rehab; oncology; orthopedic services; vascular
care; advanced medical imaging; emergency
care; and a Wound Care Clinic with 18 private
rooms and state-of-the-art equipment that offers
the latest in hyperbaric medicine.
Saint Louise Regional Hospital (SLRH) is a 93-bed
acute care facility that has been providing the
growing communities of south Santa Clara County
and north San Benito County with many distinct
programs and services since 1989. We have the
busiest emergency department in the county, with
CALSTAR emergency helicopter transport on the
premises. SLRH also provides the latest minimally

general medicine covering specialties that are not
often seen in a small community hospital; maternal
and child health services; and wound care and
hyperbaric medicine with two hyperbaric oxygen
chambers on site. There are more than 170
highly trained physicians on staff at Saint Louise.
Founded as Mary’s Help Hospital in 1893, Seton
Medical Center serves the people of San Francisco
and San Mateo Counties with a comprehensive
range of inpatient and outpatient health care
services. We are committed to providing quality
care to the sick, poor and underserved. Our
delivery of health care is guided by a strong
commitment to treating the whole person – body,
mind and spirit.
Founded in 1889 and named for our benefactors,
Judge Myles O’Connor and his wife Amanda,
OCH began as “a sanitarium for the sick, a home
for the aged, an asylum for orphans and a
school for children.” Today, we are the only
Catholic hospital in San Jose.
Guided by our values-driven Mission of providing
compassionate care to the whole person, body,
mind and spirit, staff are committed to excellence
and the highest quality that demonstrates to
patients, families and our community that we are
the best place in San Jose to receive health care
and to work.
The Joint Commission awarded O’Connor Hospital
the Gold Seal of Approval as a Primary Stroke
Center. Additionally, O’Connor is certified by
The Joint Commission as a Center of Excellence
for Hip Replacement and Knee Replacement. Our
Emergency Department features 21 beds, boardcertified physicians and specialty-trained nurses.
OCH is home to the only Family Medicine
residency program in the area, affiliated with
Stanford University.
In keeping with the Mission of the Daughters
of Charity to provide care to those who need
it most, we sponsor the Pediatric Center for
Life, the Family Health Center Residency Clinic, a
Parish Nursing program, Meals on Wheels and
many other community health initiatives.
Our BreastCare Center, located in a private suite
on campus, provides mammography and advanced methods of cancer detection. The center
also offers bone-density screening and an
up-to-date reference library. SLRH has some of the
most advanced diagnostic equipment available,
including the state-of-the-art 64-slice CT scanner,
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound,
nuclear medicine and CADS, a computer-aided
detection system that aids Radiologists in reading
mammograms.
Committed to being the center for health and
healing in the community, we strive to increase
community outreach and health education. We
offer Diabetes Education classes in both Spanish
and English; an outpatient Nutritional Counseling
Program; and many other classes and support
groups. SLRH also sponsors community events
such as the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival and the
Morgan Hill Health and Wellness Fair.
SLRH offers free health screenings at various
locations and businesses, and provides flu shots
to seniors free of charge.
Being a values-driven organization, we are
committed to ministering to those we serve
with compassion and dignity. Today, our fully
accredited, not-for-profit, 357-bed facility, with
over 500 physicians, offers the most advanced
medical/surgical procedures, treatment options
and comprehensive health care services available.
The San Francisco Heart & Vascular Institute, a
Center of Excellence at Seton, has been recognized by major insurance carriers for “expertise
and institutional commitment in providing integrated cardiac care that meets high standards.”
Seton Medical Center provides advanced
medical programs in many specialties, and our
cornerstone services include the San Francisco
Spine Institute, orthopedics and joint replacement,
robotic surgery, and oncology, each with clinical
outcomes among the best in the nation.
In keeping with the Daughters of Charity
Mission to provide quality, accessible health care
services to our community, our St. Elizabeth Ann

perinatal program to low-income women.
After 110 years of caring, Seton’s medical
