Facility expansion will stimulate local economy and employ thousands of talented people

In these turbulent times, it’s good to know that Stanford Hospital & Clinics and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital are MAKING A DIFFERENCE by not only providing quality care to patients, but also serving the community and stimulating the economy. A new fiscal report shows that the hospital construction project will provide about $18 million in revenue to the city of Palo Alto. That’s on top of 2,200 new jobs! According to the study, the project “will provide a substantial and significant surplus to the city of Palo Alto that will offset potential deficits.”

The $3.5 billion Stanford University Medical Center (SUMC) Renewal Project will upgrade and expand the Hospitals as well as replace older laboratories at the School of Medicine. These improvements will allow the Hospitals to enhance their strong reputation in providing BETTER MEDICINE to the community.

At a time when the health-care industry is one of the few sectors of the economy that is continuing to make new hires, the report predicts that SUMC will have 2,243 additional employees by 2025. The number of annual outpatient visits to the Hospitals is estimated to increase by 42 percent during this time, ensuring a continuing need for quality-service providers at the Hospitals. Is it time for you to join the team that MAKES A DIFFERENCE?
