UCSF Medical Center
The UCSF Medical Center is a research and teaching hospital in San Francisco, California, and is a medical center of the University of California, San Francisco. It is affiliated with the UCSF School of Medicine and the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. UCSF Medical Center is a part of UCSF Health, the healthcare delivery group and care-delivery arm of University of California, San Francisco.
It was founded in 1907 at the site of Parnassus Heights, on Mount Sutro, following the 1906 earthquake, and it was the first hospital in the University of California system. The university acquired Mount Zion Hospital in 1990, which became the second major clinical site and since 1999 has hosted the first comprehensive cancer center in Northern California. Beginning in 2001, the university expanded in the Mission Bay neighborhood and added a new medical center with three new hospitals.
Within a month of the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the faculty of the medical school voted to make room in their building for a teaching hospital by moving the departments responsible for the first two years of preclinical instruction across San Francisco Bay to the Berkeley campus.
In March 1907, the new hospital opened with 75 beds. The immediate need for nurses to staff the new facility led to the founding of the UCSF nursing school.
In 1949, the UC Hospital was officially renamed the "University of California Medical Center."
Mount Zion Hospital, which had opened in 1897, merged with UCSF in 1990.
The medical center received a philanthropic donation of $100 million from Chuck Feeney in February 2015, the largest gift by an individual in the history of the UC system. In 2018, UCSF received a commitment of $500 million for the construction of a new hospital, which will be built at Parnassus, replacing the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute.
UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center at Parnassus Heights is located on the main campus of UCSF and includes the 600-bed teaching hospital of the same name along with the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute, extensive research labs, the main branch of the UCSF Library, and is home to the UCSF School of Medicine, UCSF School of Nursing, UCSF School of Dentistry, and UCSF School of Pharmacy.
