Sutter Health is investing $1B to expand its services across the East Bay, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Sutter Health announced a $1 billion plan Wednesday to build a flagship campus and medical center near I-80 in Emeryville that will provide an initial 200 beds and almost as many clinicians by 2033. The move comes nearly a decade after the health care giant warned that its Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Berkeley would shutter by 2030 because state-mandated seismic upgrades were infeasible for the 120-year-old complex — stirring fears of a “hospital desert” in the East Bay.

Sutter Health is set to invest $1 billion in a new medical campus in Emeryville, featuring state-of-the-art facilities, including a flagship hospital and outpatient services, aimed to serve the growing healthcare needs of the East Bay.
