Hospitals
California Northstate University College of Medicine is affiliated with Kaiser Permanente of Northern California and Sutter Health Hospitals. Clinical clerkships are located at multiple sites in Northern California, including but not limited to Kaiser Permanente, Dignity Health, and Sutter Health hospitals.
On Dec 20, 2018, the California Northstate University Medical Center was announced. It was expected to open in 2022, in Elk Grove, with 250 beds and a level 2 trauma center in the ER. This $750 million project is expected to generate 24,000 jobs and $4.04 billion over the next 10 years. The plan was rejected by the Elk Grove Planning Commission in early 2021 and alternate sites were proposed. In mid-June 2021, the school announced its medical center would be built on property near Interstate 5 formerly known as the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California. http://www.egcitizen.com/news/cnu-hospital-once-slated-for-elk-grove-to-be-built-in-sacramento/article_d0ff5386-d5dd-11eb-90ac-47aeda1e1240.html
