Santa Clara County Executive Jeff Smith said he thought many of the criticisms about VMC were unfair. “It’s a matter of people really seeing what it’s like rather than hearing rumors,” said Smith, adding that people “can’t make a judgment for what would happen if the county owns and operates the hospitals because we have not gotten to that point of developing an operational plan.”. Moreover, he said, many South Bay residents may be unaware that VMC has undergone a massive expansion that has added new hospital services for trauma, rehabilitation, obstetrics and neonatology.

Since we know so many people, it’s almost like playing your friends and it also kind of reminds you of those days when you used to play in the backyard with your brother and sister and everyone in the neighborhood.”.
