The capital of California, the city of Sacramento is located in Northern California’s Sacramento Valley. The sixth-largest city in California, Sacramento certainly has more of a well-developed downtown vibe, with a smattering of historical buildings mixed in with new businesses. The city  prides itself on its urban forest, boasting more trees per capita than anywhere else in the world. This hot-summer Mediterranean climate will often send residents to the American River for recreational activities both on the water and in the surrounding green spaces. Winters are often foggy, but avoid snow for the most part. Known for being one of the most well-integrated U.S. cities, there are large Asian populations as well as diverse African American and Hispanic communities. The two major public universities also contribute to wide variety of higher educational opportunities. If you’re looking for a pleasant, culturally diverse city-feel to explore on your next travel nursing contract, then perhaps Kaiser Permanente Sacramento Medical Center is the right place for you!
