Today, more than 2,000 UCSF employees work alongside 3,000 SFGH employees to provide a full range of patient care services at SFGH. More than 160 principal investigators conduct research through programs based at the SFGH campus with an annual budget of more than $83 million – money allocated by federal and state grants and private and corporate donations.

SFGH offers a valuable training ground, serving diverse patients with some of the city’s most complex and chronic problems, including HIV, homelessness and substance abuse. It provides distinct services such as a high-level trauma center and the city’s busiest emergency department, as well as inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, psychiatric and rehabilitation services for adults and children. In addition, SFGH has the only psychiatric emergency service in the region. Serving some 100,000 people a year, SFGH is the main provider in the Department of Public Health (DPH) Community Health Network, which includes 20 neighborhood clinics.

For its part, UCSF contributes the talent and teamwork of its faculty, residents and students who provide high-quality patient care services and conduct cutting-edge clinical and basic research, from pioneering treatment for HIV/AIDS to detecting drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus. Their groundbreaking discoveries and innovations are often translated into improved health practices, protocols and policies around the world.
