biergarten, we have an unexpected journey for all. These

one-of-a-kind experience at Sutter Street’s first speakeasy-style 

bar. Hidden cleverly inside Gaslight Co., The Backroom boasts a 

breathtakingly beautiful interior with a moody, dimly lit ambiance. 

Come for the vibe but stay for the impressive collection of spirits 

(including a thoughtfully curated library of rare and highly soughtafter 

whiskeys) and high-end cocktails that regularly rotate. 718 Sutter

HEALTH CARE IS 

HAPPENING HERE 

{ By Bill Romanelli } 

The promise of Folsom’s future is on vivid display as the region’s largest 

health care systems begin construction on an array of new buildings, service 

offerings, and staffing. Folsom will always be “Distinctive by Nature,” 

but there’s no denying the growth in this area is also making the city an 

integrated health care hub. 

Dignity Health is moving forward with plans on a 30-acre parcel in the 

Folsom Ranch area for a new 530,000-square foot medical campus that 

will ultimately include an outpatient surgery center, imaging, urgent care, 

infusion services, and a 300-bed hospital. Phase One—a 66,000-square-foot 

medical office building—should be complete in 2026. 


S Y M M E T R Y 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“As Folsom and the surrounding area continue to grow, we’re 

prepared to grow with it,” says Brittany Bresler, Dignity’s vice 

president of strategy and development. “Folsom is also our home, 

and we are grateful to serve the health care needs of the community 

today and in the future.” 

UC Davis Health is preparing its 35-acre parcel at East Bidwell Street 

and Highway 50 for the first of three projects: a 112,000-square-foot 

outpatient clinic, which will include primary and specialty care, lab 

services, ophthalmology, imaging, and infusion suites. The $171 million 

project will be completed by 2025, followed by a new surgery center, 

hotel, and micro-hospital with an emergency department and 30 beds. 

“We’re excited to expand and innovate patient care in Folsom,” says 

Mike Condrin, interim chief administrator for UC Davis Medical Center, 

via press release. “The beauty of this project is we can adapt and grow 

with the community.” UC Davis Health is also collaborating with AKT 

Development to develop a first-in-the-world “Community for Health 

and Independence” in the region. 

Kaiser Permanente is advancing on its proposed 260,000 

square foot Comprehensive Care Center at its property on Palladio 

Parkway. The Comprehensive Care Center will include a new 

surgery center, urgent care, and more than 90 clinical offices, 

along with pharmacy and imaging services. Kim Menzel, Kaiser 

Permanente area manager, says the facility will add an estimated 

400 permanent jobs to the community. 

Sutter Health is also expanding in Folsom, with plans for a 

100,000-square foot ambulatory care center to be developed in 

partnership with Elliott Homes. When completed it will offer a full 

complement of primary and specialty care services, including family 

medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics. “We already see a higher 

patient need here, and we’re anticipating that as Folsom continues 

to grow that need will grow with it,” says Ryan Loufbourrow, Sutter 

Health government affairs director.

With so many health care projects in the pipeline, each leading 

to new high-paying jobs and innumerable ancillary services, local 

business leaders are bullish about Folsom’s future. “These health 

care developments are a catalyst for economic vitality,” says Laura 

Fickle, economic development consultant for the Folsom Chamber of 

Commerce/Choose Folsom. “These projects will create a ripple effect 

that invigorates local businesses, attracts top-tier talent, and elevates 

the city’s profile as a great place to live, work, and play.”

ME TIME MATTERS 

SELF-CARE IDEAS 

Self-care has become a bit of a buzz word in 

the last few years—it even has 5.68 billion 

Google search results! But what exactly 

is self-care? To many, it’s the process of 

establishing personal behaviors and activities 

that promote and support your mental wellbeing. 

Even small tasks like a bedtime routine 

or morning walk are considered self-care 

rituals. If you’re looking for a few new ways 

to add more self-care into your life, here are 

some local ways to get you out and about and 

feeling better than ever. 

