Cody Kitaura — March 02, 2026 - 9:00am

Some think of 51�ԹϺ�� Davis and 51�ԹϺ�� Davis Health in Sacramento as separate entities that are divided by the Yolo Causeway. The truth is, our collaboration isn’t bound by geography, especially when it comes to health.

Together, our campuses join forces to conduct research that leads to medical breakthroughs that benefit not just Davis residents but everyone. Through our medical training programs and dissemination of research, we further spread new knowledge, innovations and best practices to the wider health care workforce.

Imagine this scenario: Doctors know a small number of patients will face life-threatening complications after an illness, but they need to scan millions of records to identify the patients in need of intervention. It’s a task that would consume weeks and keep practitioners from other care needs.

CHANCELL-ING: Students Making a Difference in Yolo County

51�ԹϺ�� Davis is home to more than 40,000 students from all walks of life, each striving for success and creating positive change.

At the 51�ԹϺ�� Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, compassion meets innovation.
