Unlike investor-owned healthcare systems, Sutter Health is a not-for-profit organization: any money left over after employees and bills have been paid is reinvested in our care of patients and their families.
Charitable donors, therefore, are valuable partners. Philanthropy allows our physicians and medical teams to do what we otherwise could not: innovate models of care, recruit new talent, fund patient-centered research, purchase advanced technology, and expand access to care to our community.
Charitable gifts can be given in many forms, such as cash, stocks, property, bequests and valuable volunteer time.
