VMC is the among the finest hospitals in Silicon Valley

The situation: Replace VMC or LOSE VMC.

All California hospitals must be able to withstand an 8.0 quake by 2013 or be shut down.

VMC replaced ½ its seismically outdated beds in 1999, built a new outpatient building 2005-2008, but had NO MONEY for the other 270 beds needed.

Price tag: $800,000,000.

When others tell your story, retell it!

What you can do with a little time…

iMovie, hi-def camera, obnoxious executive director

Facebook and Twitter. Kid stuff?

So, what’s the ROI here?

- Hon. Liz Kniss, President, Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors
