In 1855 the first six patients were cared for in a converted house near the Guadalupe River in downtown San Jose. In 1876, the first hospital building was completed at the present site. Today our new facility stands on those same grounds and offers a wide variety of medical services. Santa Clara Valley Medical Center cares for thousands of hospitalized patients and provides treatment for a half-million outpatient and emergency visits annually. Make a Difference - Volunteer Volunteers at SCVMC are a positive, well-trained presence in the hospital and clinics. They make patients their top priority and serve as one team working together for the good of the patients, visitors and staff. Volunteers The Volunteer Services Department has two programs: The Adult Program and The Teen Program. Both programs are open to individuals who meet the following requirements: A sincere desire to be a positive, helpful presence in the hospital and clinics The ability to complete the required number of service hours The ability to serve people of diverse backgrounds, ethnic groups, and physical abilities 15 years of age or older The ability to complete the two-hour orientation, the application paperwork, the confidentiality training, and the health clearance.
