Local healthcare landscape in West Sacramento
West Sacramento's General Plan 2035, approved in November 2016, depicts the neighborhoods and districts that make up the city, defined by the age of neighborhoods or districts, land use types, streets and development patterns. It lists Washington, Bridge District, Pioneer Bluff and Stone Lock as waterfront districts, which the plan says will become mixed-use districts lining the Sacramento River, and Broderick, Bryte, Michigan/Glide and Old West Sacramento as historic city neighborhoods, alongside the Southport villages. In 1986 voters approved a measure to incorporate the distinct communities of Broderick, Bryte, West Sacramento and Southport. The plan includes a goal to promote access to health care and medical services for all residents and employees. UC Davis Health lists UC Davis Medical Center at 4301 X St. in Sacramento.
