ValleyCare Fieatth System <br />Community Benefit Report FY 2005-2006 <br />For three of the four cities within the primary service area (i.e. Livermore, Pleasanton <br />and Dublin) ValleyCare is the sole provider of acute care services. Located in San <br />Ramon, twelve miles north of ValleyCare Medical Center, is the San Ramon Regional <br />Medical Center, afor-profit acute care facility and a subsidiary of Tenet Healthcare <br />Corporation. <br />While Kaiser Foundation Health Plan covers nearly one-third of the residents of the Tri- <br />Valley, it does not provide acute care services in the area. Currently, Kaiser operates <br />medical offices in Pleasanton and Livermore. <br />Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) has begun construction on a Medical Center <br />located at the Palomares Canyon in the hills between Castro Valley and Dublin. <br />Primary and secondary services will be offered at various offices. The first of these <br />buildings is a 3-story, 60,000 square-foot medical office expected to open in the Spring <br />of 2007. PAMF-Palomares will service patients in the East Bay and the Tri-Valley. <br />PAMF also expanded their Fremont office in 2006, which now offers a community health <br />resource center, endoscopic procedures, and minor outpatient services to patients in a <br />section of ValleyCare's secondary service area. <br />s <br />
