MENTAL HEALTH WIN: Sutter Health will receive Bond Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) funding to expand behavioral health services across Northern California. This state-funded investment strengthens ongoing commitments to enhance our behavioral health infrastructure, increase access in underserved communities, and deliver high-quality, patient-centered care across the region. “At Sutter Health, we are focused on expanding access to innovative, high-quality care in every community we serve,” said Warner Thomas, Sutter Health president and CEO. “Bond BHCIP funding supports our mission by helping us strengthen mental health infrastructure and bringing timelier, coordinated behavioral health services to people who need them most. This investment aligns with our commitment to expanding mental health access and meeting the growing needs of patients and families across Northern California.” This funding supports projects at Sutter Center for Psychiatry in Sacramento and Sutter Coast Hospital in Del Norte County, expanding inpatient and outpatient capacity, strengthening care coordination, and improving access for patients in critical need.

For Kat, this mission is deeply personal.
