Since 1937, when it opened as Sutter Maternity Hospital, Sutter Memorial Hospital has been the regional center for birth and newborn care. Part of the two-campus Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, Sutter Memorial is where every expectant mother, including those experiencing high-risk pregnancies, can turn for the region’s most advanced care. More babies have entered the world through Sutter Memorial than any other hospital in the region.

And here is our Doc! Dr. Chan is a really nice, easy-going, friendly guy. He's been very pleasant so far. He came highly recommended by a friend who has used him for two deliveries.
