Advancing Care Together
Allina Health is planning to join Sutter Health, creating a bold vision for the future of nonprofit healthcare. As one nationally leading, locally committed health system, we will better serve our patients, communities and care teams.
Sutter Health and Allina Health are coming together to expand access to high-quality, connected care while advancing innovation for patients and caregivers.
With Northern California at the forefront of AI and platform development and Minnesota’s position as the leading hub for med-tech and engineering, the combined system will be uniquely positioned as a national leader in digital and technological advancements that meaningfully improve patients’ and caregivers’ experiences.
Together, we will:
Improve patient access and affordability
by establishing new ambulatory care locations and expanding specialty institutes to deliver excellent care to more patients in more settings.
Help caregivers spend more time with patients
and less time on paperwork through AI and digital solutions that reduce administrative burdens.
Drive high-quality and safe care
including a focus on prevention, to improve the health of the communities we serve.
Make it easier for patients to get appointments
through more convenient scheduling and innovative consumer digital tools.
Accelerate physician and clinician recruitment
to meet growing patient needs across the continuum of care.
Advance discovery
through research, clinical trials and more to directly impact patient care.
Be one of the best places to work in healthcare in the nation
by growing and investing in the strong teams we have today.
We are moving forward with the required state and federal regulatory review processes and expect to close the proposed transaction by the end of 2026, pending regulatory review. We are committed to keeping our patients and communities informed as we reach key milestones in this process.
