About Sutter Health Research

Research is an integral component of Sutter Health’s approach to improving the wellness of our patients and communities. We create and conduct innovative research to enhance health and transform care delivery.

 

Many clinicians at Sutter Health are also researchers who publish findings, develop novel protocols, and pioneer new tests and treatments at a rate more commonly found at major universities. All of this activity fosters improved patient care, and enables Sutter Health to recruit and retain researchers of the highest caliber.

Areas of Expertise

Clinical Research

We offer patients access to approximately 150 clinical trials suited to their health concerns, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, stroke and neurological disorders, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, as well as liver and kidney diseases. We participate in many nationwide clinical studies sponsored by National Institutes of Health institutes, foundations and philanthropic groups, and the pharmaceutical industry.

San Francisco Coordinating Center (SFCC)

Multi-center cohort studies — with up to 10,000 participants in areas including women's health, aging and longevity, cognitive function, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer prevention, osteoporosis, and arthritis — created and led by the SFCC have significantly advanced our knowledge of common, chronic illnesses.
