UCSF has completed construction of a monumental $1.5 Billion “Next Generation” hospital at the Mission Bay Campus. The hospital complex opened February 1, 2015 after planning for 10 years and started construction in December 2010. The UCSF Mission Bay Campus is comprised of three hospitals for women, children and cancer patients to expand the services in an optimal healing environment.
UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay also will feature the only operating hospital helipad in San Francisco to transport critically ill babies, children and pregnant women to the medical center from outlying hospitals.
The hospitals feature state-of-the art technology, including the world’s largest hospital fleet of autonomous robotic couriers which will deliver linens, meals and medications. Interactive media walls in each private room will enable patients to communicate with their families and clinicians.
