The medical center, the first in the University of California system, was founded a year after the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire in San Francisco, which exposed the lack of healthcare services for the city. Affiliated with the University of California at San Francisco, the medical center has 600 beds, 7,000 employees and outreach clinics throughout Northern California. It includes UCSF Medical Center at Parnassus, UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion and a planned 289-bed, $1.5 billion medical center in the Mission Bay district near downtown San Francisco, scheduled to open in 2014.
