A Community-First Approach

Stanford Medicine is planning a new cancer center in Redwood City, and we are committed to ensuring it serves and reflects the community it will call home. This starts with listening.

Our "Community-First" approach is built on open dialogue. Over the past year, we have been actively engaging with neighbors, community leaders, and local organizations to ensure our plans resonate with community interests, address concerns, and advance a shared vision for the future of cancer care. By working together, we can build a center that reimagines cancer research and care while strengthening our role as a good neighbor.

Your voice is a crucial part of this process. Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Share Your Feedback: Take our Community Survey to add your voice to our process.

Stanford Medicine hosted two sets of community open houses in October 2025 and February 2026 for residents of Redwood City, North Fair Oaks, and the surrounding region. We met with community members to share information about a potential cancer center in Redwood City and sought input to help Stanford Medicine develop an updated project that is informed by the community’s early input and interests.
