President's Welcome

Sam Downing, President/CEOOn behalf of our team of amazing employees and world class health care professionals and volunteers, welcome.

Whether you are here for information to prevent illness or you are pursuing treatment options, it is my sincere hope that we will be your answer to better health.

If you are new to Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System you should know, there is a reason people call us, "Neighbors Who Care." As community partners we strive for stability and quality service with a commitment to making the best strategic decisions. By staying on the leading edge of technology, a long-held commitment, we are able to offer state-of-the-art care for people in our local community.

Many people are surprised because this is the type of facility you might expect at a world-renowned health center in a large metropolitan area. Our facility is very modern which is consistent with our goal to provide all of the talent and resources of a major medical center right here on the Central Coast.

Explore. Learn. Ask. Question. And above all, together, let's envision a healthier tomorrow.
