Sutter Health's First Bay Area 'Walk-In Care' Clinic Opens In Petaluma

PETALUMA, CA – Sutter Health announced the opening of Sutter Walk-In Care locations in Petaluma and five other Bay Area communities this spring and summer.

The first location opened April 27 at the Deer Creek Village in Petaluma at 411 North McDowell Blvd., Unit 41, Suite 110. Sutter Walk-In Care, a service of Sutter Health’s Palo Alto Medical Foundation, is open seven days a week (except on major holidays) in a stand-alone storefront.

Staffed by nurse practitioners and physician assistants, the clinic can provide treatment for common illnesses, conduct health screenings, provide vaccinations and perform routine and sports physicals. Medical staff members can also approve refills for many common medications.

"Consumers are actively seeking quick and affordable solutions for their immediate healthcare needs," said Dr. Don Wreden, Sutter Health senior vice president, Patient Experience. "Many people need high-quality care beyond the standard work week, and we’re innovating to make care even more convenient – all while maintaining the personal level of support you’ve come to expect from our pioneering team."

Other Sutter Walk-In Care locations will open in San Francisco on June 13, Walnut Creek on June 29, Dublin on July 13 and San Ramon on Aug. 10. A sixth location is planned in San Jose.
