    Your Source for Health Education

    No matter how well prepared you are, it’s inevitable you’ll remember something you wanted to ask long after your medical appointment is over. CPMC offers you a variety of ways to get the answers you need.

    Community Health Resource Center

    A health education and counseling facility, the center opened in 1986 in partnership with doctors at CPMC. The nonprofit center provides comprehensive health, nutrition and social services counseling, as well as a wide range of individual and group support options including classes, lectures and health screenings. For more details about our programs and services, call (415) 923-3155 or email cpmcchrc@sutterhealth.org.

    • Compassionate Counseling
      If you or your family members are experiencing emotional distress or obstacles that prevent you from obtaining your goals, we invite you to meet with our trained social workers for psychotherapy. In a safe and supportive environment, you and your therapist can explore challenges and reduce stress.
    • Nutritional Counseling
      Registered dietitians review nutritional requirements person by person for both in-hospital and outpatient referrals. A dietitian helps you evaluate and determine nutritional goals and develop an individual care plan, including meals nutritional supplements and suggestions for managing eating problems.
    • Health Screenings
      You might think you don’t need health screenings when you feel fine, but they could save your life. Highly knowledgeable staff provide instruction for self-exams you can do at home and guidance to better manage your own health.
    • Advance Healthcare Directive
      You may find it difficult to imagine a time when you will not be capable of making your own healthcare decisions, but if that time does come, you want assurance that your wishes will be honored. Our health educators offer counseling for planning an advance healthcare directive, a legal document that allows you to appoint an agent with power of attorney to make care and treatment decisions on your behalf and to give instructions about your healthcare wishes.

    Classes, Events and Support Groups

    CPMC support groups offer emotional and social support in an open, accepting environment. People living with liver cancer or stroke survivors can meet monthly to share their experiences. Our Cancer Buddy Program matches volunteers, who are themselves cancer survivors, with newly diagnosed cancer patients to share knowledge and coping strategies.

    Center for Diabetes Services

    The CPMC Center for Diabetes Services has been providing education to Bay Area residents for over 20 years. We’re proud to provide an individualized approach to diabetes management. Our diabetes educators continually update their knowledge and provide the latest information about nutrition, medications, exercise, and technology promoting excellent patient outcomes.

    If this is your first visit to our program, you will need to complete the Patient Health Survey and Medication/Supplement List forms. Please call (415) 600-0506 or email cpmcdiab@sutterhealth.org to request your forms. Bring the forms with you to your appointment or fax them in advance to our office at (415) 600-6279.

    Health Policy Research

    Sutter Health Health Policy Research
    Health policy research seeks to understand how societies organize themselves to provide healthcare within their system and provide data and observations about how changes could contribute to better outcomes. It is an inter-disciplinary research using economics, sociology, anthropology, political science, public health and epidemiology to draw a comprehensive picture of how health systems work and adapt to health policies, and how health policies can shape - and be shaped by - health systems and the broader determinants of health.
