The Kaiser Permanente Santa Teresa Medical Center has changed its name to the Kaiser Permanente San Jose Medical Center. Kaiser Permanente assures its members that the only thing that is new is the name. Kaiser will maintain the same high quality care in this medical facility as they have had in the past.

San Jose area has had rapid growth in Kaiser Permanente membership. This medical facility now serves nearly 200,000 members. The name change is meant to reflect this growth and demonstrate Kaiser Permanente’s commitment to the health of the San Jose community. The hospital is still located off of Santa Teresa Boulevard. Rather than being named after the street, the medical facility is now titled to reflect the area that it serves. This facility is a leader in spinal care and genetics and currently has 248 beds, 345 doctors (fluent in 19 languages), and 1200 support staff.
