San Francisco General Hospital Foundation

TO SUPPORT AND FUND EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT CARE AND INNOVATION AT (CONT'D: SCHEDULE O) ZUCKERBERG SAN FRANCISCO GENERAL HOSPITAL AND TRAUMA CENTER (ZSFG) BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN HEALTH EQUITY, ACCESS, AND QUALITY HEALTH CARE FOR ALL PEOPLE.

THE COVID-19 EMERGENCY FUND WAS CREATED IN MARCH 2020 IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, MOBILIZING RESOURCES FROM THE BROADER PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT ZUCKERBERG SAN FRANCISCO GENERAL'S CENTRAL ROLE IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO'S RESPONSE TO THE CRISIS. THE FUND SUPPORTED THE ESTABLISHMENT AND EXPANSION OF COVID-19 TESTING FACILITIES; CRITICAL PPE AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES; EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES FOR INFECTION CONTROL AND STAFF AND PATIENT SCREENING FOR BOTH INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT FACILITIES; ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY TO ALLOW PATIENTS IN ISOLATION TO REMAIN CONNECTED WITH LOVED ONES; SUPPORT FOR HOSPITAL STAFF WORKING AT THE FRONT LINES OF THE PANDEMIC RESPONSE; AND SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS. THE FUND HAS ALSO ESTABLISHED INITIATIVES TO ENHANCE TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY AND ADDRESS HEALTH EQUITY DISPARITIES THAT HAVE BEEN HEIGHTENED BY THE COVID PANDEMIC FOR OUR PATIENT POPULATION AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY.

SOLID START PROMOTES HEALTH AND HEALTH EQUITY BY INTEGRATING SOCIAL, BEHAVIORAL, AND MEDICAL CARE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN AND FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AGES 0 THROUGH 3. THE PROGRAM COLLABORATES DIRECTLY WITH FAMILIES IN OUR TARGET POPULATION AND CROSS-SECTOR COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH; BRIDGES THE PRENATAL AND POSTPARTUM DIVIDE WITH A FAMILY-CENTERED APPROACH TO WHOLE PERSON CARE; AND CAPITALIZES ON THE PERIODICITY OF BOTH PRENATAL CARE AND POSTNATAL WELL-CHILD VISITS TO MEET FAMILIES WHERE THEY ARE.

THE ZUCKERBERG PATIENT CARE AND QUALITY IMPROVEMENT FUND WAS ESTABLISHED AS PART OF THE TRANSFORMATIONAL GRANT FROM PRISCILLA CHAN AND MARK ZUCKERBERG. THE FUND SUPPORTS A BROAD RANGE OF CAPITAL, TECHNOLOGY, AND PROGRAMMATIC PROJECTS THAT AIM TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PATIENT CARE AT ZSFG. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: CONTINUING TO OPTIMIZE THE HOSPITAL FOR ACCESS, READINESS, AND SAFETY; TRANSFORMING THE PATIENT, STAFF, AND VISITOR EXPERIENCE; AND INVESTING IN THE HOSPITAL'S FUTURE BY ENABLING LEADERS TO TRANSFORM HOW PATIENT CARE IS DELIVERED.
