El Camino Health
El Camino Health was established in 1961 as a not-for-profit healthcare system. It runs two main hospitals and a network of clinics serving Santa Clara County residents. The organization allocates capital across public equities, real estate, and early-stage healthcare technology. Confirmed holdings include an S&P 500 Index Fund position and a stake in Causeway International Value Equity valued at $116M. It also holds direct interests in Hippocratic AI and maintains a partnership with Fogarty Innovation. Geographic exposure centers on the United States with primary activity in California. The system employs 3255 people and controls nine major real estate assets including the 420-bed Mountain View campus and the Los Gatos facility acquired in 2009. It maintains the El Camino Health Foundation, established in 1982, which has distributed $144M for hospital programs. In March 2024 the organization sponsored the State of the Valley Conference. Investment decisions rest with the health system board rather than external family principals. Capital deployment occurs through direct ownership of facilities, joint ventures such as the Kindred Healthcare rehabilitation hospital, and targeted innovation vehicles including the Taft Innovation Fund.
