Community Relations
We engage local communities in UCSF projects and activities, working with decision-makers to incorporate community input into our initiatives. You can find all active projects here.
Government Relations
We serve as UCSF’s liaison to our local, state, and federal elected officials and agencies. We promote UCSF’s research, educational and patient care efforts, and facilitate ways for UCSF to partner with government.
Anchor Institution Mission
UCSF and community partners collaborate to increase the economic security and address social determinants of health for under-resourced local populations through workforce development, procurement, and community investment.
Advocacy
We mobilize our campus communities, connect with lawmakers, and take action to advocate for public policy at the local, state, and federal level to advance UCSF's mission.
