Sutter Health to build $1 billion Emeryville medical campus, averting Alta Bates closure
Briefly

Sutter Health has announced a significant $1 billion investment to establish a new flagship medical center in Emeryville, addressing healthcare access issues in the East Bay region. This decision follows a warning about the closure of the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center due to infeasible seismic upgrades. The new 1.3 million-square-foot campus, comprising 200 beds and a variety of medical services, aims to expand healthcare options, reduce patient commute times, and maintain emergency services in response to community needs. While construction is ongoing, the existing facility will remain operational as acute care until the new center is completed.
