UCSF Foundation (Univ of Calif San Francisco)

Our Mission

With an overarching mission of “advancing health worldwide,” UC San Francisco is devoted at every level to serving the public. At UC San Francisco, we are driven by the idea that when the best research, the best teaching and the best patient care converge, we can deliver breakthroughs that help heal the world.

From free children’s health screenings to providing care for the low-income, homeless and under-insured, from innovative partnerships attacking the roots of poor health care to cutting-edge biotechnology that will cure some of the most pernicious diseases, UCSF brings significant resources to an ambitious public mission — and not only does so every day, but has done so for nearly 150 years.
