About Our Organization
Santa Clara Valley Healthcare (SCVH) is the second-largest County-owned health and hospital system in California and is committed to improving the health of the 1.9 million people of Santa Clara County. SCVH is comprised of three hospitals: Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC - a 731-bed central hospital), O'Connor Hospital (OCH - 358 licensed beds), and Saint Louise Regional Hospital (SLRH – 93 licensed beds). In addition, SCVH includes a network of primary care clinics comprised of eleven health centers throughout the County, several urgent care clinics, dental services, primary care behavioral health services, and a broad range of specialty services in our Valley Specialty Center.
SCVMC hosts four residency programs and one fellowship training program, and partners with Stanford University SOM and Stanford Healthcare for the clinical training of medical students, residents, and fellows. SCVMC is an ACS-verified Level 1 Trauma Center, a Level 2 Pediatric Trauma Center, an ABA-verified Burn Center, a Primary Stroke Center, a Level 4 NICU, and a nationally recognized CARF-accredited Rehabilitation Center. Owing to its geographic location and specialty offerings, SCVMC not only serves the County, but also the larger region.
SLRH functions as our community hospital for the South County and stands as the only acute care hospital for both Gilroy and Morgan Hill. This thriving community hospital is continually expanding, attracting an influx of newly hired doctors and nurses, along with dedicated community physicians. Additionally, the newly upgraded facility at Valley Health Center in Morgan Hill offers Urgent Care, a complete diagnostic center, and specialty clinics. Physicians here use the integrated electronic health record (Epic), which consolidates patient information across the system.
Providers in our health system also have the opportunity to use our integrated electronic health record (Epic), which brings together systemwide patient information. 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.
