The El Camino Hospital Auxiliary is proud to now be a certifying organization for the President's Volunteer Service Award which recognizes the valuable contributions volunteers make in our communities and encourages more people to serve. All of us at El Camino Health thank our incredible volunteers at both the Mountain View and Los Gatos hospitals and recognize the impact they make. We now have the ability to honor such outstanding volunteers with this award.

Our pharmacy team had the privilege of recently attending the 2024 ASHP (American Society of Health System Pharmacists) Midyear Clinical Meeting in New Orleans. The conference offered an exceptional opportunity for professional development, education, and recruitment for our PGY1 residency program. Attendees came from around the globe as this is the world’s largest Pharmacy Conference with an estimated 30k students, residents, pharmacists and preceptors in attendance. Representing our team were several key members, including our preceptors Michelle O’Brien and Amy Lam, management staff Jen Huang and Yesil Jung, operations coordinator Noori Khadem, current PGY1 resident Kristi Wong and guest graduate resident Crystal Chung (2023-2024).

All of us at El Camino Health want to send wishes of light, good health and happiness to you and your loved ones this Hanukkah season!
