NORTHERN CALIF. — Six Sutter hospitals earned state and regional rankings in the latest edition of the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals report, with several recognized across multiple specialties — underscoring the California-based, not-for-profit health system’s ongoing commitment to high-quality patient care.

In addition, and on the heels of the system’s broader efforts to expand access to care across California, Sutter’s Memorial Medical Center in Modesto and Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento were named Best Regional Hospitals for Community Access in their respective areas. U.S. News & World Report defines success in this category as ‘delivering high-quality care to patients across all socioeconomic groups within the community’.

“We’re honored to be recognized for delivering high-quality care that reaches more people in more ways,” said Dr. Todd Smith, Sutter Health’s chief physician executive. “These distinctions affirm the work our teams are doing every day to advance care, improve outcomes and expand access — through trusted caregivers, innovative approaches and new models of care that help meet the needs of those we serve.”

Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation by U.S. News & World Report excelled at clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience. Sutter hospitals ranked among the “Best” in regional and state rankings include:

• Sutter’s Memorial Medical Center: #1 in the Modesto Metro Area, #60 (tied) in California, and Regionally Recognized in the Central Valley.
• Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento: #2 in the Sacramento Metro Area, #16 (tied) in California, and Regionally Recognized in the Northern Sierras.

• Sutter’s Mills-Peninsula Medical Center: #6 (tied) in the San Francisco Metro Area and #42 (tied) in California.

“Being named among the best regional and state hospitals reflects our relentless focus on elevating patient care,” said Dr. William Isenberg, Sutter Health’s chief medical and quality officer. “Across our integrated system, teams are improving outcomes through smarter use of data, deepening collaboration, advancing nursing excellence and reimagining the patient experience to make care not only high-quality, but also more personal, timely and supportive.”

Patient expectations for a high-quality care experience are evolving. In addition to in-person services, patients increasingly want digital options, so they can speak with a clinician, access their records or get a question answered quickly. Sutter is investing in digital capabilities, virtual care and seamless systems to empower patients to receive the best and most convenient care experience.
