Sacramento County's $8.9B Recommended Budget Cuts Health Services $5.4M and Deletes 194.5 Positions — Hearings June 10-12
Sacramento County's recommended FY2026-27 budget totals $8.9 billion (down 2.8% from the prior year) and trims the Health Services base budget by $5.4 million, cuts Correctional Health by $4.1 million, and deletes 194.5 full-time-equivalent positions countywide — with funding for dozens of those positions tied directly to H.R. 1 revenue loss.
Adoption hearings run June 10-12 at 700 H Street. For WellSpace Health and Sacramento Native American Health Center, the erosion of the county health backstop accelerates the patient-demand pipeline toward FQHCs without any matching county referral funding.
