Kaiser breaks ground: Folsom's population boom fuels a wave of new medical facilities.

Kaiser breaks ground: Folsom's population boom fuels a wave of new medical facilities. October 21, 2026 5:00 AM Gift Article Area health systems are building hundreds of millions of dollars of medical facilities in Folsom as the population grows in the city and along the Highway 50 corridor. Kaiser Permanente marked the latest progress Tuesday, when the health system broke ground on a 187,000-square-foot outpatient facility along Iron Point Road, expected to open in May 2030. "We recognized that the community was growing. We also recognized the entire Highway 50 corridor was growing, and that we didn't have the specialty services along this area that we wanted," said Dr. Richard Florio, physician in chief for Kaiser's Roseville service area, which includes Folsom. "People want to live here. It's a great place to raise a family. It's a great place to retire." The Folsom end of the Sacramento region tends to see higher-than-normal wages and generally a good quality of life, said Greater Sacramento Economic Council President and CEO Barry Broome. The corridor has a presence of companies in the semiconductor industry, which the economic council has worked to attract. Intel announced last month that it will no longer sell its 162-acre campus in Folsom, two miles from the Kaiser site. "I think it makes it attractive to build," Broome said. "That's a fairly significant, consistent, high-end, industrial corridor with Micron, Qualcomm, Samsung and Intel... Fortunately for us, we're a growing region and a growing economy, so we continue to get better and improved healthcare assets." One mile east of Kaiser's project, Sutter Health is building a $145 million medical complex near the corner of Iron Point Road and Bidwell Street, expected to open next year. The health system is also planning a $4.3 million pediatric care center on Iron Point Circle. Just south of Highway 50, UC Davis Health opened a $182 million facility last year, and Dignity Health is building a $123 million ambulatory care center, expected to open next fall. Kaiser did not disclose the cost for its project. "I can only speculate on the other health systems," said Kevin Smith, Kaiser's interim senior vice president and area manager. "For Kaiser, we've been watching this growth in the community. And now's the right time for us." The city's population has grown to nearly 96,000 as of this year, up from 52,000 in 2000, according to data from the California Department of Finance. When Choose Folsom President and CEO Joe Gagliardi moved to the city in 1989, there were far fewer services, from healthcare to restaurants and entertainment. "It's a full-service city now. There are not really a lot of reasons to leave. And then on top of it, we're blessed to have two wonderful lakes, Folsom Lake and Lake Natoma, that allow us to be different than other places in the region," he said. "To have these campuses here, it really makes us a hub for the region." Local officials said patients in the Folsom area often have to travel to Roseville or Sacramento for specialized healthcare services. The new Folsom facility will likely draw patients from communities further east on Highway 50. The Kaiser center will offer surgery, orthopedics, urology, dermatology, oncology and gastrointestinal services. It will have 60 clinical offices and an urgent care. The project also includes an expansion of an existing surgery center - to 10 operating rooms from six - slated for completion in 2028. Kaiser officials said they will be hiring a range of healthcare workers for the new center, but that they did not yet have an estimate of how many. "The city of Folsom has really experienced tremendous growth," said Florio, the physician in chief. "As the city has changed, we want to make sure we change with it."

Sutter Health tests sleep-friendly hospital room innovations.

Sutter Health tests sleep-friendly hospital room innovations. Updated: 10:43 PM PDT Oct 7, 2026 Hospital rooms often make it difficult for patients to sleep due to bright lights and loud noises, but Sutter Health is working to change that at its Innovation Center in San Francisco. Joining Host Edie Lambert on California Tonight, Sutter Health's Chief Design and Innovation Officer Chris Waugh explained that losing sleep in a hospital is more than an inconvenience, it's a health issue. "The immune defense system is working hard to coordinate cellular defense and reduce inflammation, we see an opportunity for cardio-vascular recovery during sleep, your heart rate goes down," explained Waugh. The body also works on tissue repair and metabolic regulation as we sleep. It's especially important for hospital patients in recovery, helping patients recover faster, avoid being readmitted, and manage pain. "Just stepping back we realized we're not letting the body do that as much as it could during hospital stays," said Waugh. That's why his team started looking for innovations that could support better sleep in hospital rooms. One solution being tested is the use of red overhead lights at night, which are designed to avoid disrupting a patient's natural circadian rhythm, unlike standard blue and white lights. The red lights produce enough light for the care team to work in a room without activating a patient's hormones that signal it's time to wake up. For rooms without exterior windows, digital "windows" display outdoor images that sync with natural light - showing sunlight during the day and a dark sky with stars at night - to help patients stay awake during the day and sleep at night. In addition to supporting healthier sleep cycles, it can help some patients avoid a condition known as delirium, which is a common diagnosis in hospitals. "Delirium is really important to take care of because people can lose a sense of day and night and ultimately be confused," Waugh said. "It can extend length of stay, it can slow down the recovery process." Waugh's innovation team is also developing digital displays to improve communication. These displays provide clear, real-time information for patients, families, and care teams. They allow family members to join clinical discussions and care sessions remotely, offer AI-supported language interpretation and patient guidance tools, and include digital alerting and monitoring capabilities for nursing teams. The displays can also support virtual sitting and fall-prevention measures. To address noise, Sutter is working on monitors to measure the decibel levels both in the patient's room and in the hallway. It gets too noisy, care teams would be notified. "Remind folks and visitors that it's quiet and that patient is trying to rest," explained Waugh. Sutter Health plans to incorporate these technologies into two new hospitals being built in Santa Clara and Emeryville, which are expected to open around 2030 and 2031. Some features could be implemented as early as next year as part of remodeling efforts at its California Pacific Medical Centers in San Francisco.

YoloCares launches basketball grief program for male youths.

