In a recent announcement, Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley has shared plans to close one of its centers in the area. Effective May 1, the outpatient services and resources offered at the Diabetes and Bariatric Center located at 1119 East Stanley Blvd. in Livermore will shut down.
The decision to close the Livermore site comes as part of Stanford Health Care’s restructuring efforts aimed at optimizing resources and improving efficiency across its network of facilities.
“The closure of the Diabetes and Bariatric Center in Livermore is part of Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley’s broader efforts to streamline resources and improve efficiency across our network of facilities,” said Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley representatives. “This decision allows Stanford Medicine to better allocate resources to meet the evolving needs of our patients and community.”
Patients who have been receiving care at the Livermore center are advised that the last day for appointments will be next Tuesday (April 30).
“Patients of the Livermore center are encouraged to transition their care to one of the alternative sites we recommended,” representatives said.
Among the suggested alternatives are the Stanford Health Care General Surgery Clinic in Pleasanton (5565 West Las Positas Blvd., Suite 260) or the Washington Hospital Outpatient Diabetes Center in Fremont (1900 Mowry Ave., Suite 305).
Stanford has also recommended Kaiser Diabetes Classes and Programs in Pleasanton (7601 Stoneridge Drive) to find a range of health information sessions and resources for diabetic care.
“Stanford Medicine leaders had careful consideration of various factors before making the decision to close the center,” representatives added. “Our priority is to continue providing high-quality healthcare services to our patients.”
