UCSF Medical Center

Within a month of the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the faculty of the medical school voted to make room in their building for a teaching hospital by moving the departments responsible for the first two years of preclinical instruction across San Francisco Bay to the Berkeley campus. In March 1907, the new hospital opened with 75 beds. The immediate need for nurses to staff the new facility led to the founding of the UCSF nursing school. In 1949, the UC Hospital was officially renamed the "University of California Medical Center." Mount Zion Hospital, which had opened in 1897, merged with UCSF in 1990. The medical center received a philanthropic donation of $100 million from Chuck Feeney in February 2015, the largest gift by an individual in the history of the UC system. In 2018, UCSF received a commitment of $500 million for the construction of a new hospital, which will be built at Parnassus, replacing the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute. == Facilities ==
