SANTA CLARA — Sutter Health is ready to launch patient care in one of several buildings that will be part of two vast Santa Clara medical hubs the health services organization is planning in the South Bay.
The nonprofit healthcare provider plans to spend $800 million on the development of a West Santa Clara Campus and an East Santa Clara Campus near Levi Stadium and the Great America theme park.
Sutter is creating what it describes as “flagship” campuses in Silicon Valley. Both medical hubs are on Mission College Boulevard near Great America Parkway, just north of U.S. Highway 101. The two campuses will total a combined 1 million square feet.
The health care firm held a formal ribbon-cutting on Monday to mark the opening of the first building in its East Santa Clara campus, a medical office at 2441 Mission College Blvd.
“It’s a beautiful building, and it has a warm, soothing and healing environment,” said Teresa Sarlitto, a Sutter Health vice president for Silicon Valley ambulatory operations and facilities planning. “We want our patients, physicians and staff to be able to enjoy that environment.”
The eastern campus will total 300,000 square feet and focus on comprehensive primary care, primary and specialty pediatric care, and adult and pediatric urgent care. It will feature an advanced diagnostic lab as well as specialty clinics such as cardiology, neurology, urology, endocrinology and more. Sutter is leasing the three-building eastern campus from the Sobrato Organization.
The medical hub at 2441 Mission College is slated to open to patients on Oct. 20. It totals roughly 103,000 square feet, Sutter officials stated.
The first of the specialty clinics is due to open sometime in 2026, Sutter Health stated.
The western campus will total 700,000 square feet and focus on orthopedics and sports medicine, cancer, women’s health and heart and vascular care.
Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group is hiring physicians who will work in the two campuses.
More than 100 physicians and advanced practice clinicians will work in the first building, according to Sutter.
“Our new facilities in Santa Clara are really about improving services to our patients throughout the South Bay,” Sarlitto said in an interview with this news organization.
