Sutter Health

Sutter is focused on closing care gaps and bringing high-quality care close to home for patients, families, and communities. The infusion center is the latest addition to Sutter’s Rural Oncology Program, which is designed to bring the same innovative treatments and coordinated care available in metropolitan areas to patients in rural communities. This is our not-for-profit mission in action: expanding access, strengthening communities and building a healthier California.

We’re training tomorrow’s doctors—right where they’re needed most. Through accredited residency programs in rural Del Norte and Amador counties, we’re expanding access to care while training physicians who are committed to meeting the unique needs of patients in rural regions. As a not-for-profit health system, we’re investing in long-term solutions—like workforce housing and physician rural training tracks—to strengthen care access and grow California’s next generation of healthcare leaders.

More care, close to home. We’re opening a new rural health clinic in Los Banos to expand care access for rural communities in the Central Valley. Opening in 2026, the new clinic will be able to serve up to 1,000 more patients per month, in addition to the 38,000 patients we already care for every year. Learn more about our not-for-profit mission to bring innovative, comprehensive care to communities across California.

From Crescent City to Los Banos, we’re investing $23 million to bring care close to home, reaching thousands more patients in rural and remote communities. We’re tackling physician shortages head-on with rural residency programs and workforce housing —training doctors where they’re needed most and helping them meet unique patient needs. This is our not-for-profit mission in action: expanding access, strengthening communities, and building a healthier California.
