Across Sutter, we're growing efforts to introduce students to healthcare careers early and create meaningful pathways into the field. This summer, Alta Bates Summit Medical Center launched its first-ever Pre-Med Internship Summer Program, welcoming 12 students for an immersive look at the people, teamwork and expertise behind patient care. Over eight weeks, students rotated through hospital departments, learned directly from healthcare professionals and gained firsthand insight into the many roles that work together to care for patients and communities. See how this new program is helping shape the healthcare workforce of tomorrow: https://bit.ly/4qyKrQE.

The future of healthcare begins with investing in those who will lead it. Through our partnership with Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, we're proud to provide full-ride scholarships and opportunities for medical students to learn alongside Sutter physicians and researchers. Hear directly from scholarship recipients about how this support is shaping their journey to medicine.

We're advancing cardiovascular care at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento! SMCS was among the first hospitals to adopt the JenaValve transcatheter heart valve and Edwards SAPIEN M3 system following their transition beyond the clinical trial setting. The program also achieved the first nontrial JenaValve case in the nation and is one of two systems in Northern California commercially using the Edwards SAPIEN M3 system. These milestones reflect the expertise, collaboration and dedication of our physicians, advanced practice clinicians, cath lab teams, coordinators, HCHA partners and inpatient and outpatient colleagues who work together to deliver exceptional care for our patients. #SutterProud
