Classes and Events

Throughout the Sutter Health network, we offer a variety of educational opportunities on a wide range of topics, from prenatal care to heart health to weight management. Hosted by experts in their fields, these classes, lectures and events are often free to attend and open to the community.

Disease Management Research

Disease management research looks to discover better ways to coordinate healthcare interventions and communications for populations with conditions in which patient self-care efforts are significant. Such conditions include diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure, heart failure, arthritis and other chronic (on-going) diseases. These conditions often require continuing healthcare monitoring, medications and management of disease by the individual and their healthcare team.
