Sutter Health has announced a $442 million investment to establish a new advanced neurological and neurosurgical care complex in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood. The Mission Bernal Care Complex will span five stories and cover 129,000 square feet, offering various services, including neurology, neurosurgery, lab work, imaging, infusion, rehabilitation, and an on-site ambulatory surgery center. The new facility is expected to begin welcoming patients in 2028.
Known as the Mission Bernal Care Complex, this state-of-the-art facility will be built on the site of the former St. Luke’s Hospital, adjacent to the existing California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) Mission Bernal Campus. The healthcare giant has partnered with Boldt Co., a construction firm based in Appleton, Wisconsin, to deliver this ambitious project.
This development is part of Sutter Health’s broader five-year investment plan, which will see nearly $1 billion poured into healthcare infrastructure across San Francisco. The initiative aims to significantly expand access to specialized medical care for the city’s residents and the greater Bay Area offering a convenient, coordinated experience by housing specialists, diagnostic labs, imaging, and outpatient procedures all in one location.
Warner Thomas, CEO of Sutter Health, emphasized the organization’s commitment to meeting the community’s needs, stating, “We’re proud to invest more than $440 million in the community, planned in partnership with our physician colleagues, to deliver comprehensive neurological and neurosurgical care, notable specialized programs, and all support, diagnostic and ambulatory surgery services in this new state-of-the-art care complex.”
The Mission Bernal Care Complex will also house the Ray Dolby Brain Health Center and the Forbes Norris MDA/ALS Research and Treatment Center. These renowned programs will move to the new site, enhancing their capacity to provide cutting-edge treatments and participate in clinical research.
The complex will include medical services and modern amenities such as underground parking, which will enhance convenience for patients and their families. Once the facility is operational, the development will also bolster the local economy by creating job opportunities, ranging from construction positions to healthcare roles.
By investing in advanced facilities like the Mission Bernal Care Complex, Sutter Health is poised to meet the growing demand for high-quality neurological care and solidify its role as a leader in the healthcare industry.
