The county's health and hospital system is run with taxpayer dollars. The public needs to know what happened, and the county will not get a free pass when it comes to environmental protection and consumer privacy laws.
Santa Clara Valley Healthcare understands the immense efforts and work invested by the District Attorney's Office in reviewing medical and hazardous waste disposal and is taking the matter very seriously.
We are committed to adopting industry best-practices to prevent future occurrences and upon learning of the details three weeks ago, immediately began implementing corrective actions to address the concerns.
We take environmental stewardship and the confidentiality of patient health information seriously and are working to strengthen our efforts in these areas while still delivering high-quality patient care.
