Northbay Health Named Exclusive Official Healthcare Partner of Summer Sessions at the Meritage Resort

NorthBay Health and Blue Note Napa are joining forces to bring health, wellness, and community connection to one of Napa Valley’s premier live music experiences.

Blue Note Napa Summer Sessions is an outdoor concert series featuring world-class music at The Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa Valley. The 2026 Summer Sessions run through October 24. As the Exclusive Official Healthcare Partner through 2027, Northbay Health brings a season-long wellness presence to Summer Sessions, helping concertgoers enjoy the music and make the most of their experience.

The partnership kicks off with a new creative collaboration: the Summer Sessions Commemorative Art Program, featuring original artwork by acclaimed San Francisco artist Galine Tumasyan, known for her concert poster designs for the famed Fillmore. Following her popular collaboration with Northbay Health at BottleRock Napa Valley, Tumasyan returns to create an original design celebrating this year’s Summer Sessions. The original artwork will be on display alongside the stage throughout the season, along with commemorative posters and merchandise available for purchase at the venue and online. Fifty percent of net profits from every piece of art merchandise sold will be donated to the Northbay Health Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to the health of our community.

The campaign is anchored by the message, “Art is Health, Music is Medicine,” bringing together art, music, and Northbay Health’s commitment to wellness and the community.

“At Northbay Health, we believe building healthier communities requires us to think beyond the traditional boundaries of healthcare,” said Mark Behl, president and CEO of Northbay Health. “This partnership is about more than being present at Summer Sessions, it’s about creating meaningful experiences, supporting local culture, and finding new ways to invest in the health and well-being of the communities we serve.”

“Blue Note Napa is all about creating memorable experiences, and we’re thrilled to welcome Northbay Health as our Exclusive Official Healthcare Partner,” said Ken Tesler, Managing Director of Blue Note Napa. “Their commitment to the community is a natural fit for Summer Sessions, and we’re excited about the ways this partnership will add to the guest experience throughout the season.”

The partnership reflects Northbay Health’s commitment to strengthening the health and well-being of the communities it serves across Napa, Solano and Yolo counties, while supporting local arts and culture.
