Community Benefit

You care about your community, and so do we. Each year, Sutter Health gives millions of dollars in support and services to the areas we serve. We provide care for those who cannot afford it, fund education and research that will improve lives, and contribute to programs and organizations that provide healthcare access and services for those in need.
