Advancing Knowledge,
Improving Lives
Stanford Medicine is an integrated academic health system comprising our school of medicine and pediatric and adult health care delivery systems. Together, we harness the full potential of biomedicine through collaborative research, education, and clinical care for patients of all ages.
From Bench to Bedside
Our research informs and enhances our patient care, and what we learn from clinical practice and trials enables vital discoveries and innovations. Precision health is at the core of what we do: preventing disease before it strikes and treating it decisively when it does.
Accelerating Breakthroughs
Working together, Stanford Medicine is expanding what we know about science and medicine every day. Collaboration between our organizations helps breakthroughs happen faster and reach wider, improving outcomes both here and around the globe.
