Philanthropy Has Never Been More Important

Thoughts from Our Leader

Across the communities served by Sutter Health, individuals, families and corporations are partnering with us to change lives through charitable giving. Thousands of generous donors chose to invest nearly $80 million in 2022 - supporting innovative programs, advancing medical technologies and enabling research that will alter the future of healthcare. Our team is inspired by the opportunity and privilege we have each day to work with all those who choose Sutter Health as their philanthropic partner.

We serve a diverse set of communities, which means how and why people choose to give is also unique. We have created giving opportunities that offer our donors nearly $300 million in possibilities. These opportunities are designed to maximize a donor’s impact through innovations in care delivery, expanding accessibility, and improving health and wellbeing in each of the communities we serve. Because we know the important role our physicians play in the lives of our donors, we also work in close partnership with our clinical teams to better understand how philanthropy can help them solve problems big and small around health equity, digital health and mental health across our system.

Today, the future of healthcare relies on partnerships, and that includes community partnerships. The healthcare industry cannot transform on its own. That is why you, our donors, are an irreplaceable part of this transformation and our not-for-profit mission. While your generosity honors care teams and gives back to support initiatives that are personally meaningful, it also ultimately helps to shape the future of healthcare. If you are looking to be inspired by what is possible in healthcare, please join us.
