Becker’s Hospital Review Named Sutter among its list of “100 Hospitals and Health Systems with Great Oncology Programs”
It’s estimated that 200,000 people living in California will be diagnosed with cancer this year. When someone hears the lifechanging words, “you have cancer,” it’s crucial they have access to advanced services from diagnosis to survivorship, close to home. That’s why Sutter Health is proud to be named to Becker’s Hospital Review’s 2025 list of “100 Hospitals and Health Systems with Great Oncology Programs” – an honor the not-for-profit system has received several years in a row.
This national recognition highlights Sutter’s commitment to seamlessly delivering world-class cancer services in the communities it serves. Becker’s selected hospitals based on clinical excellence, innovation, research and national accreditations.
Sutter’s Advanced Cancer Service Line is distinguished by its integrated network of 22 cancer centers and more than 250 nationally recognized cancer specialists. Each year, more than 17,000 patients receive care guided by National Comprehensive Cancer Network® clinical pathways, which have helped reduce hospital admissions by 20 percent, helping patients recover faster, remain cancer-free and regain their best quality of life.
“Becker’s recognition reflects our dedication to maintaining the high standards of care that patients and families rely on,” says Dr. Amanda Wheeler, breast surgeon and chair of Sutter’s Advanced Cancer Service Line. “It takes an entire care team of oncologists, nurses, radiologists, surgeons and support staff closely coordinating to deliver the kind of clinical excellence that earns us national recognition. We’re proud to be part of a system that puts patients first and continually strives to improve outcomes.”
