Sutter Health announced plans to build a new medical center on a 13.63-acre site near Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. The new flagship facility is part of Sutter’s more than 100-year commitment to expanding access and meeting the evolving needs of patients across the region. As part of a dual-campus investment, Sutter is bringing even more integrated healthcare services directly to one of the fastest-growing communities in the state. It will also build on the significant physician presence in Silicon Valley through the Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group (PAFMG). 

Sutter will build the planned eight-story medical center at 2831 and 2841 Mission College Blvd., replacing the existing office park. 

Once complete, the approximately 850,000-square-foot medical center will feature: 

• 272 licensed beds in private patient rooms, with room to add 30 more beds to meet future demand 
• Private patient rooms 
• A full-service emergency department 
• Intensive care units 
• Labor and delivery suites and a Level III neonatal intensive care unit 
• Advanced operating rooms and surgical services 
• Environmentally responsible building design 
• A rooftop helipad for emergency transport 
• Access for community and community physicians 

Sutter Medical Center, Santa Clara is part of the health system’s plan for a broader integrated healthcare ecosystem in Silicon Valley. It will offer a comprehensive location with the latest state-of-the-art technology and innovations that enhance both patient care and patient experience, such as virtual monitoring, personalized patient controls and best practices around use of space to ensure a welcoming environment for patients, visitors and staff. 

Patients will benefit from seamless connections across the full continuum of care – from the dedicated medical center to primary care, urgent care, specialty clinics, mental health services, home care, diagnostic imaging and ambulatory surgery centers. In 2024, Sutter and The Sobrato Organization announced plans in Santa Clara that included four buildings, more than one million square feet of ambulatory space adjacent to the medical center and at a second site about one mile away, creating hubs for specialty care in cancer, women’s health, orthopedics and sports medicine, heart and vascular services and more. 

The Sutter East Santa Clara Care Center at 2441 Mission College Blvd. opened on Oct. 20, making it the first of the new ambulatory buildings to open. The center offers adult and pediatric urgent care, internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, cardiology and cutting-edge lab and imaging services. 

Sutter projects the medical center will open in late 2031.
