O'Connor Hospital
Founded in 1889 as the first hospital in Santa Clara County, O’Connor Hospital is a 358-bed acute care, non-profit, county-owned community hospital that provides advanced medical programs in many specialties. Originally part of the Daughters of Charity Health System, a Catholic health care system whose mission was to provide care to those who need it the most, O'Connor Hospital transitioned leadership of the hospital system to Verity Health System in 2015, and to the County of Santa Clara in 2019. Santa Clara County leadership is committed to supporting O'Connor and its doctors in providing the same high quality, compassionate care to the San Jose community and beyond.
