In late July, Stanford Health Care – ValleyCare changed its name to Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley to better align within Stanford Medicine and create a stronger, more seamless brand experience for its patients and communities. Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley provides high-quality care rooted in science and compassion to support the health and well-being of its community in the East Bay and beyond. The hospital is part of Stanford Medicine, which comprises the Stanford School of Medicine and care delivery systems for all ages and health needs. 

"This new name recognition helps better communicate the clear connection between our community-based hospital and the larger Stanford Medicine ecosystem and unifies the connection between entities," says Rick Shumway, President and CEO of Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley. "It reinforces our commitment to our community, and clearly allows our community to acknowledge their access to the power of Stanford Medicine." 

Earlier in July, Stanford Healthcare Tri-Valley, an existing Hacienda tenant, announced the purchase of a second property, a 197,200-square-foot, five-building office complex on Gibraltar Drive within Hacienda. The $58 million investment was significant in terms of the quality and complexity of health care services that the medical provider is planning to bring to meet the growing demand for its services. There will be no impact to the valued tenants that currently occupy the complex, according to the medical provider.

"In addition to allowing us to absorb the growth of our services, this purchase provides us the opportunity to explore key partnerships to bring further critical services to our region," according to executives. "It increases our prospects to consider research and education opportunities and supports our commitment as part of our strategic plan to expand comprehensive clinical services to support the residents of the East Bay and Tri-Valley regions over the next ten to twenty years."

As part of this commitment, the complex already includes the recently opened Stanford Medicine Partners Primary Care Center, a state-of-the-art facility that provides access to internal medicine, family medicine, and endocrinology, as well as laboratory, onsite X-ray, and ultrasound services, for a seamless and efficient patient experience. In 2015, Hacienda tenant ValleyCare and Stanford Health Care partnered to become Stanford Health Care – ValleyCare until the name change last month. 

"As we have expanded our footprint and services over the years, this bond with our patients and caregivers enables us to uphold our legacy of compassionate, human-focused care, one patient at a time," note executives. "The Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley name represents the next step in our evolution, recognizing our ability to bring the award-winning, high-quality care that our community has come to expect from us, made possible because of our relationship with Stanford Medicine. It connects the research, educational, and clinical expertise of Stanford Medicine to the treasured legacy of ValleyCare and our deep connection to the communities that we serve in the Tri-Valley region and beyond."
