Sutter Health President and CEO Warner Thomas called the facility the “digital hospital of the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today marks a turning point … for the future of health care here in Santa Clara and in Silicon Valley,” Thomas said, describing the new 272-bed hospital, which will replace an existing office park at 2831 and 2841 Mission College Blvd. “This will be the largest investment in the history of Sutter Health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new facility, slated to open in late 2031, will feature all private patient rooms, a full-service emergency department, intensive care units, advanced operating rooms and a Level III neonatal intensive care unit. Officials emphasized that the investment is designed to fill a critical gap in a region underserved by health systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking at Monday’s event, Santa Clara County Supervisor Susan Ellenberg described the county’s emergency response system as being “under extraordinary strain,” noting that the county has the second-lowest ratio of ER treatment stations per resident in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This level of demand clearly cannot be sustained by county facilities alone,” Ellenberg said. “The addition of a Sutter Health Medical Center … will help reduce the enormous pressure on county-operated facilities. It will also improve ambulance response times, access to care and provide more options for people who depend on us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas reinforced the point, stating that the county’s hospital infrastructure has not “kept pace” with the region’s growth, lagging behind state and national averages for beds per capita.[aside postID=news_12062794 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/251104-MEASUREA-JG-1_qed.jpg']Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor called Sutter’s expansion “a very exciting day for Santa Clara” and a key step in meeting the needs of a growing population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The addition of the Sutter Health Hospital expands access, it increases capacity and gives our residents more choice, ensuring that more families can receive excellent care right here in Santa Clara, close to home,” Gillmor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project, which includes the recently opened Sutter East Santa Clara Care Center, will create hubs for specialty care in cancer, women’s health and orthopedics. It will be integrated with the Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group to help with recruitment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the 29 years I’ve worked here [in Santa Clara County], we haven’t had good enough access for our patients,” said Dr. Kurt VandeVort, CEO of PAFMG. “This is really a landmark investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative also includes a significant focus on workforce development. Thomas announced a new, multimillion-dollar partnership with the Santa Clara Unified School District to create “Health Career Pathways” to help prepare students for careers in health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SCUSD Superintendent Damon Wright said the collaboration would provide students with “hands-on, real-world experiences” and training for certification-eligible roles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutter also plans to expand its Graduate Medical Education programs, aiming to train 1,000 residents and fellows annually by 2030, and is partnering with the West Valley-Mission Community College District on nursing and emergency services programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to an independent analysis by \u003ca href=\"https://www.ey.com/en_us\">EY\u003c/a>, the new facilities are projected to support more than 5,000 jobs by 2031.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This new medical center and the broader Santa Clara project represent a promise to this community to make accessing sought-after health care so much easier,” said Dr. Rebecca Fazilat, Board Chair of PAFMG.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Supporters of Measure A billed the measure as an opportunity for residents of the liberal county to push back against Republicans in Washington. The campaign closely aligned its messaging with the successful measure to redraw the state’s congressional lines to help Democrats win control of the U.S. House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is affirmation that the people of Santa Clara County are going to determine their own future, and they’ve decided that we will not allow for our health care system to go down,” Duong told KQED. “Had we not had the results we had tonight, had Measure A gone the other way, we would be looking at which hospital to close right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers of Measure A acknowledged the new revenue would not fully make up for the loss of federal funding. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act that Trump signed this summer is expected to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1997707/how-will-trumps-mega-bill-impact-health-care-in-california\">reduce the number of people\u003c/a> eligible for Medicaid, known as Medi-Cal in California. As a result, the county will receive fewer direct payments and reimbursements for services, and county leaders said cuts to county health services are likely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The road ahead of us is daunting,” said Santa Clara County Executive James Williams. “We are facing hundreds of millions in cuts even with the passage of Measure A, but this gives us the fight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12016848\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12016848\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-1230183080.jpg\" alt=\"A large hospital building that says 'Santa Clara Valley Medical Center' in front.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-1230183080.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-1230183080-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-1230183080-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-1230183080-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santa Clara Valley Medical Center stands on 751 South Bascom Avenue in San José on Sept. 29, 2025. \u003ccite>(Neal Waters/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Still, Measure A supporters argued the sales tax would allow the county to keep all four of its public hospitals open. In recent years, the county expanded its health system beyond Valley Medical Center to acquire struggling hospitals in the region: O’Connor Hospital and Regional Medical Center in San José and St. Louise Regional Hospital in Gilroy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politicians from across the South Bay’s political spectrum endorsed Measure A, including Assemblymember Patrick Ahrens, Rep.

They also argued a sales tax would fall disproportionately on lower-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents also questioned the long-term viability of the county’s health system after the Medicaid cuts.

