Health Care Quality
We want every patient's care - whether it takes place in one of our hospitals, a physician's office, over the telephone or in the patient's home - to be the absolute best. Sutter Health has adopted an evidence-based model of care to further improve patient outcomes. Drawing from our own best practices and scientific proof of the most effective treatments, we're finding better ways of caring for patients.
