DeVry University
Stanford Hospitals and Clinics are leaders in human health care on a local, national and global scale. Stanford was ranked number 15 of top 20 hospitals in America and number one amongst all hospitals in the San Jose metropolitan area. For the tenth time Stanford also made the U.S News hospitals Honor Roll, ranking among the top in ten specialties; cancer, cardiology and heart surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, urology, rheumatology, gynecology, orthopedics, and psychiatry (Stanford Medicine). Stanford is a pioneer in both adult and pediatric quality patient health care.
Stanford Medicine consists of three main components, the Stanford School of Medicine, Stanford Hospitals and Clinics and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. One of the main advantages that the Stanford Medical Center has is that it is located on the schools main campus in Palo Alto, California. This gives it an upper hand in the way that the new knowledge can be applied to help prevent, diagnose and treat human health.
The Stanford School of Medicine is the oldest medical school in the western United States. It was also ranked number four by USNWR for 2012 (Stanford Medicine). It is recognized as one of the top research institutions in the world. Stanford hospitals and clinics are able to turn medical research and knowledge into high quality patient care. The hospital is fundamental in the training of the medical professionals because it provides a clinical environment that allows researchers to translate new knowledge into patient care.
Stanford Clinics provide top quality care through 15 locations on campus and throughout the Bay area. Clinics participate in preferred health care programs as well as Medical and Medicare. Stanford is dedicated to providing high quality health care for local patients who live in the area as well as patients who traveled from all over the world
