The San Francisco Health Commission on Wednesday recognized several teams from Zuckerberg San Francisco General for work the commissioners said strengthens patient care and staff resilience, then received the hospital's 2023 annual report from CEO Susan Ehrlich.
The commission presented awards to the hospital's Department of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; the Staff Experience and Well-being Team; the Code Lavender rapid-response team; the Women's Options Clinic; and the Psychiatric Emergency Services team. Commissioner Guillamo praised DEI leaders 'Sofia Lai and Gretel's contributions that "increased participation from 50% to a consistent 65% and above" in equity initiatives, while Commissioner Chao described the Code Lavender response as "a program that activates a rapid response team" to support staff after traumatic events.
Ehrlich told the commission the annual report's theme was "emerging into our new normal," noting the document is the first in several years not dominated by COVID. She said ZSFG serves about 100,000 patients a year, provides roughly 20% of San Francisco's inpatient care, recorded more than 280,000 outpatient visits and about 65,000 emergency visits in the year covered by the report. Ehrlich described the hospital's annual operating budget as "a little bit more than a billion" dollars, with general fund support at about $100 million (roughly 10% of the budget).
Ehrlich emphasized the hospital's long partnership with UCSF, including research activity she reported as more than $200 million in awards and more than 300 principal investigators. She also credited the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation with raising funds and named the Equity Innovation (formerly HEARTS) grants and the Transformational and Behavioral Health Fund as examples of philanthropy supporting innovation on campus.
The CEO highlighted capital projects including a new UCSF-owned research building (referred to in the report as Bridgell/Bridal Hall) and seismic work financed by the 2016 bond, which she said is about 30% complete. Ehrlich said the hospital continues to provide COVID care and vaccinations but that pandemic response is no longer the sole focus.
Commissioners praised staff and asked about collaborative work with Laguna Honda Hospital and pediatric services; Deputy Director Navina Baba noted ZSFG's role in the city's vaccination campaigns for COVID and monkeypox.
The commission did not vote on actions tied to the report; Ehrlich concluded by offering to answer questions and sharing the full annual report for commissioners and the public to review.
