I was the technology implementation manager for the El Camino hospital new tower, built a few years ago, which was touted as the 'hospital of the future'
The top floor was dedicated to LPCH (Lucele Packard's Childrens Hospital)
Upon turn over of the top floor to LPCH, I took their then-director on a tour of her new facilities.
As I walked her about, I asked exactly what LPCH was dedicated to helping, specifically in children...
She told me something that amazed and shocked me at the same time.

LPCH at ECH is a floor dedicated to (typically) female children of super wealthy power couples; the children often develop eating disorders - usually anorexia and their are literally starving themselves in order to gain attention from their high-net-parents...
So... they have an entire hospital in Silicon Valley to treat the children for eating disorders that come from the lack of attention their high-power-couple-parent's give them.
So take that in for a second: SIlicon Valley has an entire hospital dedicated to treating the eating disorders of super wealthy tech people in the bay area at the most technologically advanced hospital at the time that it was built...
I was also on the design team of SFGH (San Francisco General Hospital) new tower....
Which Zuck paid to have named after himself...
Lets find out if Zucks kids wind up in LPCH El Camino...
