Media Resources

The Office of Communications is dedicated to sharing Stanford Health Care and School of Medicine news with the media and helping journalists secure expert interviews for their stories. 

Contacting our office as early as possible will allow us to better meet media requests. But, when deadlines are tight, we will make every effort to get you the information and experts you need.

Please call or contact specific representatives for media inquiries. During off-hours, the on-call representative for Stanford Medicine can be reached by contacting the page operator at (650) 723-6661, pager ID 25314. 

Print media

Our group can offer supplemental background, provide timely access to researchers, physicians or faculty members and suggest additional sources if your first choice is unavailable. Contact Julie Greicius to schedule interviews and other deadline-related needs.

Guidelines for TV/video and digital media
