Sutter Stories

At Sutter Health we celebrate the lives of our patients and their families by telling their stories. We’re proud to care for the cyclist who got back on the road after heart surgery. We admire the father who survived cancer with grace and humor, supported by his kids every step of the way. You are the reason we invest in life-saving technologies.
