Sutter Health has finalized the purchase of a site in Folsom, California, for approximately $21.7 million. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for the health system’s planned $145 million outpatient Folsom Care Complex. The facility is set to span 106,500 square feet and will include a variety of medical services, such as an advanced cancer center, same-day surgery facilities, and expanded urgent care.
Construction activity is already noticeable on the site, indicating the project is progressing as planned. Sutter Health anticipates that the new campus will begin serving patients in fall 2027. The land transaction first appeared in city records in late January, with a building permit confirming Sutter as the property owner for the Broadstone site.
Details of the Folsom Care Complex
The Folsom Care Complex will feature a comprehensive Advanced Cancer Center that provides both infusion and radiation therapy. Additional services will include a same-day outpatient surgery center and expanded primary care and urgent care options. Sutter Health aims to enhance medical services along the Highway 50 corridor, which will benefit local residents by reducing the need for travel to Sacramento or Roseville for specialist appointments.
The campus is part of the Broadstone Crossing Phase II plan, situated along Cavitt Drive. According to planning documents, the site is designated for office and medical uses. Environmental assessments and city filings outline a multi-lot layout that will accommodate three buildings, with the medical facility being the largest.
Impact on Local Infrastructure
In preparation for the increased traffic that the new medical campus will generate, developer Elliott Homes has committed to funding significant roadway and pedestrian improvements. This includes an upfront deposit intended to expedite the design for a pedestrian bridge over East Bidwell. These enhancements are part of the city’s strategy to manage congestion, particularly around the Palladio area, as the medical complex becomes operational.
Current building permit activity indicates that contractors are actively progressing with site work, including foundational and steel construction. The recent permit filings affirm that Sutter Health officially owns the land, paving the way for further developments. As construction continues, Sutter Health plans to transition into shell construction in the coming months, setting the stage for future medical tenant build-outs.
Once completed, the Folsom Care Complex is expected to bring numerous specialists and additional medical services to the area, significantly improving access to healthcare for local patients. With the anticipated patient services launch in fall 2027, residents and commuters will closely monitor construction progress and related infrastructure developments.
