Bay Area's First New Medical School in a Century Debuts with $175M Gift
Sutter Health and Santa Clara University announced the Mark & Mary Stevens School of Medicine, the Bay Area's first new medical school in over a century, funded by a $175 million gift from Mary Stevens and Mark Stevens. The school will be embedded within Sutter Health's integrated health system, combining education, research, and patient care, and will leverage Santa Clara University's AI and ethics initiatives; the inaugural class will follow a multi-year accreditation process, and construction is underway for a new 272-bed, eight-story medical center by 2031.
