PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Sutter Health Alliance (formally known as Sutter Health Plan) is an affiliate of the Sutter Health system, a comprehensive network providing integrated care to more than 3 million patients annually through a network of hospitals, medical foundations, urgent and walk-in care centers, home health and hospice services. The Sutter Health system relies on the dedication of more than 85,000 clinicians, nurses, employees and volunteers to deliver high quality and affordable care to more than 100 communities. We believe that all people deserve access to excellent medical care-whoever they are and wherever they live. Sutter Health doctors, hospitals and other caregivers partner with each other to advance our medical services and increase patients' access to them. The primary purpose of Sutter Health Alliance is to improve the health of the community by increasing access to Sutter Health's network of high-quality doctors, hospitals and other health care services. The health plan promotes affordability through the delivery of cost-effective health care services; this includes partnering with our provider network to improve quality and reduce costs. Sutter Health Alliance is licensed by the Department of Managed Health Care as a Knox-Keene health maintenance organization with plan coverage beginning in January 2014. Sutter Health Alliance members are assigned primary care providers exclusively with physicians through related Sutter Health tax-exempt medical foundations. Sutter Health Alliance develops its plan products under a not-for-profit mission with a commitment to provide affordably priced HMO health plans in accordance with Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and federal guidelines that allow Northern California's socially and economically diverse communities to access high quality and accessible care at Sutter Health's network of doctors and hospitals. Sutter Health Alliance participates in activities designed to promote the general health of communities, promotes and encourages advancement and improvement of high-quality and cost-effective health care services; and facilitates the interchange of ideas among health care service organizations and communities served.
