Cancer CAREpoint Finds a New Home in Willow Glen for Expanded Cancer Support

Bay Area families navigating cancer treatment and recovery will experience greater access to free, personalized support following Cancer CAREpoint’s recent relocation to a larger headquarters in the Willow Glen neighborhood. The nonprofit completed its move on June 30 into the Garden Theater Building at 1165 Lincoln Avenue, where increased space now allows for more clients and broader in-person programming.

The expanded facility strengthens the organization’s ability to deliver counseling, support groups, nutrition education, wellness classes, and practical assistance such as wigs and emergency bridge funding. After more than 14 years of service from its previous San Jose location, Cancer CAREpoint has already supported over 12,000 individuals and families across the region with care available both in person and virtually.

This new base in Willow Glen’s vibrant, walkable community provides a peaceful and inviting setting designed to foster connection and hope during challenging times. The move enhances visibility for the nonprofit amid the neighborhood’s local shops and gathering spots, helping more residents discover these essential resources.

With services rooted in compassion and practicality, the organization continues its mission to ease the burdens of cancer for patients, survivors, caregivers, and loved ones throughout the Bay Area. The relocation positions Cancer CAREpoint for sustained growth as it prepares for community events like its annual Garden Party fundraiser.

Santa Clara University Charts a Bold Course for the Region's Healthcare Future with New Medical School

Santa Clara University will soon add a transformative medical school to its distinguished lineup thanks to a record $175 million gift from alumna Mary Stevens and her husband Mark Stevens.

The Mary & Mark Stevens School of Medicine will partner closely with Sutter Health to train the next generation of physicians and tackle California's looming shortage of more than 4,000 primary care doctors by 2030.

Students will benefit from an integrated training model that keeps them within Sutter's extensive clinical network while gaining hands-on experience in an 82,000 square foot facility located near the health system's upcoming 272 bed hospital.

The curriculum will blend traditional medical education with cutting edge applications of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to prepare graduates for a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.

This development not only addresses critical workforce needs across the Bay Area but also reinforces the region's leadership in combining education, technology, and compassionate care for generations to come.
