Enhanced access for UC Davis employees and dependents

UC Davis Health is proud to offer enhanced access to our world-class care for employees and their loved ones.

Under a new program, all UC Davis employees and their dependents in a UC Davis Health-sponsored HMO or PPO medical plan (excluding Kaiser) can receive higher-priority access to UC Davis Health care, such as additional blocks of weekday, evening or weekend appointments. 

Convenient locations and urgent care options

We proudly offer patient-centered care at clinic locations close to home and work, from Auburn to Elk Grove and Davis to Roseville.

For example, we have two clinics in Davis  – including one right on the UC Davis campus –  plus a clinic in Midtown Sacramento and several on our Sacramento campus. And we just opened a large new one-stop clinic in Folsom. To view all locations, see our clinics directory

We also offer employees a wide variety of options for urgent care and after-hours care.
