Mountain View, CA – As a health system at the forefront of advancing the health and vitality of the Silicon Valley community, El Camino Health is proud to be the Principal Sponsor of the 2024 State of the Valley.
"As a community hospital that was created for this community and by this community, we are deeply invested in caring for the health of our region," said Dan Woods, chief executive officer at El Camino Health. "We have a longstanding commitment to helping those who call Santa Clara County home live their best lives. We are proud to support the State of the Valley because it provides an impactful opportunity to share ideas and collaborate with others who are working hard to improve our community for all."
The State of the Valley serves as a town hall meeting for citizens, business leaders, elected officials and others to come together to assess and build on Silicon Valley’s success and status as a diverse ecosystem and global hub of technology and innovation.
The hybrid event, which will take place at San José State University on Friday, Mar. 1, has long served as a barometer for the strength of the economic and community health of Silicon Valley, and a sounding board for new ideas to drive the region forward.
El Camino Health joins Lead Sponsor, Meta (parent company of Facebook), to support this day of discussion and collaboration guided by The Silicon Valley Index, a nationally-recognized publication that has been telling the story of Silicon Valley since 1995. The Index consists of hundreds of indicators that provide an analytical foundation to make plans and decisions for future growth.
"El Camino Health has continuously contributed to our region's innovative spirit through the advancement of the science of medicine by utilizing the latest technology, treatments, and techniques to provide patients with the highest quality care," Woods said. "Because of our legacy of innovation, we know firsthand that a thriving community fuels groundbreaking ideas and drives progress forward. Advancing community health of our region is crucial to ensuring that Silicon Valley remains the epicenter of innovation for generations to come."
