VMC Idol rocks Silicon Valley!



Friday night was the third year of VMC Idol, the SCVHHS's own singing competition...and another great one indeed! Not only does that staff at your public hospital system save lives and protect our health, they can SING!

Congratulations to our winner Ricia Baumgardner for her great version of "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera. Coming in second was Maria Isla and her sassy rendition of La Quinta Estacion's "El Sol No Regresa". Our bronze medalists were Melissa Noto and Rick Lee doing "Way Back into Love"...which you can see here!

There are so many people to thank for making this fun-fund raiser possible: Our amazing staff at the VMC Foundation and the staff of VMC's rehab center, our volunteers, the Heritage Theater in Campbell, the singers who tried out and who competed, and of course our judges Dr. Akshat Shah, Carole Adler and County Supervisor Ken Yeager.

Dr. Steve Harris, VMC's chair of pediatrics served as emcee, Bob Shea did a great job behind the board, and Luis and Connie captured it all on video and film. Personally, my beer glass it tipped to the Idol Hands Band in which I'm rediculously proud to play bass...great job guys!
