Happy New Year Everyone!

2017 is going to be an exciting year for the Sodexo team at Stanford Health Care. 

The newly renovated Market Square Cafe at Stanford Health Care will open on January 24 (That's 10 days from today!) and we will have the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on January 23. Special thanks to all colleagues that worked tirelesly during the renovations period.
