Patient Care
Each year, we take care of hundreds of patients in our inpatient hospital services, and thousands of patients in our neurology clinics. We are unique in providing specialized care across all aspects of neurology to the most diverse patient population in San Francisco.
Our faculty and staff work closely with the divisions of Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Neurosurgery in a commitment to transforming the health and saving the lives of our patients--24 hours per day, 365 days per year. As a teaching hospital, our medical teams are always comprised of the next generation of physicians working closely with world leaders in neurologic care. As a safety net hospital, we work side by side with the Department of Public Health to provide equitable access to healthcare for all.
