Sutter Health

We recently celebrated the completion of Sutter Coast Hospital’s new EmPATH (Emergency Psychiatric Assessment, Treatment, and Healing) Center — the first of its kind within Sutter Health — marking an important step forward in behavioral health care for Del Norte County.

Too often, individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis have ended up in environments that weren’t designed to meet their needs. And while our teams always show up with compassion and expertise, we know that the setting matters.

Opening later this summer, the new EmPATH center is designed specifically to change that. The space will provide a calming, therapeutic environment where patients can receive specialized care from behavioral health professionals following emergency department assessment.

This milestone reflects the power of partnership among our care teams, community leaders, and local organizations. Together, we're expanding access and advancing care that meets the evolving needs of our communities.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this vision to life and who continues to shape the future of mental health care.

A day of flag football, confidence and inspiration. 🏈✨
