMC is located in San Jose, California in the heart of Silicon
Valley, offering a diverse choice of cultural, recreational, and

communities, including urban (e.g., San Francisco), university
(e.g., Palo Alto), high tech (e.g., many cities of Silicon Valley),
mountain (e.g., Los Gatos), beach (e.g. Santa Cruz), and
rural/agricultural (e.g., Gilroy). Situated in one of the most
desirable regions of the country only 45 minutes from the Monterey
Bay and three hours from the Sierra Nevada our physicians enjoy a
very high quality of life.