County leaders \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12051250/santa-clara-county-voters-could-pay-more-sales-tax-due-to-trump-cuts\">placed it on the ballot\u003c/a> after President Donald Trump approved cuts to Medicaid and SNAP that will reduce county revenues by $1 billion a year by the end of the decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Home to four public hospitals, Santa Clara County \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12059539/with-measure-a-santa-clara-county-hopes-to-keep-hospitals-afloat\">was uniquely vulnerable\u003c/a> to the historic cuts to Medicaid, the nation’s health care program for low-income residents and people with disabilities. Supporters of Measure A billed the measure as an opportunity for residents of the liberal county to push back against Republicans in Washington. The campaign closely aligned its messaging with the successful measure to redraw the state’s congressional lines to help Democrats win control of the U.S. House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is affirmation that the people of Santa Clara County are going to determine their own future, and they’ve decided that we will not allow for our health care system to go down,” Duong told KQED. “Had we not had the results we had tonight, had Measure A gone the other way, we would be looking at which hospital to close right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers of Measure A acknowledged the new revenue would not fully make up for the loss of federal funding. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act that Trump signed this summer is expected to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1997707/how-will-trumps-mega-bill-impact-health-care-in-california\">reduce the number of people\u003c/a> eligible for Medicaid, known as Medi-Cal in California. As a result, the county will receive fewer direct payments and reimbursements for services, and county leaders said cuts to county health services are likely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The road ahead of us is daunting,” said Santa Clara County Executive James Williams. “We are facing hundreds of millions in cuts even with the passage of Measure A, but this gives us the fight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12016848\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12016848\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-1230183080.jpg\" alt=\"A large hospital building that says 'Santa Clara Valley Medical Center' in front.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-1230183080.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-1230183080-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-1230183080-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-1230183080-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santa Clara Valley Medical Center stands on 751 South Bascom Avenue in San José on Sept. 29, 2025. \u003ccite>(Neal Waters/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Still, Measure A supporters argued the sales tax would allow the county to keep all four of its public hospitals open.

For the first time, the 2026 Pro Bowl Games will be relocated to Super Bowl week, taking place at San Francisco’s Moscone Center. A new Super Bowl LX Innovation Summit focused on technology will also be held at SFMOMA during the week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we return to the Bay Area for Super Bowl LX, a decade after Super Bowl 50, we’re fully embracing the region’s unique energy and building something that feels true to the Bay,” said Peter O’Reilly, the NFL’s executive vice president of club business, major events and international, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That energy, according to BAHC President and CEO Zaileen Janmohamed, comes from the region’s distinct character.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Bay Area is made up of nine counties … All counties have their own vibe, culture, and way that they behave every single day,” Janmohamed said at a virtual press conference on Monday. “And our job is to showcase that out to the world and then to bring the Super Bowl in to unite the region through that event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12062834\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12062834\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/006_KQED_SuperBowl_AlabamaSt_02022020_1255_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/006_KQED_SuperBowl_AlabamaSt_02022020_1255_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/006_KQED_SuperBowl_AlabamaSt_02022020_1255_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/006_KQED_SuperBowl_AlabamaSt_02022020_1255_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">49ers fans at Pops Bar during the Super Bowl on Sunday in San Francisco’s Mission District. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>O’Reilly called the Pro Bowl Games at Moscone a “significant deal” that serves as a major community engagement opportunity. The event will bring 88 of the NFL’s top players to the region to participate in a multi-day skills competition and a 7-on-7 flag football game, rather than a traditional tackle game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Reilly emphasized the value of having that level of “star power” concentrated in the Bay, actively engaging in both fan activities and community events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the heart of that Pro Bowl Games decision is all the momentum that exists around flag football,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That focus on broad fan access extends to the week’s other main events. The Super Bowl Experience at the Moscone Center from Feb. 3–7, which O’Reilly called an “NFL theme park,” will be free for kids 12 and under. The week will also feature multiple music events, including the BAHC Live! Concert Series at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and On Location’s Studio 60 Concert Series at the Palace of Fine Arts.[aside postID=news_11975357 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/240210-NANCY-PELOSI-SEATMATE-MD-01-KQED-1020x680.jpg']While San Francisco will host the main fan festival, the week’s festivities will officially begin in the South Bay. Super Bowl Opening Night is set for the San José Convention Center on Feb. 2. Janmohamed called this a deliberate “decision of inclusivity across the region.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision was also logistical. John Poch, executive director of the San José Sports Authority, confirmed that both participating teams will be practicing in the South Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By having it here in San José makes it very accessible for both teams,” Poch said, adding it’s a “five-minute walk” for one team. He said the goal is to “create a Super Bowl experience for those that can’t go to the game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond fan events, Janmohamed said the committee is leaning into the region’s identity as the “innovation capital of the world.” She noted that the Innovation Summit at SFMOMA was a foundational idea for the bid. “You can’t come into the Bay Area and not talk about technology innovation,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though primary events are concentrated in San José and San Francisco, the BAHC has partnered with Visit Oakland and an East Bay Coalition representing Berkeley, Pleasant Hill, the Tri-Valley and Walnut Creek.

