Beyond Medical Care
Our team is taking special precautions to keep you and your loved one safe while at ZSFG. We have put special restrictions in place for visitors. These restrictions can change as the status of COVID-19 changes in our community.
The guidelines apply to all employees of the City and County of San Francisco, UCSF, first responder and emergency personnel. To keep everyone safe, masking is required for all patients, staff, and visitors in all areas where patients are present.
We are here to serve you in ways that go beyond medical treatment.
We know that good health means more than great doctors and medical services. Whatever your age, gender, background, neighborhood – we care about all of you.
