  • Tri-Valley hospital to expand

    A three-story wing to be added to the Pleasanton hospital will allow for an expanded emergency department and more room for other support services.

  • Different ways to manage food allergies

    Children with several food allergies have a variety of treatment options, including the medication omalizumab and oral immunotherapy, a new clinical trial led by Stanford Medicine has found.

  • Pinpointing cancer-fighting antibodies

    Antibody therapies show limited success in solid tumors. A new imaging technique developed at Stanford Medicine that locates antibodies at subcellular resolution in human tumors hints at why.


Although the leadership of Stanford Health Care and Stanford University work in close partnership, the hospital and university are separate legal entities. Stanford Health Care cannot access the university’s endowment, nor is the endowment part of the hospital's budget.
