## Expanding our reach to serve you better

Sutter Health is a not-for-profit, integrated healthcare system serving more than 3.5 million patients in California. With a sharp focus on delivering comprehensive, exceptional and equitable care, our 14,000+ clinicians and 57,000+ employees serve patients through Sutter's hospitals, clinics, imaging and surgery centers, and home health services.

Sutter patients can access high-quality coordinated care across our entire system. We are continuing to improve access by recruiting more physicians and clinicians into our system and opening 160 hospital beds by 2025 and 25 new ambulatory care centers across our California footprint by 2027.
