Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of local families and foundations, we are able to renovate and expand our medical facilities to bring our community the most advanced technology and medical care for years to come. We'd like to recognize: For the latest news on the community's philanthropic support of our project, click here. Our Expansion Plans The Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento expansion is often described as a model in-fill project, designed to serve the health care needs of the growing Sacramento region and enrich the surrounding neighborhood. The project received the unanimous approval of the Sacramento City Council in December 2006 and was also endorsed unanimously by the Sacramento Planning Commission and Design Review and Preservation Board. There is strong support for this project across the Sacramento community and the region because of what the project will bring to our community – a significant economic investment for Sacramento's city center, new jobs, cultural opportunities, and expanded, state-of-the-art health care facilities. The Sutter Medical Center urban village project includes a new Anderson Lucchetti Women's and Children's Center and comprehensive renovation of Sutter General Hospital and the Sutter Cancer Center. The overall project also features 32 new residential units; neighborhood-serving retail, restaurants and commercial space; a community parking garage; a new theater complex for the B Street Theatre and the Children's Theatre of California; and partnership facility-sharing relationships with Trinity Cathedral and other project partners. The partnerships that make this project the right fit for Sacramento have also earned numerous community endorsements, including the support of SACOG, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments; the Sacramento Metropolitan Air District and Sacramento Regional Transit. The medical complex is designed as a regional medical facility to meet Sacramento's healthcare needs for the next 50 years, and serve the needs of patients in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties' and patients across 27 counties in northern California and western Nevada. The new Anderson Lucchetti Women's and Children's Center, named in honor of the family of the late Fred Anderson, founder of Pacific Coast Building Products, Inc., will offer the highest level of neonatal and pediatric intensive care and other services. The remodeled Sutter General and Cancer Center will house new space for orthopedic, spine, neuroscience, cancer, transplant and medical/surgical services. At the completion of the medical campus in late 2010, Sutter General Hospital will be renamed the Ose Adams Medical Pavilion in honor of a generous donation from Sacramento philanthropists Enlow and Melena Adams Ose. Sutter Medical Center made an extraordinary effort to involve stakeholders in the project's planning and approval process, and performed multiple studies to address all potential project impacts. We have extraordinary ongoing partnerships with the City of Sacramento, SMUD and our neighbors in the pre-construction site work now underway. This work involves demolition of some buildings and upgrading streets, sewers and utilities. In the coming year, this innovative master planning project will be featured at several health care design conferences, including the Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo. As construction activities continue, we will keep you informed through regular updates from this page, which will include graphics and photographs detailing our progress. Please check back often for the latest news on what's happening.
