For 30 years, tremors made everyday moments increasingly difficult for Cynthia, from signing her name to chopping vegetables in the kitchen. Then came a moment she won’t forget: holding a full cup of coffee in her right hand without shaking. ☕

This #Movember, we're highlighting more options for men facing prostate cancer. 💙
A growing class of treatments known as focal therapies is offering some patients a middle ground between active surveillance and surgery or radiation. By targeting cancer while preserving as much of the prostate as possible, these treatments offer an alternative to whole-gland treatment for some patients.
Sutter Health urologists Dr. Surat Phonsombat and Dr. Tin Ngo are offering two approaches, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and irreversible electroporation (IRE), as part of individualized prostate cancer care.
“It’s not one-plan-fits-all,” Dr. Phonsombat said. “Every time we have a new prostate cancer patient, we provide individualized care to that patient.”

A safe harbor for our smallest patients. 💙
Sutter Health’s CPMC has opened The Cove, a specialized small baby unit within its NICU at the Van Ness campus, designed to care for extremely premature infants born before 29 weeks gestation or weighing less than 1,000 grams.
With quieter, darker rooms that support infant development and allow families to stay close, The Cove brings together a specially designed environment, specialized care protocols and a multidisciplinary team dedicated to the unique needs of these vulnerable newborns.
Made possible with support from the Deikel Family Foundation, this new unit is helping strengthen access to highly specialized neonatal care for babies and families throughout the Bay Area and surrounding communities.
Thank you to the dedicated care teams and everyone who helped bring The Cove to life! 💙

What could the next advances in breast cancer care look like?
For Dr. Charles McDonnell, it means studying new ways to diagnose breast cancer earlier, with the goal of improving timely care and driving better outcomes. For Dr. Nitin Rohatgi, it means looking at novel ways to identify patients who may be at risk of stopping hormone therapy so they can get support sooner.

Sometimes, the most beautiful things happen when we learn to let go. 🎨💗
For Jenny Egbert, watercolor painting has always been a lesson in embracing the unexpected. That same perspective helped guide her through a challenging journey with triple-negative breast cancer.

Through a clinical trial at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, she found another treatment option and renewed hope for the future.
Today, Jenny is embracing life's beautiful, unpredictable moments and focusing on what matters most: the people she loves and the memories still to be made.

What if one blood test could help detect cancers that often lack routine screening options? 💙
New findings from the PATHFINDER 2 study are providing important evidence about GRAIL’s investigational Galleri® multi-cancer early detection blood test, designed to screen for more than 50 cancers.
Sutter Health was the study’s second-highest enrolling site nationwide, helping connect thousands of adults with research that could shape the future of cancer detection. Led at Sutter by physician-investigators Dr. Charles McDonnell and Dr. Natalia Colocci, the study found 70% of cancers detected by the blood test were those without nationally recommended screening options.
These results show progress in identifying new ways to detect cancer earlier, while researchers continue to study which patients are most likely to benefit and how testing may affect outcomes, follow-up care, cost and access.

Big plays, big smiles and even bigger possibilities. 🏈
The energy was contagious as young athletes took the field for another girls' flag football camp with Sutter Health, Pro Football Hall of Famers Steve Young and Jerry Rice, and the Forever Young Foundation.
From learning new skills to building confidence and making connections, the day was about so much more than football. It was about inspiring the next generation of girls to believe in themselves, support one another and discover what they can achieve.
Here's to more opportunities for girls to shine, on and off the field! ✨

Jude Farhat’s path to medical school was anything but traditional. 💙
Growing up in South Sacramento as the daughter of Syrian immigrants, Farhat faced challenges that strengthened her resilience and determination to pursue medicine and serve communities that often feel overlooked.
From community college to UC Davis, she gained clinical experience, including volunteering at a student-run clinic serving uninsured patients, reinforcing her desire to help people feel seen and understood.
That mission led Farhat to Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, where receiving the Sutter Health CDU Scholarship helped make her dream possible.
“Through this scholarship, I can achieve my goal of becoming an outstanding physician and medical researcher who amplifies marginalized voices and advocates for underserved communities,” Farhat said.