Super Bowl Opening Night is set for the San José Convention Center on Feb. 2. Janmohamed called this a deliberate “decision of inclusivity across the region.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision was also logistical. John Poch, executive director of the San José Sports Authority, confirmed that both participating teams will be practicing in the South Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By having it here in San José makes it very accessible for both teams,” Poch said, adding it’s a “five-minute walk” for one team. He said the goal is to “create a Super Bowl experience for those that can’t go to the game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond fan events, Janmohamed said the committee is leaning into the region’s identity as the “innovation capital of the world.” She noted that the Innovation Summit at SFMOMA was a foundational idea for the bid. “You can’t come into the Bay Area and not talk about technology innovation,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though primary events are concentrated in San José and San Francisco, the BAHC has partnered with Visit Oakland and an East Bay Coalition representing Berkeley, Pleasant Hill, the Tri-Valley and Walnut Creek.

He has also pressed for increased safety measures for bicyclists and pedestrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m very excited, of course, for myself and my ability to continue to serve on the CAC and be able to speak out on behalf of San Mateo residents, but I also think it’s a victory for San Mateo County residents,” Swire said. “The vote affirms our advisory committee’s role as an independent watchdog.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The discussion over whether Swire should be reappointed ended up largely focused on fresh concerns about a lack of transparency in the process of interviewing and selecting committee members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board members Rico Medina, who is also the mayor of San Bruno, and Mark Nagales, a council member in South San Francisco, voted against renewing Swire’s term, saying they had concerns that his advocacy work didn’t fit with his role as an advisory body member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11946829\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11946829 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/04/IMG_2751-scaled-e1752264067878.jpg\" alt=\"Ten people stand in a row with a freeway behind them as they cut a blue ribbon and smile.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The ribbon-cutting ceremony officially inaugurating the San Mateo 101 express lanes, with (sixth from left) San Bruno Mayor Rico Medina, Assemblymember Diane Papan (third from right) and Rep.

The third member of the subcommittee, Board Chair Carlos Romero, a council member in East Palo Alto, supported Swire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swire said that Romero told him one of the reasons he was targeted in the nominating subcommittee is that he showed up to a 2023 event celebrating the completion of a Highway 101 widening and express lane project to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11946820/san-mateo-101-express-lanes-officially-opened-with-ceremony-but-critics-say-traffic-and-pollution-will-be-worse\">voice his opposition\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That project added a new express lane to 22 miles of 101 between the Santa Clara County line and Interstate 380, near the San Francisco International Airport. Swire has also opposed a continuation of that work, which would extend the new lanes and widen north of 380.[aside postID=news_12046673 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/ChristinaCorpusGetty-1020x678.jpg']He has also spoken out at San Mateo City Council meetings against a project that would add a direct connector from the 101 express lane to Highway 92.

Republic Services \u003ca href=\"https://investor.republicservices.com/news-releases/news-release-details/republic-services-inc-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024\">reported\u003c/a> a net income of around $500 million for the first three months of 2025 alone.[aside postID=news_12046134 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250626-SJBBB-JG-5-KQED.jpg']“Your management is getting these big bonuses and these guys want to come in and lowball you,” Gomez said. “And it’s pretty much like a slap in the face.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for Republic Services responded in a statement, apologizing for “this inconvenience,” also stating that the company is “ready to continue discussions with the union to reach an agreement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affected areas include Half Moon Bay, Daly City, San José and many cities in the East Bay, like Piedmont and Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gomez said tangible impacts of the strike aren’t just from the absence of trash pickups alone, but also from drivers who are honoring the picket line by abstaining from transporting waste to landfills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Bay Area is pretty solid when it comes to labor workers, and they’re real supportive,” Gomez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regarding residents’ reactions to the garbage buildup, Gomez said, despite expressing concern, they have been supportive of the workers’ strike overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope they get what they’re asking for,” said Michael Chang, a Daly City resident. His street’s regular trash pickup day is Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chang admitted his surprise when Thursday morning rolled around and his street was still lined with trash bins. But he believes “the real fundamental issue is with the company.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If there’s a strike or anything like that, I think it just kind of breaks the system,” Chang said. “And there’s no alternative option.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chang said that although the trash buildup hasn’t caused any significant smells or inconveniences, he can expect that to change should the strike persist through the week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s also going to start causing some parking issues, maybe people will have to start moving neighbors’ trash cans to park their cars,” Chang said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he may end up taking his trash out to the landfill himself, but he’s trying to avoid that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brenda Muñoz is the UC Berkeley Labor Center’s executive director. She said this effort sheds an important light on the role that essential workers play, but also on the broader implications of private companies leveraging power over those workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She asked, “How do you boast about your company doing well if workers are being left behind, and not keeping up with the pace of that growth from the company?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muñoz emphasized the increasingly steep costs of living in California, particularly the Bay Area, as a driving force behind the necessity of striking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that where essential workers are otherwise invisible, actions like this one bring their significance to light, and there exists the “valid concern that they should be making more in the face of increasing costs of living and the company making a good profit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muñoz, like Chang, has also been directly impacted by the strike. She lives in Hercules, and said her area, rife with raccoons, has experienced trash pileup this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Trash picked up is a benefit that we get,” Muñoz said. “But it doesn’t come to us without also seeing that the workers get their fair share.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

She lives in Hercules, and said her area, rife with raccoons, has experienced trash pileup this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Trash picked up is a benefit that we get,” Muñoz said. “But it doesn’t come to us without also seeing that the workers get their fair share.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
