Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center provides comprehensive patient care for the residents of San Francisco regardless of their ability to pay. UCSF has been affiliated with Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) since 1884 and shares in the mission of providing quality healthcare and trauma services with compassion and respect. ZSFG is the only Level 1 trauma center in San Francisco and Northern San Mateo County and serves 1.5 million residents of the Bay Area. A new main hospital building was opened in 2016.

ZSFG has a long history as a major-academic tertiary care medical center. Infectious diseases has played an important role in shaping ZSFG. In the 1980s, some of the nation’s first AIDS patients were cared for at ZSFG, and the hospital became a model for AIDS and HIV care. Established in 1983 as one of the first HIV clinics in the country, the HIV clinic located at Ward 86 cares for nearly 3000 HIV-infected San Francisco residents.
