Palo Alto, Calif.-based Stanford Medicine and Sacramento, Calif.-based Sutter Health held a ribbon-cutting ceremony ahead of the planned Dec. 1 opening of the Stanford Medicine Sutter Health Cancer Center in Oakland, Calif.
The outpatient cancer center is located on Sutter Health’s Alta Bates Summit Medical Center campus, according to a Nov. 9 news release from Stanford Medicine.
The center will offer outpatient clinics, infusion, imaging, radiation oncology, ambulatory surgery, breast health and pharmacy services, along with clinical research, genetic counseling, nurse navigation and survivorship programs.
Physicians from both systems will work in disease-based clinical teams at the center, which is expected to launch with more than 70 physicians and advanced practice providers and more than 300 staff. Patients will also have on-site access to clinical research from both organizations, the release said.
The center is expected to be fully operational by February 2027.
The organizations first partnered in 2021 with the launch of the Stanford Medicine | Sutter Health Cancer Collaborative, which provides outpatient cancer care to patients in the San Francisco Bay Area’s East Bay region.
