Our Reputation

Stanford Hospital and Clinics is known worldwide for advanced patient care provided by its passionate physicians and staff, particularly for the treatment of rare, complex disorders such as:

• Cardiac care
• Cancer Treatment
• Neuroscience
• Surgery
• Organ transplants

Throughout our history, we have pioneered medical advances that save lives and protect against disease, including the first successful adult human heart transplant in the country and the first combined heart-lung transplant in the world.

As part of the Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford Hospital & Clinics has a close relationship with both the Stanford University School of Medicine, the oldest medical school in the Western United States, and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, an adjacent pediatric teaching hospital providing general acute and tertiary care.

Stanford's ability to provide state-of-the-art care is enhanced by the close collaboration among these entities and their mutual commitment to patient care.

Every year, U.S. News & World Report identifies the top hospitals in 16 specialties in the United States. Stanford Hospital & Clinics is recognized as one of "America's Best Hospitals" and currently ranked #13 in the U.S.
