In a recent vote, UCSF faculty endorsed the San Francisco General Hospital rebuild bond measure that will appear on the November 4, 2008 San Francisco ballot as Proposition A.
Most UCSF employees and many in the community are aware of the central role of San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH) as the City's safety net hospital that serves all people, regardless of income or insurance status. SFGH provides comprehensive medical care, from primary care and prevention to sub-specialties, emergency and disaster response. It is also San Francisco's only Level 1 Trauma Center, as well as the only psychiatric emergency service.
