WellSpace Health, a local nonprofit healthcare provider, has broken ground on a new health campus project in south Sacramento's Stockton Boulevard area. The property was originally envisioned as an 'office condo' complex in the early 2000s before WellSpace acquired it and announced plans to transform the long-vacant site into a community-focused health and wellness hub.

Why it matters

The new WellSpace Health campus aims to address healthcare access and social determinants of health in an underserved area of Sacramento. By repurposing a vacant commercial property, the nonprofit is bringing much-needed medical services, community programs, and economic investment to a neighborhood that has historically lacked adequate healthcare resources.

The details

WellSpace Health, a Sacramento-based nonprofit healthcare organization, has begun construction on a new multi-use health campus at the former 'office condo' site on Stockton Boulevard. The 3.5-acre property had sat vacant for over a decade before WellSpace purchased it and announced plans to transform the space into a centralized hub for medical services, community programs, and social services.

  • WellSpace Health first acquired the Stockton Boulevard property in 2024.
  • Ground was officially broken on the new health campus project in April 2026.
