AS AN INDEPENDENT, NONPROFIT HOSPITAL,
WE ARE EMPOWERED TO DELIVER THE FINEST CARE, ANYWHERE.
WHATEVER IT TAKES.
OUR ATTITUDE
ISN’T JUST “CAN DO.”
IT’S “CAN DO BETTER.”

El Camino Hospital Auxiliary.
At El Camino Hospital, we believe it’s our responsibility to do whatever it takes to deliver
the finest possible medical care to the people we serve. As an independent, nonprofit
hospital, we are uniquely empowered to meet that challenge. Quite simply, we answer
to our colleagues and community rather than to corporate stakeholders. So we can keep
investing — and reinvesting — in the health of our patients. Here, ideas are conceived,
considered, planned and launched with remarkable speed and efficiency. Our exceptional environment attracts some of the world’s finest medical professionals, who are
free to collaborate and innovate to provide care that is truly above and beyond. Because
taking care of this community is more than a job: It’s an honor.

I look forward to helping you, your family
and friends, whatever your real estate needs!
“Dear Gwen, I am writing to thank you for selling our house for us last week, after 8 days on the market, well
over asking price. Those words don’t begin to capture the effort you made, the results you achieved, or the
grace and professionalism with which you managed the whole process – particularly in these uncertain times.
When we first decided to sell our house, we interviewed a few realtors. While all impressed us, you clearly led
the pack. Your energy and proposed strategy for preparing and marketing our house, all reassured us that you
would sell our house for the best possible price in this market. Our faith was rewarded. Your comprehensive
knowledge of the real estate market (and unbounded patience with us as we adjusted our expectations to meet
the realities of today’s market), unmatched standard of perfectionism and attention to detail, and endless
energy in helping us and your team to get everything done quickly and well, all led to the wonderful sale you
achieved. The result of your efforts was, quite simply, miraculous. You have a rare genius for what you do.”
— Most fondly and appreciatively, Sellers of 731 Gailen Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94303, 04/01/09

here’s simply so much going on in Mountain
View that there’s never enough room to get everything into print. But thanks to the Internet we
now have a spillover site with all you ever wanted
to know about Mountain View and surrounding
communities.
After you peruse the ninth annual INFO Mountain View (and set it aside for future reference),
you might want to visit www.paloaltoonline.com.
We’ve posted many more items (often from
surrounding communities), as well as maps of
school attendance-area boundaries and the Palo
Alto Baylands.
INFO Mountain View is filled with plenty of useful
data for just about anyone, from where to sign
up kids for dance classes or soccer teams to
programs for seniors and people of all ages. Or
you can find out how to reach city officials. Or
one can find the perfect contemplative park.
Our cover photo this year — mother and daughter Sandy and Allison Aratow in an AIDS-awareness bike ride — was shot by Staff Photographer
Michelle Le. If you’ve got content suggestions for
next year, please e-mail [email protected].
We appreciate your feedback.

There is a reason every one of our
physicians gave up their twenties,
and it wasn’t to become a common
doctor. We don’t punch clocks. We
don’t count patients per day. We are
the Palo Alto Medical Foundation.
We serve you by accepting more
insurance plans and with more
clinics throughout the Bay Area.
Together with our patients, we’re
improving the way health care is
delivered.
