Stanford Hospital & Clinics

What Stanford Hospital & Clinics does

Stanford Health Care (SHC), previously known as Stanford Hospital & Clinics, is the clinical care delivery component of Stanford Medicine, an academic medical center affiliated with Stanford University. SHC provides comprehensive healthcare services spanning primary care, specialty care, emergency services, Express Care urgent care clinics, video visits, and hospital-based care, with dedicated international patient services and second-opinion offerings. It serves patients across the San Francisco Bay Area — including through its regional entity Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley — and globally through international referral pathways.

The core product portfolio operates as a platform-plus-services model. The MyHealth patient portal (web, iOS, and Android) serves as the central digital hub for appointment scheduling, lab results, messaging, and bill payment, and integrates with Video Visits for telehealth. Clinical services include Primary Care, Specialty Care, Express Care, Clinical Trials, and Second Opinion consultations. Technology differentiators include a newly opened proton therapy facility (first patient treated June 4, 2026), proprietary AI models for disease risk prediction (including a model that predicts disease risk during sleep), and a blood test that reveals neighborhoods of cells in tumors and predicts immunotherapy response.

Revenue is generated through healthcare services billed primarily through insurance plans, with the organization accepting most insurance plans. The go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, with patient acquisition channels spanning physician referrals, primary care referrals, emergency services, self-referral for Express Care, video visits, and international patient services. SHC is structured as a nonprofit organization under Stanford Medicine, with subsidiaries including Stanford Medicine Partners (affiliated physician practice network) and Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley (regional hospital expansion).
