The UC Davis Health Facilities Planning and Development division (FP&D) is responsible for planning and executing UC Davis Health’s commitment to providing cutting-edge healthcare to the Sacramento region and beyond.

The delivery of this incredible program requires a dedicated and expert team of planning, design, construction and real estate professionals managing a total portfolio of projects numbering in the hundreds.
Beyond Vision 2030, FP&D advises and assists UC Davis Health’s leadership with the planning, oversight and allocation of investments in future and existing capital and space improvements for all of UC Davis Health.
