Stanford Health Care Careers in Palo Alto, CA

From the very beginning, Stanford Health Care has been a home for passionate achievers. Across every discipline and at every level, our people have advanced medicine in ways few thought were possible. In our more than 160-year history, we have seen so many firsts. In 1956, our team treated a tumor with the Western Hemisphere’s first nuclear linear accelerator, a device that now serves as the cornerstone of cancer treatment. We performed California’s first kidney transplant in 1960, and eight years later our team performed the first successful adult human heart transplant in the United States. Decades later, we continue to work at the forefront of health care, developing new imaging capabilities in 2008 to illuminate tumors in vivo with the precision of one-trillionth of a meter, and in 2010, discovering how to use a healthy person’s genome sequence to predict disease risk.
