Hands-on-Healing

At San Francisco’s California Pacific Medical Center, part of the Sutter Health network, we deliver personal, hands-on care to every single patient, every single day. As one of California’s largest private, community-based, not-for-profit, teaching medical centers, we research the most up-to-date treatments, hire the most qualified individuals, and practice the most modern, innovative medicine available. We deliver the highest quality expert care, with kindness and compassion, in acute, post-acute and outpatient services, as well as preventive and complementary medicine. We also provide disease counseling, family support and wellness treatments. Throughout the entire organization, every member of the CPMC team is committed to giving our patients the individual, hands-on attention they deserve. Every hand plays a part, and every hand has the power to change a life.

We support that goal by continually striving to excel in these seven focus areas:

Great Physicians...
...bring expert skills, advanced knowledge, and a multitude of other resources to bear in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. At California Pacific, we give our physicians the opportunity to apply those resources in a supportive environment.

People Who Care...
...bring compassion, understanding, intelligence and sensitivity to the healing process. The people at California Pacific recognize that the opportunity to be of service to another human being is more than a job, it's a privilege.

Advanced Technology...
...provides us with new and more effective ways to treat illness, alleviate suffering, and accelerate recovery. When advanced technology touches the world of humanity, it can save lives.


Easily Accessible...
...means reaching out and finding care, where and when you need it most. It could be a voice on the phone; a fellow survivor who offers support; the freedom to choose one location and another. Whatever your starting point, ease of accessibility is the first step to getting better.

A Community Resource...
...is what we are committed to be for out patients. We recognize that sustaining good health requires active involvement from families and friends; teachers and students; doctors and patients.



Committed to Research...
...means having the courage to ask the hard questions and do whatever it takes to arrive at the right answers. At the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, ongoing education, thoughtful research, and clinical investigation drive the momentum of scientific discovery.

Your Partner in Health Care...
...embodies our community's generous spirit of giving so that we can offer you the latest technology, programs and services. Because life is precious, we encourage giving to life and a lifetime of giving.
