New clinic brings same-day care to one of San Francisco’s fastest-growing neighborhoods
SAN FRANCISCO – Residents, workers and visitors in Mission Bay now have a new option for same-day medical care with the opening of Sutter Health’s newest urgent care clinic near Oracle Park.
Located at 240 King St., the 2,156-square-foot clinic has four exam rooms and portable X-ray equipment and is open seven days a week, 365 days a year.
“We are so excited to open our second urgent care in San Francisco,” said Christina Oh, Sutter Health’s chief operating officer. “People need care where they live and work, and this gives them another way to get care quickly, close to where they are.”
The new clinic builds on Sutter’s longstanding presence in the neighborhood.
“This has been a Sutter location for some time, and we saw an opportunity to build on that presence by bringing urgent care to this part of the city,” said Liz Armstrong, CEO of Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation – South. “It’s a way to better meet the needs of the people who live, work and spend time here.”
Urgent care provides same-day evaluation and treatment for many common illnesses and injuries, including infections, sprains and minor fractures. The clinic also offers lab services and can connect patients to primary care, specialists, imaging and other services across Sutter’s network when additional care is needed.
“At Sutter, we recognize that patients need access to a range of services across multiple care settings,” said Dr. Jonathan Lee, chair of the Primary Care Service Line for Sutter West Bay Medical Group. “Urgent care is an important part of that continuum.”
The Mission Bay clinic is Sutter’s second urgent care location in San Francisco and part of a broader expansion of same-day care across Northern California. Sutter currently operates more than 40 urgent care centers and plans to grow that network to more than 50 locations by 2030.
Mission Bay has grown into a major hub for technology, education and sports, with Oracle Park and surrounding neighborhoods bringing residents, workers and visitors together throughout the year.
“When someone gets sick or injured, they want a convenient option close by,” said Carolin Delker, vice president of Sutter’s Urgent Care Service Line. “This location gives people in Mission Bay another place to turn when they need care that can’t wait for a regular appointment.”
The clinic was developed through a collaboration among Sutter’s clinical, operations, technology and facility planning teams, along with construction and trade partners.
“This project took a lot of people working together to bring it to life,” said Kate Baust, senior director of operations for Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation – South. “We’re excited to open the doors and start caring for patients in this community.”
