• No. We appreciate your commitment to the community, but we can only
support your commitments in the form of Community Award Investments OR
sponsorships. If you have questions about this, email
shssrsponsorships@sutterhealth.org.
What is the difference between a Community Award Investment and a
sponsorship?
• Community Investments (grants) are based on our community health needs
assessment and focus on programs that increase access for the underinsured.

support community.
