Santa Clara Valley Healthcare (SCVH) is more than a hospital system—it’s the reason world-class trauma and emergency care are minutes away, not hours. It’s where breakthroughs in burn and rehabilitation restore lives, where behavioral health services keep families whole, and where tomorrow’s physicians are trained to serve our region.
This year, we’re changing the script—because the stakes have changed. The Valley Health Foundation Tribute to Heroes Gala: Save Our Local Hospitals is a black-tie evening where celebration meets urgent action. Together, we’ll raise hope, resources, and resolve to keep lifesaving care close to home for everyone in Santa Clara County.
Why this matters now
- Protect emergency & trauma capacity. When SCVH is strong, every ER in our county runs better. If our safety-net hospitals are forced to scale back, neighboring ERs and ICUs will be overwhelmed, putting all patients at risk.
- Safeguard specialized services. Burn, trauma, rehabilitation, and behavioral health programs—services our community relies on—must remain accessible.
- Keep care local and equitable. SCVH provides high-quality care across 15+ community health centers and our hospital network, ensuring families get the right care at the right time.
About the evening
Join Silicon Valley’s healthcare leaders, business partners, elected officials, donors, and advocates for an elegant evening at the Signia Hilton featuring:
- Gourmet cuisine, fine wines, and live entertainment
- Moving stories of lives changed by care only SCVH can provide
- A program honoring the extraordinary people who make this care possible
