From the very beginning, Stanford Health Care has been a home for passionate achievers. Across every discipline and at every level, their people have advanced medicine in ways few thought were possible. In their more than 160-year history, they have seen so many firsts. In 1956, their team treated a tumor with the Western Hemisphere's first nuclear linear accelerator, a device that now serves as the cornerstone of cancer treatment. They performed California's first kidney transplant in 1960, and eight years later their team performed the first successful adult human heart transplant in the United States. Decades later, they continue to work at the forefront of health care, developing new imaging capabilities in 2008 to illuminate tumors in vivo with precision of one-trillionth of a meter, and in 2010, discovering how to use a healthy person's genome sequence to predict disease risk.

Of course, they believe these achievements are only the beginning. They will continue in their relentless pursuit of excellence, creating life-changing advancements for people all over the world. You're invited to share in the legacy, and join them for the inspiring road ahead of them.