Take a yoga class 

Head to Leap Yoga (1725 Iron Point Road, 

916-608-5327, leapyoga.net) or Spotted Dog 

Yoga & SUP (2780 East Bidwell Street, Suite 

300, 916-990-1720, spotteddogyoga.com) 

for a variety of group classes that cater to all 

levels. What’s more rejuvenating than ending 

your yoga practice with savasana? 

Meditate 

Head to a park for your own solo meditation 

practice, use an app in the comfort of 

your own home, or check out local gyms, 

including California Family Fitness (700 

Oak Avenue Parkway, 916-932-0100, 

californiafamilyfitness.com), that offer group 

meditation classes. 

{ By Kourtney Jason }

Find out what is included 

in the cost of the 

community or care home. 

3. What amenities do you 

want/need? 

4. Visit websites and visit 

in-person.

Everything Old 

is New Again 

HISTORIC FOLSOM’S 

MUST-VISIT MUSEUMS 

Nestled in the picturesque foothills 

of Northern California, Folsom offers 

an abundance of natural beauty and 

outdoor opportunities. Boasting a thriving 

community of fitness enthusiasts, Folsom 

presents an array of top-notch running and 

biking trails for both locals and visitors to 

explore. Whether you’re an avid runner, 

a cycling enthusiast, or simply looking 

to immerse yourself in nature, these five 

trails are sure to captivate your heart and 

invigorate your spirit. 

{ By Linda Holderness } 

the past year or so, it’s time to take a fresh 

stroll through the birthplace of our city. You 

may be surprised at the changes. Everything 

old is new again. Folsom’s storied past, with 

its Gold Rush and railroad roots, is still the 

area’s centerpiece. But history isn’t defined 

by one generation, and Folsom History, the 

rebranded name for the Folsom Historical 

Society, has reinterpreted these early 

milestones for 21st-century visitors. In the 

process, a compelling and unifying thread 

has been pulled: Innovation. 

American River Bike Trail (Jedediah 

Smith Memorial Trail): 

If you haven’t visited Historic Folsom in 

Innovation shaped the success of Folsom 

from its beginning. The city’s founder, 

Joseph Folsom, planned a railroad town 

that would endure after the gold panned 

out. The man he chose to survey his town, 

Theodore D. Judah, mapped a rail route 

through the Sierra when experts said it 

couldn’t be done. The Folsom Powerhouse 

pioneered the long-distance transmission of 

electricity. We built bridges that challenged 

norms, lured high-tech employers before 

most people understood the term, and now 

the Northern California Innovation District 

fosters entrepreneurs from around the 

world in the century-old Granite School. 

With the new focus has come some 

restructuring. Folsom History, under 

Executive Director Rita Mukherjee 

Hoffstadt, oversees three museums: the 

Folsom History Museum, The Square 

(formerly Pioneer Village), and the future 

Chinese Heritage Museum. Here is a brief 

look at them: 

Folsom History Museum 

The new permanent exhibit, A History of 

Innovation, is complemented by annual 

rotating exhibits. 100 Years at Folsom 

High just made way for Made in Folsom, a 

celebration of people and businesses that 

have shaped Folsom history. The “quilt 

corner” keeps alive Folsom’s antique quilt 


tradition with rotating displays from the museum’s collection. The 

gift shop is packed with items related to all eras of Folsom’s past. 

The future includes expanding the space for more programming. 

The Square 

Mukherjee Hoffstadt calls this a “makerspace” where people 

will gather, as in a traditional town square, to mingle and try 

their hand at gold panning and crafts or explore old farm 

equipment and a real caboose. School visitors make and then 

take wood-burned coasters. Teen volunteers lead many of the 

maker activities. Probably the biggest draw on The Square is the 

working blacksmith forge. Here, professional smithies educate 

you about their craft as they shape “mild steel” pieces to sell; 

blacksmiths don’t work with iron because it’s too soft. A “hidden 

secret,” Mukherjee Hoffstadt says, is that the forge offers 

training to become a journeyman blacksmith. 

