San Francisco Coordinating Center (SFCC) at Sutter’s California Pacific Medical Center
Large, multicohort studies in longevity, age-related illnesses and more.
SFCC’s multi-center cohort studies significantly advance knowledge in women’s health, aging and longevity, cognitive function, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer prevention, osteoporosis and arthritis.
Learn how SFCC discoveries can help inform clinical decision making. Contact SFCC Senior Scientist and Executive Director Steve Cummings, M.D. at SCummings@sfcc-cpmc.net.
Center for Health Systems Research (CHSR)
Accelerating the continuous transformation and evolution of health systems.
Health systems research improves the care, experience and health of our patients, clinicians and communities through data, development and analytics that inform care delivery.
Collaborate with Sutter health systems researchers to continually enhance the experience of care for your patients. Contact CHSR Interim Director J.B. Jones, Ph.D. at James.Jones@sutterhealth.org.
Discovery Science
Advancing basic/bench and translational science for evidence-based care “at the bedside."
Discovery science at Sutter Health includes biomarker discovery, Biobank-driven studies and a “living biology” approach taken by the Cancer Avatar Program. We’re conducting this research so care may be delivered with greater accuracy and efficiency, while providing better quality, safer, personalized and more affordable care for our patients.
