A newly constructed office building on John Drive will soon be filled with doctors, nurses, and specialists from Stanford Health Care, the company said last week. In a letter to its patient subscribers, the health care provider said its two Bay Valley Medical Group offices would be consolidating into the Castro Valley location just off Castro Valley Boulevard starting on August 30. The Bay Valley office on Stanton Avenue is currently less than a mile away. The Group’s Hayward office near St. Rose Hospital on Calaroga Avenue will remain open for primary care services only and about four doctors will rotate between the new building and the Hayward office to see patients. The combined clinics will be renamed Stanford Medicine Partners, Primary and Specialty Care Castro Valley.
“Although we are consolidating these two clinics into the new building and under one name, we want to assure you that you will still find the same providers you’ve come to trust, and access to the vast network of resources of Stanford Health Care,” the company said in a statement. The announcement said its services at the new Castro Valley location would expand to include imaging (such as X-Ray, MRI, CT Scan, 3D mammography), on-site laboratory, pediatric and adult primary care, OB/GYN (obstetrics and gynecology), general surgery, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and podiatry. A so-called Express Care office for handling urgent matters will also be opening at the John Street office around September 20. As part of Stanford Medicine, Stanford Health Care is also affiliated with the Stanford University School see STANFORD on page 4