Chinese Heritage Museum 

Not yet open, this museum, in the home of Howard and Mabel 

Chan, will honor Folsom’s Chinese families. Folsom’s population 

during the Gold Rush was one-quarter Chinese, and during the 

1880s, its Chinese community was the second largest in California. 

With two years under her belt as executive director, Hoffstadt, too, 

embraces innovation. “We want to give people a story,” she says, 

“not just dates but why things happened and continue to change. 

What we do today will be the past tomorrow.”

I IS FOR 

ICE CREAM 

5 SWEETS SPOTS 

{ By Julie Ryan } 

Legend has it that the origin of ice cream and 

other frozen desserts began in ancient China. 

The icy cold treats made their way to America 

in the 1700s and have evolved through 

the years, from ice cream sandwiches and 

gelato to popsicles, snow cones, and more. 

Whatever “cool” confection you’re craving, 

Folsom has plenty of sweet spots! 

Family-owned and voted #1 ice cream in 

the Sacramento area for over 40 years, 

Leatherby’s is known for their gigantic 

sundaes and kid-friendly atmosphere. From 

Daddy Dave’s Banana Split to Matthews’s 

Small Sundae, there’s something for 

everyone. Most dishes are shareable, too! 

2455 Iron Point Road, Folsom, 916-510-2373, 

leatherbys.net 

Handel’s offers over 100 flavors of delicious 

ice cream, so the only problem you’ll have is 

deciding which one you want! They also have 

vegan, fat-free, and sugar-free options, in 

addition to refreshing sorbets. Try a Handel 

Pop—vanilla, chocolate, or mint chocolate 

chip ice cream covered in rich gourmet 

chocolate and served on a stick. 1011

You’re enjoying a 

frozen treat when 

suddenly you feel 

intense pain in your 

head. It doesn’t last 

long, but it can stop 

you from taking 

your next bite. The 

scientific term is 

“sphenopalatine 

ganglioneuralgia,” 

but we’ll stick with 

“brain freeze.” To get 

rid of it, try drinking 

something warm, 

placing your tongue 

on the roof of your 

mouth, or tilting 

your head back for 

about 10 seconds. 

Kona Ice 

You’ll find Pink Ice Cream Cart cruising 

around Folsom in their Barbie-colored 

cart full of over 30 yummy ice cream 

treats, from fudge bars and popsicles to 

snow cones, ice cream sandwiches, and 

more. They’re also available for parties, 

corporate events, and fundraisers. 916- 

220-6327, pinkicecreamcart.com 

Mobile dessert is the best idea and Kona Ice 

is another one you’ll find in neighborhoods 

and at events. Walk up to the window, order 

your Kona, then add whatever flavors you 

want. Tiger’s Blood? Blue Raspberry? Groovy 

Grape? Ninja Cherry? The choice is yours!

Just like the real deal, shaved snow is 

light and fluffy. At Vampire Penguin, 

it’s also creamy and available in ample 

flavors. Pick your poison and choose some 

toppings or go with one of the menu items 

like Strawberry Cheesecake, Smoreo’s, 

or Peanut Butter Cup. Leave the guilt 

behind; shaved snow has four times fewer 

calories and sugar compared to some ice 

creams and frozen yogurts. 420 Palladio 

Parkway, Suite 1705, Folsom, 916) 510-1732,

PAT 

QUAN 

Buying or selling a home is exciting. It’s a big 

event because a home is more than 

just a house – it’s where you spend most of 

your time, raise a family and create 

memories that last forever. My role is to apply 

my extensive skills, knowledge and 

experience to help you, my client, in this 

process. 

I am honored to earn the right to lead you 

through the sale or acquisition of your 

most prized possession – your home. My 20+ 

years of sales and negotiation 

experience and impeccable attention to detail 

mean you can count on me to help 

you move through this important stage of your 

life. 

“Pat Quan is the one! He is an amazing 

person and the best agent I have 

ever worked with. Pat provided excellent 

leadership and was instrumental 

in negotiating the various offers. Pat is 

honest, an excellent communicator, 

organized and a very hard worker.” 

–Sandra B., Seller, El Dorado Hills
