UCSF Medical Center and UCSF Children's
Hospital are recognized throughout the world as leaders in
health care, known for innovative medicine, advanced technology
and compassionate care. For almost a century, we have offered
unparalleled medical treatment. Today, our expertise covers
virtually all conditions, including cancer, heart disease,
infertility, neurological disorders, organ transplantation
and orthopedics as well as special services for women and
children.
As an academic medical center, we are unlike community hospitals
in that we offer pioneering treatments not widely available
elsewhere. For example, we have the only nationally designated
Comprehensive Cancer Center in Northern California. The center
is dedicated to finding new and better treatments for cancer
patients. We also have Northern California's only nationally
designated Center of Excellence in Women's Health, which offers
specialized care and health education for women.
Another area of distinction is our health service for children.
Our UCSF Children's Hospital is a "hospital within a
hospital" with more than 150 pediatric specialists practicing
in more than 50 areas of medicine. We have programs designed
specifically for young patients, including a 50-bed neonatal
intensive care nursery, recreational therapy for recovering
kids and 60 outreach clinics throughout Northern California.
Our physicians were the first in the world to successfully
perform surgery on a baby still in the womb. They also developed
life-saving treatments for premature infants whose lungs aren't
fully developed.
In the area of neurology and neurosurgery, we are among the
top five hospitals in the nation. We have the largest brain
tumor treatment program in the nation, as well as the only
comprehensive memory disorders center and the only comprehensive
epilepsy center in Northern California.
We also have one of one of the nation's largest centers for
kidney and liver transplants. Our AIDS program is the most
comprehensive in the nation and our surgical eye care program
is the largest in Northern California. In the area of orthopedics,
we are internationally recognized for treating the spine,
including deformities, degenerative disc disease, tumors and
fractures.
In addition to that world-class medical knowledge, we believe
that the compassion of our physicians, nurses and other staff
are key to our success. We receive countless letters of gratitude
from patients and their families, a true measure of the valuable
and caring service we provide.
UCSF Medical Center and UCSF Children's Hospital are part
of the University of California, San Francisco. The University
of California at San Francisco is the only campus of UC dedicated
solely to graduate and professional study in the health sciences.
