Sutter Health, a Northern California-based nonprofit integrated health system, recently finalized a lease of approximately 23,000 square feet of space at 5075 Hopyard Road and, a half-mile away, a lease for a 64,222-square-foot building at 4480 Willow Road. Sutter intends to offer a range of services in the newly leased spaces at Hacienda and anticipates opening the Hopyard Road facility in spring 2026. The Willow Road facility is expected to open in spring 2027. A full renovation of the leased spaces will begin next year.

“We are excited to grow our existing presence in the Tri-Valley area to create even more health care access in the community,” according to Kevin Cook, President of Sutter Health’s Greater Silicon Valley area. “Expanding our reach there is part of our commitment to significantly grow our care system to address the health care needs patients face.”

The Pleasanton leases are part of Sutter’s broader plan to add more than 25 new ambulatory care centers across its system in the next few years, underscoring its longstanding commitment to providing accessible, high-quality healthcare services across the region, officials say. They will also bring doctors from the Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group to the City of Pleasanton.

“We are excited about the opportunity to enhance healthcare access for residents of Pleasanton and the surrounding communities,” according to Dr. Kurt VandeVort, CEO of the Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group, a medical group of almost 2,000 physicians and advanced practice clinicians caring for Sutter patients. “While we are new to the City of Pleasanton, we aren’t new to the area. We hope to build on our established reputations in Dublin, Fremont, and Danville as we extend outpatient care services in this community.”

Sutter Health’s new locations at Hacienda will grow the nonprofit’s presence along the I-580 corridor in the East Bay. Nearby Sutter locations include Danville Center, Dublin Center, and Fremont Center, as well as Sutter’s Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley. Currently, Sutter is in the process of renovating 11,000 square feet of space on Southfront Road in Livermore, with plans to open a new care center at the site by summer 2025. The new care center will boast 16 exam rooms and accommodate eight providers offering internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, lab, and imaging services.

In July, Sutter announced that the Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group received high marks on recent report cards that rate how well physicians and advanced practice clinicians care for patients. Published by the California Center for Data Insights and Innovation’s Office of the Patient Advocate, the report cards are based on data from the Integrated Healthcare Association’s Align Measure Perform program. Measured on preventative care, cancer screenings, chronic disease care, and more, the Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group earned five stars, the highest rating possible, for clinical care of people insured through a commercial health maintenance organization (HMO) plan and four stars for clinical care of people enrolled in a Medicare advantage or Medicare HMO plan.

Sutter-aligned medical groups are its most important partners in Sutter’s mission to care for the nearly 3.5 million patients who rely on Sutter Health for healthcare services, notes Dr. Todd Smith, Sutter Health Senior Vice President and Chief Physician Executive. “With our nine aligned medical groups, we are providing industry-leading quality and patient experience to our patients and delivering on the promise to make Sutter the premier place to work, practice medicine, and receive care in California.”
