Sutter Health expands cardiac and cancer care. * written by michael singer * apr 15, 2026 updated apr 15, 2026 * 0. Sutter continues to grow its regional footprint in Castro Valley to deliver specialized, compassionate care in a more accessible, community-based setting. * Photos courtesy of Sutter Health Sutter continues to grow its regional footprint in Castro Valley to deliver specialized, compassionate care in a more accessible, community-based setting. * Photos courtesy of Sutter Health A new specialty care center in Castro Valley is aiming to make it easier for residents to access advanced heart and cancer treatment close to home. Officials from Sutter East Bay Medical Foundation and Sutter East Bay Medical Group recently celebrated the opening of the Castro Valley Cardiovascular and Oncology Care Center, located on Lake Chabot Road. The facility brings cardiology and oncology services together under one roof, an approach designed to improve coordination and convenience for patients and families. The new center reflects a broader effort by Sutter Health to expand access to specialized care in community settings, reducing the need for patients to travel long distances for treatment. By offering services locally, healthcare leaders say patients can spend less time commuting and more time focusing on recovery. "This is an important step in bringing high-quality cardiology and oncology services directly into the community," said Genea Wilson, CEO of Sutter East Bay Medical Foundation, during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. She noted that receiving care close to home can significantly ease the burden on patients and their families. A key feature of the new facility is its integrated care model. By housing heart and cancer specialists in the same location, providers can collaborate more closely on patient care, leading to more coordinated treatment plans and potentially better outcomes. Dr. Rob Nordgren, chief medical officer for Sutter's Greater San Francisco and East Bay Division, said the center represents a shift toward a more comprehensive, patient-focused approach. He emphasized the importance of combining advanced diagnostics, modern technology, and a whole-person view of health to guide treatment decisions. The center also works closely with nearby Eden Medical Center, helping ensure continuity of care from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. For cardiology patients, the facility emphasizes prevention and early detection. Physicians say that by identifying cardiovascular risks earlier, often before symptoms develop, they can help patients make lifestyle changes and receive treatment sooner, potentially avoiding more serious complications. Cancer patients may also benefit from the center's location. Receiving oncology care locally can reduce travel time and stress, especially for those undergoing frequent treatments. Doctors say this convenience can improve both the patient experience and overall care coordination. Healthcare leaders credited the project's success to collaboration among physicians, nurses, staff, and community partners. They say the new center is part of a larger plan to expand services throughout the East Bay.
