The demolition phase of the pool repair work is underway! Every bit of plaster that is removed is progress toward re-opening the Mickelson Center warm water therapy pool!

Sutter Health is committed to re-opening the Mickelson Center warm water therapy pool which was closed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The demolition phase of the repair work, necessary before we can reopen the pool, began on Saturday, January 6, 2024. The milestone was celebrated by Mills-Peninsula Medical Center CEO Darian Harris, community groups and elected officials.

Your vote for pool tile colors made a difference!
Sutter Health requested the public’s input on the colors for the pool edging and wording outside the locker rooms and received 64 votes before voting concluded on November 9, 2023.
With 53% of the votes, Spa* tile color for the pool edge and Navy tile color for the words spelling out “Men” and “Women” on the floor outside the locker rooms won. *Spa is just the brand name of the color and not a new feature at the pool.
Thank you for your input!

Sutter Health is committed to re-opening the Mickelson Center warm water therapy pool which was closed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Repair work is scheduled to begin soon and we need your input on the colors for the pool edging and wording outside the locker rooms.
Please take a moment to vote on which option you like the most. Only one vote per person. (Elemental Tan is the pool deck color in both options.)
| Option 1 | Option 2 |
| Aqua Glow tile color for the pool edging and the words spelling out “Men” and “Women” on the floor outside the locker rooms. | Spa* tile color for the pool edge and Navy tile color for the words spelling out “Men” and “Women” on the floor outside the locker rooms. |
Please note that Spa is just the brand name of the color and not a new feature at the pool.
The Mickelson Arthritis and Rehabilitation Center pool, located at the Mills Health Center in San Mateo, is an ADA-compliant warm water facility that had aged over its many years of service. Closed at the start of the pandemic in 2020, the pool could not be reopened without repairs. After obtaining the necessary licenses and permits for construction, Sutter is on track for an anticipated re-opening of the pool for its patients in early summer 2024, pending no unforeseen delays.
We are committed to listening to and including our community as we reopen the pool. In an effort to ensure transparency throughout this process, we will continue to provide updates as they are available at this website.

Our teams have assessed the work needed to reopen the pool and following that analysis, we’ve committed to investing in the project and are moving forward. We are in the process of applying for necessary permits before work can begin, and anticipate that the pool will be ready for our patients in early summer 2024, pending no unforeseen delays.
