UCSF - Mt. Zion Medical Center

Patient care at Mount Zion has been reconfigured to create a hub of services focusing on the UCSF Cancer Center, an urgent care center, ambulatory surgery, and outpatient clinical services. The UCSF Cancer Center, the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Northern California, remains at Mount Zion and soon will include a new five-story, 88,000-square-foot building devoted to outpatient cancer services and radiation therapy. Now under construction, the new building is slated to open later this year. Other programs at Mount Zion include many of UCSF's women's health services and the newly established UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Medicine.

Inpatient services have been centralized at the UCSF Medical Center at Parnassus where plans include adding new operating rooms, expanding critical care services, and increasing emergency room capacity.

The goal of this reconfiguration of patient services across UCSF sites is to preserve both Mount Zion and Parnassus Heights as active centers, each providing a different set of programs vital to the mission of the UCSF School of Medicine.
