Support for Patient Care - Children's Health

Children's Health

caring for the smallest patients

Using its strengths as a teaching hospital to bring the most advanced treatments to its pediatric patients, UCSF has long been known for the quality of its children’s medical services. The University continues to work diligently to provide the highest level of care specifically tailored to the needs of its smallest patients.

The following children’s health programs are fundraising priorities:

UCSF Children’s Hospital
UCSF Children’s Hospital draws upon the research and clinical prowess of the University to offer superlative pediatric care. More than 150 specialists in 45 medical, surgical and related disciplines—as well as hundreds of Hospital support staff—are dedicated to children's health. This talented team has pioneered numerous groundbreaking techniques, including life-saving treatments for premature infants and life-extending treatments for children with cancer, diabetes, heart conditions and HIV/AIDS. Gifts to this priority will help sustain the people and programs at UCSF Children's Hospital and fund essential equipment.

Fetal Treatment and Discovery Center
The Fetal Treatment and Discovery Center at UCSF was the first to perform successful surgery on a fetus and remains the world leader in fetal diagnosis and therapy. Thanks in large part to efforts by UCSF physicians, an increasing number of fetal anomalies are corrected before birth. Gifts to this priority will help ensure that UCSF has the resources to retain the experts and support the facilities that enable the Center to save young lives.

To support the Fetal Treatment and Discovery Center, contact Alison Gray at 415/514-1646 or agray@support.ucsf.edu.

Children’s Center at Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute
When a child is mentally disturbed, early intervention can sometimes forestall a lifetime of unhappiness. The Children's Center at Langley Porter provides expert diagnosis and age-appropriate treatment for children and families. Gifts to this priority will expand specialty clinics, augment services for teens and enhance training opportunities for child psychiatrists.
