Quality Care is Just Around the Corner
Monica Castillo, busy mom
"With four kids, you never know when an illness is going to happen. We've had earaches, the flu, runny noses, colds - you name it, we've had it," says Castillo, who along with her husband and children have made 10 visits to Sutter Express Care within three months. "It's nice to have somewhere you can go to right away so it doesn't make for a long night."
Sutter Express Care, which is located at select Rite Aid stores throughout the greater Sacramento region, provides medical services for everyday illnesses like strep throat, the flu and allergies. The medical clinics are staffed by highly-skilled certified nurse practitioners and maintain physician oversight.
"Sutter Health is working to provide the access that our patients are asking for across the continuum of care that we provide," says Thomas Atkins, M.D., medical director of Sutter Express Care. "We're building and refurbishing new hospitals; we're developing and expanding medical office campuses to include outpatient surgery and services for primary care physicians and specialty care - all the way to express care, which provides convenient quality care in a retail setting."
Sutter Express Care is a fine example of how Sutter Health is making health care even more convenient, accessible and affordable.
"I want to go somewhere where I know my kids are getting quality care," says Castillo. "As a mom, that's very important to me."
