individuals. We put our patients’ priorities at the center of our care, and strive to translate our cutting-edge research into therapies that improve people’s lives.</p> <h2>Better Care Is Our Bottom Line</h2> <p>UCSF is recognized globally for innovative treatments, advanced technology and pioneering research applied to patient care. Our team of physicians includes leading experts in virtually all specialties, including cancer, neurological disorders, immunological disorders and HIV/AIDS, as well as specialty services for women and children.</p> <p>We pride ourselves on our individualized approach to our patients, who come to us from all over the Bay Area and the world to tackle some of the toughest health challenges. From primary care to the most complex conditions, our clinical programs cover comprehensive medical, psychiatric and dental services for adults and children.</p> <p>In keeping with our people-first philosophy, UCSF was among the first to introduce hospitalists, who coordinate the care that a hospitalized patient may receive from multiple specialists. Many of our patients undergo complex treatments, and the safe and effective coordination of all elements of their care is our highest priority. It’s another example of how we recognize that when it comes to patient care, the whole is often greater than the sum of its parts.</p> <h2>Nationally Ranked, Locally Available</h2> <p>UCSF provides patient care at the following locations:</p> <p><strong>UCSF Medical Center:</strong> Our academic medical center for adult care consistently ranks among the nation’s top hospitals in the annual best hospitals survey by <em>US News & World Report</em>. <a href="http://www.ucsfhealth.org" target="_blank">UCSF Medical Center </a>is a quaternary care hospital, the highest designation for facilities that can treat the most complex and specialized conditions.
