This month, Apple joined eBay, HP, Intel, Intuit and Oracle in an "unprecedented" joint philanthropic effort to help Stanford Medical Center build a new $2 billion hospital, designed to use the latest technology available in ways mirroring the innovation of Silicon Valley tech companies.
Members of the new Stanford Hospital Corporate Partners Program expect to contribute $150 million over the next decade and plan to raise an additional $400 million in private donation to construct the new project.
More than just contributing resources, the partners will work with New Stanford Hospital planners to develop innovative new approaches to providing patient access, information, education and navigation, a program that "has the ability to change the face of health care," according to Stanford Hospital president and chief executive Amir Dan Rubin.
The project balances new technical innovations with the goal of creating a healing environment "responsive to the emotional, social and psychological needs of patients, families, visitors, medical professionals and staff," said a report by the hospital.
The new complex will supply 600 beds, new intensive care and emergency services, state of the art imaging systems, and a garden floor supplying dining, conference and educational space.
