ELK GROVE – Sutter Health announced plans to construct a $67.8 million specialty care center at its Elk Grove location. 

The new specialty care center is projected to bring 44 more physicians to the Sutter Elk Grove Care Complex on Laguna Boulevard and expand its Sutter Urgent Care Center. 

"With this expansion, the residents of Elk Grove and neighboring communities will have access to specialty physicians and services closer to home. This includes physician specialists in cardiology, neurology, urology and women's health," said Warner Thomas, president and CEO of Sutter Health. "In addition, the new care center will provide the opportunity to expand our primary care services, bringing additional family medicine physicians to this growing community."  

Sutter Health says of the 44 clinicians that are expected to be brought in, 27 will be specialists and 17 will be additional primary-care physicians for families and people of all ages. They are set to join the 20 primary-care physicians and five specialists currently at the Sutter Elk Grove Care Complex. 

Construction of the new 56,000-square-foot, two-story building is expected to begin by summer 2025, with plans to be completed in 2026. It will be located just south of the outpatient surgical center on Laguna Boulevard and southeast of the care center on Laguna Boulevard. 

Sutter Health says it's on pace to open 24 new care centers across Northern California in 2024, which aims to increase access to primary and specialty care doctors, along with reducing patient travel time.
