February is American Heart Month, a reminder about the importance of focusing on cardiovascular health. Heart disease remains the leading cause of mortality for people in the United States, which may be surprising given that it receives far less media attention than many other conditions. In fact, cardiovascular disease claims more lives than all forms of cancer and accidental deaths combined, according to the American Heart Association.
In today’s busy world, finding the time to manage health can be a challenge. Scheduling an appointment by phone during work hours, waiting on hold for a quick question, or anticipating a call with test results can all create barriers to getting the right care when needed. Sutter Health Plan makes staying connected to your care and coverage easier than ever.
Sutter Health Plan is excited to announce a transition to a new behavioral health partner, Carelon Behavioral Health of California, Inc. (Carelon), effective Jan. 1, 2026. Carelon brings more than 40 years of experience in behavioral health, offering comprehensive care for mental health and substance use disorder needs.
