Introduction '''Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento''' (SMCS) is a medical center in Sacramento, California, that has been named one of the Top 100 Hospitals in the US for five years, including 2013–2015.It is owned and operated by Sutter Health, a Northern California not-for-profit health system. The center offers both community-based and tertiary medical services. In 2015, the center consolidated its Sutter Memorial Hospital campus in East Sacramento with its midtown Sutter General Hospital location, with the opening of the Anderson Lucchetti Women's and Children's Center and the complete remodeling of Sutter General Hospital into the Ose Adams Medical Pavilion. The midtown location is where Sutter Health's first hospital, Sutter Hospital, opened in 1923.The center also includes Sutter Center for Psychiatry, providing psychiatric, mental health and chemical dependency services since 1958.
Facilities ===Ose Adams Medical Pavilion===The 274-bed specialty medical center focuses on general acute medical/surgical care as well as a medical base to advanced services for cancer, orthopedics, spine and neurology and neurosurgery. Sutter Hospital originally opened on the site of the current Buhler Specialty Pavilion in 1923 as California's largest and most advanced hospital at the time. The hospital was constructed in 1987, went through a complete renovation from 2010 to 2015 while continuing to care for patients, and it was renamed the Ose Adams Medical Pavilion on August 8, 2015.Ose Adams is also the site for Sutter's emergency services, including a children's-only emergency waiting room and department.The medical pavilion is currently the site for in-patient services of the Sutter Orthopaedic Institute, Sutter Heart & Vascular Institute, Sutter Neuroscience Institute and Sutter Cancer Center.===Anderson Lucchetti Women's and Children's Center===The Anderson Lucchetti Women's and Children's Center is a 242-bed specialty center for pediatrics and women's services, including the labor of pregnant women and delivery of newborns.
