With roots dating as far back as 1876, Sutter Amador Hospital as it is today started to work in 1952, receiving further expansions and improvements over the course of the years, culminating with the new Emergency, Intensive Care and Radiology departments in 1990, the same year that Sutter Health (a non profit organization that operates 26 hospitals and many more medical facilities in California) assumed management of the hospital. But it wasn?t until 1993 that the hospital was renamed Sutter Amador Hospital. Today, after inaugurating a brand new building in 2000, Sutter Amador Hospital is a 66-bed medical center, certified by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, with an annual budget of $26 million that offers its services to the residents of Amador County, CA, services that amounted to 33,005 outpatient visits in 2004.