YoloCares launches basketball grief program for male youths. YoloCares recently rolled out a new bereavement program aimed at reaching the underserved demographic of young males. The California-based hospice's GriefBall initiative included a two-day basketball camp for bereaved boys and young men. YoloCares' Center for Loss & Hope partnered with the Sutter Health Foundation and the Junior Kings youth basketball camp, which is affiliated with the NBA team Sacramento Kings. The new bereavement care model is designed to address mental health challenges and unresolved grief in male youths who are often less likely to seek support, according to Chris Erdman, director of mission advancement of the Center for Loss & Hope at YoloCares. "How do we reach grieving boys and young men who may never walk into a conventional support group?" Erdman told Hospice News in an email. "Something GriefBall can offer [is that] a team can become a place where young people learn to carry one another through good times as well as bad. Basketball gave us a way to engage boys and young men through their bodies and through something familiar and meaningful to them." Bereaved males between the ages of 7 and 25 were eligible to participate in the GriefBall program. Each cohort was organized into different age-appropriate activities and conversations. YoloCares' bereavement professionals guided the grief discussions, while staff and volunteers at the organization helped facilitate activities. Participants in the youth bereavement program learned basketball skills, received grief education and heard stories of loss from athletes. Junior Kings coaches led the basketball activities. The grief initiative also featured opportunities for teens and young adults to mentor younger basketball players. The program focuses on building emotional resilience, healthy coping skills and lasting peer connections. Younger males are more likely to express unresolved grief through anger, isolation, depression or violence, Erdman said. YoloCares has sought ways to better reach this demographic in new, innovative ways. Peer connection and shared activities are keys to building trust and emotionally safe spaces for youths to grieve, according to Erdman. YoloCares launched the GriefBall program as part of a larger bereavement initiative. The hospice provider is seeking to expand the basketball grief program beyond two days into a "continuing pathway for connection and support," Erdman said. YoloCares plans to develop a similar program for young women and girls. "GriefBall is part of a larger effort to build bridges into grief that people often carry in isolation," Erdman said. "We've learned that young people need communities where loss can be spoken about without embarrassment and where strength does not mean carrying everything alone. That kind of community isn't always easy to find." Established in 1979, YoloCares provides hospice, palliative care and advance care planning across six counties in northern California. The nonprofit provides bereavement services through its Center for Loss & Hope. The hospice provider also operates an adult day program at its facility, Galileo Place. The organization's Center for Caregiving Support is designed to help address families' practical, emotional and medical needs. Additionally, YoloCares opened a residential hospice shelter for homeless populations in 2024, branded as Joshua's House. The hospice's Center for Loss & Hope measures the quality of its bereavement programs through participants' feedback across four domains. These areas include connection and belonging, understanding of grief, emotional regulation and resilience. YoloCares' new youth bereavement program is a unique model, Erdman stated. Partnering with a regional health system and a professional basketball team fueled an innovative approach to grief support. "What feels most useful for other hospices is the approach," Erdman told Hospice News. "Begin with the people you're struggling to reach, find a setting that matters to them, build relationships with partners who belong in that setting and ask what kind of growth the experience makes possible. In partnerships like this, hospice brings grief expertise, coaches and athletes bring movement and teamwork [and] a health system can help make the work possible and connect it across communities."

New chapter of care Opens in pleasanton. Sutter Opens New Urgent Care in San Francisco's Mission Bay Sep 28, 2026 Sutter Health New clinic brings same-day care to one of San Francisco's fastest-growing neighborhoods SAN FRANCISCO - Residents, workers and visitors in Mission Bay now have a new option for same-day medical care with the opening of Sutter Health's newest urgent care clinic near Oracle Park. Located at 240 King St., the 2,156-square-foot clinic has four exam rooms and portable X-ray equipment and is open seven days a week, 365 days a year. California State Sen. Scott Wiener, who represents Senate District 11, with Christina Oh, Sutter Health chief operating officer, during a recent visit to Sutter Health. "We are so excited to open our second urgent care in San Francisco," said Christina Oh, Sutter Health's chief operating officer. "People need care where they live and work, and this gives them another way to get care quickly, close to where they are." The new clinic builds on Sutter's longstanding presence in the neighborhood. "This has been a Sutter location for some time, and we saw an opportunity to build on that presence by bringing urgent care to this part of the city," said Liz Armstrong, CEO of Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation - South. "It's a way to better meet the needs of the people who live, work and spend time here." Urgent care provides same-day evaluation and treatment for many common illnesses and injuries, including infections, sprains and minor fractures. The clinic also offers lab services and can connect patients to primary care, specialists, imaging and other services across Sutter's network when additional care is needed. "At Sutter, we recognize that patients need access to a range of services across multiple care settings," said Dr. Jonathan Lee, chair of the Primary Care Service Line for Sutter West Bay Medical Group. "Urgent care is an important part of that continuum." The Mission Bay clinic is Sutter's second urgent care location in San Francisco and part of a broader expansion of same-day care across Northern California. Sutter currently operates more than 40 urgent care centers and plans to grow that network to more than 50 locations by 2030. Mission Bay has grown into a major hub for technology, education and sports, with Oracle Park and surrounding neighborhoods bringing residents, workers and visitors together throughout the year. "When someone gets sick or injured, they want a convenient option close by," said Carolin Delker, vice president of Sutter's Urgent Care Service Line. "This location gives people in Mission Bay another place to turn when they need care that can't wait for a regular appointment." The clinic was developed through a collaboration among Sutter's clinical, operations, technology and facility planning teams, along with construction and trade partners. "This project took a lot of people working together to bring it to life," said Kate Baust, senior director of operations for Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation - South. "We're excited to open the doors and start caring for patients in this community." Health topics.
