Director of Strategy - San Ramon

San Ramon Medical Center

San Ramon Regional Medical Center has proudly served the San Ramon Valley and its surrounding communities for more than 30 years. In that time, we have expanded our services, upgraded our technology and grown our medical staff – all in an effort to provide an excellent patient experience.

Located on a hillside overlooking the San Ramon Valley, we are a 123-bed acute care hospital known for providing comprehensive inpatient, outpatient and emergency care. Our facilities include the Family Birthing Center, Outpatient Surgery Center, Breast Center, Infusion Center, Pleasanton Diagnostic Imaging Center, and Advanced Wound Center, which houses our hyperbaric oxygen therapy program.

San Ramon Regional Medical Center provides award-winning heart care programs, joint and spine treatment programs including advanced and minimally invasive surgical treatments, a Level II Special Care Nursery, minimally-invasive and robotic surgery, as well as pediatric services. We became the first hospital in the Bay Area to purchase the ExcelsiusGPS system to offer robotic-assisted spine surgery. We utilize our da Vinci Xi Surgical System for minimally invasive surgeries and our Mako System for advanced joint replacements. We offer a blood conservation program, unique to the region, and have a wonderful partnership with Donor Network West.
