Effort Will Enable Patients, Visitors and Caregivers to Conveniently Power Their Vehicles While Receiving or Delivering Care

ATLANTA - EnviroSpark, a leading provider and operator of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, is proud to announce a new collaboration with Sutter Health, a not-for-profit integrated health network serving millions across California. The new EV chargers will enable patients, visitors, and caregivers to conveniently power their vehicles while receiving or delivering care, enhancing the overall experience at Sutter campuses. This collaboration supports Sutter's ongoing commitment to innovation, sustainability and patient-centered care.

The collaboration brings EV charging stations to multiple Sutter facilities, with installations already underway in Fremont and Oakland, Calif. including EnviroSpark's largest single network installation to date. More collaborations are planned across the San Francisco Bay Area and Central California.

"At Sutter Health, we are always seeking new ways to support the well-being of our patients and the communities we serve," said Bob Mitsch, vice president of Facility and Property Services for Sutter Health. "This agreement with EnviroSpark aligns with our commitment to innovation and sustainability, while making it easier for those who visit our care sites to focus on their health-not their fuel gauge."

"EnviroSpark recently completed a successful pilot installation of 32 electric vehicle chargers at the high-traffic parking garage of Sutter's Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland," said Angel Borja, senior director for Acute Facilities Management for Sutter's Greater San Francisco and East Bay division. "We've received overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, families, employees and physicians."

This installation was made possible through EnviroSpark's fully funded deployment model, which allowed Sutter to add EV infrastructure at no upfront or ongoing cost. By removing the financial and operational burdens, EnviroSpark makes it easy for partners to offer an amenity that supports sustainability and enhances overall visitor satisfaction.

EnviroSpark's CEO, Frank Woodling, said, "We're proud to support Sutter Health in its mission to provide accessible and compassionate care while also investing in sustainable infrastructure. Together, we're helping ensure that EV drivers across California have access to reliable charging where and when they need it most."

The collaboration reflects a growing demand for EV infrastructure in healthcare settings, particularly as California leads the charge toward a zero-emission transportation future. As more installations roll out in the coming months, Sutter and EnviroSpark will continue to deliver forward-thinking solutions that benefit both the environment and the communities they serve.
