The County of Santa Clara Health and Hospital Committee convened on April 15, 2026, to discuss various health-related programs, budget proposals, and capital projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the Behavioral Health Pavilion construction update, with an anticipated opening on August 5, 2026, and challenges related to fire life safety inspections causing costly delays.
