Item 1.  Security and Issuer

                  This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock,  $.01 par value
per share ("Common Stock"), of Physicians Clinical Laboratory,  Inc., a Delaware
corporation  ("PCL"),  whose principal  executive  offices are located at 3301 C
Street, Suite 100E, Sacramento, California 95816.


Item 2.  Identity and Background

                  Sutter  Health  is  a  California   nonprofit  public  benefit
corporation  ("Sutter")  whose principal  office is located at One Capitol Mall,
Sacramento,   California  95814.  The  principal  business  of  Sutter  and  its
affiliates is the operation of an integrated health care delivery system.

                  Sutter  Ambulatory Care Corporation is a California  nonprofit
public benefit  corporation  ("SACC") whose  principal  office is located at One
Capitol Mall,  Sacramento,  California 95814. The principal  business of SACC is
the  provision of hospital and other  health care  services.  Sutter is the sole
corporate  member of SACC and in such  capacity  has the right to appoint all of
the directors of SACC.

                  Information  with  respect  to  the  executive   officers  and
directors  of each of Sutter and SACC is set forth on Schedule 1 and Schedule 2,
respectively, to this Schedule 13D.

                  Each of Sutter,  SACC and the executive officers and directors
specified on Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 to this Schedule 13D have not, during the
last five years, (a) been convicted in a criminal proceeding or (b) been a party
to any civil  proceeding  of a  judicial  or  administrative  body of  competent
jurisdiction  resulting in a judgement,  decree or final order enjoining  future
violations  of, or prohibiting  or mandating  activities  subject to, Federal or
State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.


Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

                  See  Item 4 below  with  respect  to the  interest  in  shares
previously  acquired by Sutter.  As  described  in Item 4 below,  on November 8,
1996,  PCL filed a voluntary  petition for relief under  Chapter 11, Title 11 of
the United States Code. PCL's plan of reorganization (the  "Reorganization") was
effective  as of October  3,  1997.  Except as  otherwise  indicated,  all share
amounts in this Item 4 represent shares outstanding prior to the Reorganization.

                  SACC  acquired  1,268,714  shares of Common Stock on August 1,
1992, in exchange for interests  held by SACC in California  Regional  Reference
Laboratory,  a California limited partnership.  Such partnership  interests were
originally  acquired by SACC in 1986 using  working  capital.  The  exchange was
carried out  pursuant  to Section  3(a)(10) of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
amended,  after a hearing on the fairness of the transaction was held before the
California  Commissioner of  Corporations.  SACC acquired an additional  125,000
shares of Common  Stock on October 21, 1992 for $8 per share  directly  from the
underwriters  as part of  PCL's  initial  public  offering.  Such  purchase  was
financed from working capital.  SACC's acquisition of shares of Common Stock was
previously  reported on a Schedule  13D, as amended (the  "SACC/Sutter  Schedule
13D"), which is being amended hereby.

                  Pursuant  to the terms of the  Reorganization,  all  1,393,714
shares of PCL Common Stock owned by SACC were canceled in exchange for a warrant
to acquire 30,263 shares of New Common Stock (as defined in Item 4 below).

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

                  On May 10, 1995, PCL granted to Sutter a warrant to acquire an
aggregate  of  1,200,000  shares  of  Common  Stock  (the  "Warrant").  Sutter's
acquisition of the Warrant was previously  reported on the SACC/Sutter  Schedule
13D which is being amended  hereby.  As  consideration  for the Warrant,  Sutter
entered into a General  Continuing  Guaranty dated May 10, 1995 (the "Guaranty")
in favor  of Wells  Fargo  Bank,  National  Association,  as agent  for  certain
financial  institutions who were lenders to PCL  (collectively,  the "Lenders"),
guarantying  up to $3.5  million  of certain  obligations  of PCL under a Credit
Agreement with the Lenders and certain amendments thereto.  The Warrant provided
that it shall  expire on the  ninetieth  day  following  the  expiration  of the
Guaranty.  The  Guaranty  expired on  December  30, 1997 and,  accordingly,  the
Warrant expired on March 30, 1997. No portion of the Warrant was ever exercised.
Sutter no longer has any  beneficial  ownership  of the  shares of Common  Stock
previously covered by the Warrant.

                  On November 8, 1996, PCL filed a voluntary petition for relief
under  Chapter  11,  Title 11 of the United  States  Code in the  United  States
Bankruptcy  Court for the Central  District of California,  San Fernando  Valley
Division  (the   "Bankruptcy   Court").   The  Bankruptcy   Court  approved  the
Reorganization  effective  as of October 3, 1997.  Pursuant  to the terms of the
Reorganization,  the shareholders of PCL will receive,  as a group,  Warrants to
purchase 5% of the common stock of the  reorganized PCL (the "New Common Stock")
and all shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the  Reorganization  will be
cancelled.  Accordingly,  all 1,393,714 shares of PCL Common Stock owned by SACC
will be  canceled  in  exchange  for a warrant to acquire  30,263  shares of New
Common Stock.

                  On July 7, 1997,  PCL filed a  Notification  of Termination of
Registration  under  Section 12(g) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 with
respect to the Common Stock.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of Issuer

                  Sutter  may be deemed  to share  beneficial  ownership  of the
warrant to acquire  30,263 shares of New Common Stock owned directly by SACC, of
which Sutter is the sole corporate member.

                  Sutter  has  been   informed   by  counsel  to  PCL  that  the
capitalization of PCL after the Reorganization  will consist of 2,500,000 shares
of New Common Stock and  outstanding  warrants to acquire  131,579 shares of New
Common  Stock.  Based on this  capitalization,  Sutter and SACC may be deemed to
have beneficial ownership of 0.01% of the outstanding New Common Stock of PCL.

                  None of the executive officers and directors of each of Sutter
and SACC set forth on Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 beneficially  owns any shares of
PCL.


Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
        Securities of the Issuer

                  See Item 5 above.


Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits

                  None.
