Sutter Health Reveals East Bay Expansion Plan

Feb 24, 2025 | Public | 0 comments

The plan features a new acute care medical center, primary and specialty care clinics, destination advanced care centers, urgent care facilities and ambulatory surgery centers.

Sutter Health announced a plan to expand access to its comprehensive, integrated and coordinated care across the greater East Bay region. As part of this phased approach, Sutter will construct a flagship campus in the City of Emeryville featuring a regional destination ambulatory care complex and a new medical center with an initial capacity of up to 200 beds and room for future expansion. The plan prioritizes recruiting primary care and specialty physicians, reducing barriers for patients when scheduling appointments and obtaining referrals for care, and investing in programs and partnerships to strengthen the healthcare workforce.?

Sutter is investing more than $1 billion to expand services across the East Bay, ensuring patients will be able to reach comprehensive care within a 15-minute drive from home or work. At the heart of this regional expansion is the newly acquired, 12-acre Sutter Emeryville Campus at Horton and 53rd streets, which will serve as a key healthcare destination.

When complete, the new medical campus (approximately 1.3 million square feet) in the heart of Emeryville will offer outpatient services at two existing buildings (approximately 530,000 square feet) at 5555 Hollis Street and 5300 Chiron Street plus acute care services at a newly constructed medical center adjacent to the Hollis Street property. The Sutter Emeryville campus will also offer medical office space and parking at an existing 1,992-space parking garage. ??

Key Features of the Sutter Emeryville Campus:

  • A new ambulatory care complex offering hospital-based outpatient clinics (neuroscience, rheumatology, pulmonary, dermatology, non-chemotherapy infusion), orthopedic center, physical therapy, ophthalmology, women’s center, pediatrics, digestive diseases and surgery, OB/Gyn graduate medical education clinic, urology, ear, nose and throat, audiology, endoscopy center, urgent care, imaging and laboratory. The first ambulatory patients are expected as early as 2028.?
  • Destination advanced centers in neuroscience, orthopedics, women’s health, primary care, urgent care, imaging and other specialty clinics.?
  • Approximately 190 primary and specialty care clinicians.
  • A new medical center (approximately 335,000 square feet) with up to 200 beds is slated to include labor and delivery, neonatal intensive care, an ICU, emergency services, imaging services, operating rooms, private patient rooms and additional space for future bed expansion. The target opening for the new medical center is 2032 to 2033. When it opens, the new Emeryville medical center will replace the acute care services at 2450 Ashby Ave. in Berkeley. The Ashby campus will be reimagined to encompass an ambulatory surgery center, urgent care clinic, and possibly skilled nursing services. These new services offered in Berkeley will complete the integrated care continuum in the East Bay.
