Patients receive full medical services in addition to psychiatric care from a caring and uniquely committed behavioral health team. Our 65-bed inpatient and outpatient program is Northern California’s largest, community-based psychiatry program, offering crisis intervention, evaluation, and treatment, and we're available to help you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Alcohol Epidemiology Research

Sutter Health Alcohol Epidemiology Research
Alcohol affects us in many ways – both helpful and harmful. Just a glass a day can help prevent type 2 diabetes, heart disease and gallstones. Much more can cause cancer, liver and kidney disease, and brain damage. Research is key to understanding alcohol’s affect on our bodies, families and society.
