Becker’s Hospital Review names Sutter Health among “100 Hospitals and Health Systems with Great Orthopedic Programs”

Each year, thousands of Californians seek relief from joint pain, injuries and mobility challenges that impact their daily lives. With a growing demand for joint replacement procedures and care for diseased or damaged tendons and ligaments, access to high-quality, innovative care is more important than ever.

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 Orthopedic Programs” – a recognition that reflects the system’s commitment to seamlessly delivering advanced, elite orthopedics and sports medicine care across Northern California.

This national honor highlights Sutter’s leadership in orthopedic surgical technologies and innovation, physical therapy and rehabilitation. Becker’s selected hospitals based on quality, clinical outcomes, technology, national awards and patient experience.

“This recognition reflects the strength of our Advanced Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Service Line and the collaborative care our teams deliver every day,” says Dr. Deryk Jones, orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine specialist and chair of the service line. “By combining advanced technologies with minimally invasive techniques and a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach, we help patients recover faster, regain mobility and improve their quality of life.”
