A new building on Stanford Medicine’s Redwood City campus will house primary care, women’s health, cardiovascular care and other specialties.
A medical office building under construction on Stanford Medicine’s Redwood City campus will improve access to care for residents in San Mateo County and beyond with offices for clinician visits; a pharmacy; and space for procedural, laboratory and imaging services.
“Over the years, we have been honored to partner with local government, nonprofit organizations and regional health systems to help identify and meet the most pressing needs of residents of Redwood City and San Mateo County,” said David Entwistle, president and CEO of Stanford Health Care. “With this new, state-of-the-art facility, we are opening the next chapter in this special relationship and bolstering our support of the health, healing and well-being of these communities.”
The building, expected to open its doors in late 2027, will be Stanford Medicine’s first all-electric building. It will feature solar panels and an interior that can be easily transformed when needs change, and it will be disaster ready — containing a floodwater detention system and designed to withstand a major earthquake.
During a dedication ceremony May 28 at the construction site near Broadway and Woodside Road, Redwood City Mayor Elmer Martínez Saballos praised the building’s sustainability: “From bike parking and EV charging to solar panels and open space, this is the kind of forward-thinking development we’re proud to have here in Redwood City,” he said.
Patients will receive care in specialties including primary care, OB-GYN, cardiology, urology, LGBTQ+, rheumatology, endocrinology, immunology and nephrology. They will also be able pick up prescriptions, get mammograms and other imaging, undergo outpatient procedures, and receive physical therapy.
“At Stanford Medicine, our mission is to improve human health — locally and globally — and that service begins in our neighboring communities,” said Lloyd Minor, MD, dean of the Stanford School of Medicine and vice president for medical affairs for Stanford University. “By expanding our network in Redwood City, this new facility reaffirms our commitment to providing specialized, high-tech and compassionate care to our patients where they live, work and play.”
At the dedication, San Mateo County Supervisor Lisa Gauthier noted that Stanford Medicine has cultivated long-standing partnerships with local nonprofits and community clinics, “bringing Stanford-quality care to our most vulnerable residents, including those living in historically underserved neighborhoods like North Fair Oaks.”
The new building will allow for the expansion of some specialties and for others to relocate from outdated facilities in Palo Alto, said Timothy Morrison, senior vice president of service lines and chief of ambulatory care operations at Stanford Health Care.
“We’re excited to offer expanded services — and more locations for those services — to our community,” Morrison said. “Stanford Health Care patients can now visit Redwood City for more of the same high-quality care they receive in Palo Alto.”
