Simitian also looking forward to seeing long-term projects completed.
Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian visits a Y After School classroom at Theuerkauf Elementary School in Mountain View in this file photo. Simitian is stepping down as supervisor for District 5 at the end of the year.As I reflect on these past dozen years and what we’ve been able to achieve, both in my Santa Clara County Supervisorial District 5 and countywide, I’m ever mindful that so much of the work we do comes to fruition over time and in collaboration.
Long-term projects like the ones below won’t be wrapped up by the time I complete my term and walk out the doors on Dec. 31. But I remind myself that patience is a virtue when it comes to the pace of institutional progress. I proposed that we build such a facility right here in our county, and the project should be completed late next year. Connected by a skybridge to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, the 207,000-square-foot facility will provide psychiatric services for adults as well as children and adolescents. Its state-of-the-art design features divided age-appropriate amenities, including indoor and outdoor therapeutic environments, that allow for a continuum of care in a single setting.
West Valley Health Clinic: In November, I was honored to oversee the opening of the county’s first primary care clinic in North County, conveniently located to serve those living in the areas of Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills. It’s the first county-run full-service health clinic in District 5.
