Sutter Health

What it reported doing in 2024

Program service accomplishments the funds we raise in support of sutter bay hospitals (sbh) and sutter bay medical foundation (sbmf) have a real impact on the care our patients receive. While hospital revenues typically cover day-to-day operating expenses, charitable gifts allow us to make crucial improvements not covered by the medical center's annual budget. That includes purchasing new equipment, expanding key programs and upgrading our facilities. By contributing to our priorities, donors funded programs and equipment purchases that our physicians designated as critically necessary in 2024. They helped provide primary health care services for women and children in our poorest neighborhoods; offered a comforting respite for alzheimer's patients and those nearing the end of life; purchased vital technology making treatment easier for patients with cancer, cardiac conditions, and neurological disorders. Donors helped support these annual priorities: cancer programs $4,100,000 cardiology programs $900,000 neuroscience programs $1,400,000 pediatric care programs $2,100,000 womens' health $1,000,000 community health programs (some are included in annual priorities): . Coming home hospice $1,100,000 . Community health resource center $80,000 . Forbes norris als center $160,000 . Institute for health and healing (ihh) $220,000 . Kalmanovitz child development center $960,000 of course, our needs go far beyond these annual priorities, and our compassionate contributors have many other options when it comes to sharing their charitable spirit. Often times our supporters or their family members have been patients here, so they know firsthand the impact their gifts can make, especially in programs like these - all of which received significant donor support last year.
