Elk Grove’s long-promised full-service hospital is still more concept than concrete, and Dignity Health is no longer saying when that might change. The health system now says it has no timeline to share for its planned acute-care campus inside city limits, leaving residents to wonder how much longer they will be driving out of town for emergency care. The hospital has been pitched for years as the modern successor to Methodist Hospital and as a local hub for emergency, surgical, and women’s services, but the site at Elk Grove Boulevard and Wymark Drive shows little sign of active construction. Earlier online materials that once floated a 2026 to 2027 opening window have either disappeared or been marked as outdated.

Sacramento Clinic Caught In Data Nightmare Points Finger At Outside Vendor
One Community Health is telling patients that a recent data scare started outside its walls, not inside its own computer systems. The Sacramento nonprofit says a third-party vendor is to blame, even as it faces a lawsuit from a patient who claims sensitive medical and personal information was exposed.
